The ethics of Portuguese judges
Of course there are competent and honest judges, prosecutors and lawyers in Portugal. The problem is that they are so few (in my opinion not more than 1% in this class) that even if you are very lucky to find an honest lawyer and judge (I have never been that lucky), he/she cannot be of much help against the crooked people who clog the gears of the very corrupt and inept Portuguese justice system as a whole. This post is not about those good people, who very unfortunately are the rare exception.
Anyway, the terrible reality is that you are the unluckiest person in the world, if one day your life hangs on the decision of a Portuguese judge, it is almost certain that this judge will dictate the most outrageous, incomprehensible, shameful and unfair sentence against you and all in favor of the acquittal of the criminal who has harmed you so much, and will likely do so with great joy.
When you are in a Portuguese court (or even outside of it), you clearly feel that you are treated like a criminal, or at least like a big nuisance, and the criminal, on the contrary, is treated like a victim. This is shameful beyond words.
The Portuguese, for the most part, are probably among the most dishonest and stupid people in the world. In fact, the personality of most Portuguese is a hideous mixture of these traits. However, when certain Portuguese get into positions of power, these character flaws are greatly exacerbated by the power they are given, which will more often than not cause devastating damage to the lives of the people under and dependent on their decisions.
Much worse (and much more dangerous) than an idiot is an idiot with power.
In addition, these Portuguese judges, like the general population, are extremely ignorant and uneducated on many subjects. Mix this with the typical Portuguese meanness, envy, inferiority complex and laziness and it can only spell disaster for the victims.
As stupid and criminal as it sounds, and it is, it is very common in Portugal for Poortuguese judges, when they don’t immediately dismiss cases, to “sentence” people who have been victims of a crime, such as fraud, to negotiate* (either explicitly or implicitly) with the thief who stole from them! Yes, you read that right! The robbed victim has to “bargain” and beg the thief for their money!!! This is fu**ing Poortugal and this is the Poortuguese mob in action! How can this piece of shit “country” even be legal to exist, and on top of that be in the EU sucking our money?!
* Obviously, this is just a euphemism used by the phony Portuguese courts so that the criminal can keep the loot and avoid any legal consequences.
Portuguese judges are also very good at copy/pasting sentences, even if they totally contradict themselves, are riddled with gross errors and use outright absurd and outdated language. You really get the feeling that you’re reading a letter coming from the court of a dictatorship, which it is. Portuguese courts use the language of swindlers.
Every day, unscrupulous Portuguese judges and public prosecutors systematically acquit and exonerate (directly or indirectly) hundreds of criminals from legitimate prosecutions, criminally denying justice to the victims, destroying people’s lives, destroying society, destroying the economy and with it; ABOLISHING DEMOCRACY.
Of course, the majority of these Portuguese judges and prosecutors would NEVER be qualified and accepted to practice in any other country of the civilized world, for the simple requirement of competence, let alone for reasons of ethics and deontology.
In fact, most of these criminal Portuguese judges and prosecutors should have been in jail long ago, or at the very least removed from office, because they are by far the most dangerous enemies of Portugal, for the simple reason that they are hijacking democracy by NOT doing their FUNDAMENTAL job in democracy.
However, not everything that goes wrong in the Portuguese justice system can be attributed to corruption alone, but also due to the fact that its officials, especially its judges and prosecutors, are also very lazy, sloppy and stupid, like the majority of the Portuguese population, which obviously does not make their behavior any less criminal.
Shockingly, or not so much, the Portuguese seem very happy with this. With all these scandals, this country should be in civil war by now, due to the extreme state of unbridled corruption, thievery and INJUSTICE that the country has reached, but there is not even a demonstration of two guys with a placard protesting in the streets.
Is it possible to be more stupid than this? Judges and prosecutors protect the scum, the cancer of society, which only impoverishes it, to the detriment of the people who add real value to society and make the economy grow for the benefit of all. Of course, they act like this because they are obviously scum too.
It is like having a lawn and only nurturing the weeds and killing the grass.
Portuguese judges also have their hands stained with blood, because whenever they refuse to do justice, they are also responsible for some of the wronged victims seeking a personal reckoning “ajusta de contas”, which so often happens in Portugal, destroying not only the lives of the victims, but also, unnecessarily, the lives of the perpetrators, often fatally. I’m sure the Portuguese judges find this hilarious, and I’m not kidding.
The media, the voice of freedom of speech and therefore the guardian of democracy itself (as it happens in every democracy, although Portugal is not a real democracy, but an endless chain of institutionalized and “legalized” frauds from the top to the bottom of society), the media prefers to be deafeningly silent most of the time, concealing and conniving. I have never seen such spineless people as the Portuguese, but I can explain this behavior, the Portuguese are, deep down, so bizarrely similar in terms of crooked mindset, that really it is only the chair they sit on and the job title that changes, inside they all think alike.
The boundless corruption and ineptitude of the Portuguese judiciary is so entrenched that there is even a Portuguese saying “a culpa morre solteira”, which translates as “the guilt die alone”, which only proves that the Portuguese are perfectly aware of the situation, but they prefer to accept this highly dangerous situation (mainly for themselves) as something as “just normal life”.
