Granted, in that period from 2002 to 2006 a lot of temporary jobs (for mileuristas) were created
yes, and lots of middle class made a mint on property development, shares profits, and 'financial services', (without asking too many questions about how those luxy profits were generated).
no party lasts for ever. how much of that growth investment was borrowed at high interest, and and at what price to the ecosystem?
it wouldn't surprise me if people did keep their heads down and not complain if 1000€ really could build a future, ie if there's a big deflation, and enough middlemen go under. i imagine that kind of money remains a dream for our fabled portugese peasant, or his old mother trying to cut it on a state pension... ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate."
