The coverage of that stuff in Portugal is something else bc you have Sic (RW-owned tv station) doing a weird stance of "We're horrified at the France riots, being done by everyone we fear, but we also want that to happen here since our fuel taxes are higher (While glossing over like, EVERYTHING ELSE like the tax decreases and the crackdown on a lot of poo poo) and gently caress even having a single yellow vest person complete a sentence here (Down to mocking them for not voting Macron and for using such a lame uniform!)" while our state-owned broadcaster... actually asked the protesters about stuff. Not necessarily siding, but actually giving a run down on what lead to it.

She's also big enough to get fluff pieces around and invitations to events like Web Submit Lisbon, so my guess is that she doesn't want to compromise her balancing act of being The Extreme Right Wing choice but also The Vocally Different Engager of Different Opinions that leads to us making GBS threads out "She can't be xenophobic, her favorite restaurant is Portuguese!"

Huh, looks like we might get ourselves some yellow jackets of our own. Of course there's "Why are you people whining when we don't when we get less" resentment and "Actually we're super pro-cop and pro-authority, we are polite unlike those uppity entitled savages there" poo poo, I mean why would you even bother to check what the french ones are saying or even if something similar happened before or God Forbid, actually look at how the extremely high income people and industries were let from the whole Carbon tax ordeal. That would mean huuuh, doing effort other than "It's spontaneous on Facebook!11" and "lol why are you nerds using safety equipment"