Democracy can only exist with a non-corrupt and effective Judicial System as well as a relentlessly vigilant Free Press. Portugal doesn’t have either, on the contrary, the entire Portuguese justice system, including the profiteering lawyers, is a scandalous fraud that feeds on the tragedies of the victims, who are despised and treated as a commodity to be profited from and not as human beings, precisely by those who have the duty in society to protect them and are the only and last resource for them. As for the free media, Portugal does not have any, but mainly political propaganda. That’s why Portugal is, in practical terms, a dictatorship, because the Portuguese NEVER stand up for their rights, I’m really convinced that the Portuguese don’t even know what democracy is and what citizenship means and that they are fully entitled to both as free human beings, but they must react and fight adamantly against the evil when it advances, and not systematically vote and reward criminal behavior, something the Portuguese NEVER do. In democracy, the power is in the hands of the collective people, but it needs courage, principles and above all solidarity to defend it, something that the Portuguese unfortunately completely lack. The Portuguese have happily surrendered democracy, handing it over to evil long ago.
Sadly, it is quite obvious that most of the Portuguese, for their own good, are not fit to be judges, prosecutors, lawyers, or any other profession that requires the highest foundation of integrity, ethics, intelligence, and by that I also mean common sense and competence, otherwise the consequences are dramatic on all levels, first of all for the Portuguese themselves, but the great irony is that most of the Portuguese, being so intellectually and morally limited, are not capable of seeing the problems as they are. As far as the Portuguese are concerned, it seems that they all live in paradise and therefore nothing needs to be changed, and when the mentality of a population is like this, it is certain that really NOTHING will ever change in Portugal for the better, only for the worse, as it is so clear before our eyes.
Curiously, and for some reason, I’ve never heard of a Portuguese being a judge, or for that matter in any other position related to the law, in any other country, not even in third world countries, let alone in developed countries, even with the massive emigration of Portuguese. The obvious reason for this impediment is, of course, first and foremost the tremendous lack of character, integrity, honesty and ethics so characteristic of this people in general, which is absolutely incompatible with the duties of the magistracy. By contrast, in Portugal they are at ease because they are all the same mediocrities and crooks, patting each other on the back, except for a tiny, decent minority without any power.
Yet, this is a Portuguese problem, not ours; the European Union cannot be forced to subsidize Portugal’s unbridled corruption and unleashed stupidity out of our pockets.
This is just another horrible side of Portugal, but the worst, since we are talking about the judicial system of a country, the most fundamental pillar of democracy. For some reason, Portugal is a bottomless money pit that never fixes itself, despite the huge flood of free money from the EU and the endless recurring bailouts that Portugal has constantly received over and over again for so many decades to no avail. The reason is quite simple, most Portuguese, no matter what social class, probably the higher the worse, are hopeless, as far as I can tell, for the most part they will always be dishonest and inept and so they will continue to steal and waste our money as long as we (the EU and others) are willing to give it to them.
Portugal is, and will continue to be, a huge embarrassment, a burden and a bottomless pit for OUR money.
Important note: This article and all the others on this blog are not about the 5% of decent Portuguese who care and who deserve all my sympathy and I sincerely wish them all the best, because I know what it is to be a person of integrity in Portugal. Nevertheless, the reality in Portugal is so severe and so ingrained in all strata of society that I have no other way to denounce it than to generalize.
A country where criminals and the powerful are systematically protected to the detriment of victims and its citizens is the definition of a dictatorship, which is why Portugal should leave the EU.
PORTUGAL ROBBED ME €130.000 EUR AND SIX YEARS OF MY LIFE!
Your comments are most welcome and appreciated, so please feel free to leave your comments at the bottom of this page.
you’re actually mentally ill. only a mentally ill person would dedicate an entire website to their schizo rants about their supposed experiences in portugal that it goes into the xenophobia terrority. Dont like portugal? LEAVE. We don’t want you. And maybe people put nails in your tires because you’re an insufferable prick whose only contribution to society is spreading hate. Go fuck yourself, I hope someone puts another nail in your tire.
To ASD, why do you guys try to hide your darkness ? You can simply choose to be a better person, and it costs nothing—0€.
You Portuguese are on the financial tube of the EU. You are one of the poorest countries in the Union. And that’s what you deserve. You do not have one positive characteristic. You only envy, are toxic, vicious and evil. Corrupted complaining fatalistic poor nation. You deserve what you get. To all expats and foreigners, think twice before you go to Portugal!
The REASON why foreign expats are flocking into Portugal is that the country is corrupt enough to ignore them and allow them to not pay any income taxes and even social security taxes as long as they do not involve themselves in any kind of business activity of large volume such as a million per year or more. The climate is warm enough to not having pay the heating bills and property tax on properties valued below €94001 are non-existente. And they can get free health care. Thus it is possibile to survive in Portogallo on a very little money, even if it is €1000, €500 or even €300 per month as longe as you own your own small rural property, thus you pay no property tax nor rent nor heating or a/c much, which already saves you many hundreds of €uros per month already. Then if you have a large enough plot of land you can grow your own vegetables and food, keep your own livestock, so you can survive on no money at all. Portugal is a country not only for crooks, but for those honest and poor people who have to choose between living a street bum’s life or a quite decent life in Portugal on a very low string budget. I have seen some German people living in Portugal in a tent made up from greenhouse plastic sheets, living with no money at all. There are some unfortunate people who can’t make a living. Some of them were victims of crooks in a country of their own and so they moved to Portugal to be able to survive.
Hi Pietro,
Very good point and so true. In Portugal there is no place for the middle class because it has to bear all the financial burden that is repeatedly squandered by Portuguese endemic corruption, which is a deadly cancer, and by an extremely inefficient State, full of redundant civil servants that are an enormous burden for the taxpayers. It is the so-called Portuguese “cunha” – jobs for friends, a system that to benefits one harms thousands.
In the end, Portugal is no doubt a paradise for crooks, or for people that accept to live an extremely modest life, being miserable and without dreams.
