Solving Portugal's economic woes
Isa Soares looks at a card game that explores the country's economic situation with a bit of humor.
Portugal's economic predicament has been likened to a delicate game of chess between a very fragile coalition and troika. Well, one man has taken the idea further and thus came up with the game of cards. This is called They Are in Troika, the Concept of Troika??.
The whole purpose is to make fun of a very serious situation?
The very purpose is to make people think about a serious, a very serious period of this country by having fun with the situation, and the people and all the characters which were responsible for our days.
How has the situation changed, would you say, in the last couple of years?
The last number that has come out shows some recovery, very slight recovery and the debt in one month?(unemployment) is still very high.And everyday we hear about companies wanting to reduce staff. So even if the real, the numbers show a better situation in the economy, people on the street won't feel it.
What do you want people to take away from this game. If there is one thing you would like me to take away from it, what should that be?
You can win the game by balancing all the groups together and not by corrupting, for instance, your own country.
The Portugues government has a lot work to do. Let's just hope they will continue to play that cards right.
