The rooster has a slightly different attitude in Porto.

We were walking around Porto yesterday, and stopped into a cafe to get something to drink. October 5 is Republic Day in Portugal, and the TV in the cafe was showing live news reports. Coverage alternated between officials making speeches or raising flags and various people protesting or shouting angrily.

Perhaps some of the Portuguese people feel they have been treated as unfairly as the pilgrim of Barcelos. But who do they believe has taken on the role of the unjust judge? The government? The IMF? The EU?
