According to the SINSEF union, industrial action since the beginning of last week has seen 86 percent of administration workers lay down their pens in protest at a loss of rights they enjoyed up until 2008.
The action has mostly affected the issuing of residence permits and golden visas to large investors.
As a golden visa investor that was made numerous promises, I have lost faith in the Portugal government to deliver. They have asked for help during difficult financial times but have betrayed investors trust. This is an abuse of the system and very disappointing. The delays, poor policies and inefficient administration is frustrating. It makes Portugal seem dishonest.
