The expulsion of RTP, RDP, and Lusa from Guinea-Bissau is just another proof of what everyone pretends not to see: Portugal has no power. It’s an irrelevant country clinging to a past of blood, looting, and massacre, but today it’s nothing more than Europe’s ass.
Portugal is small, poor, and problematic. Within the European Union, it’s seen as a burden—tolerated only because stronger countries pity it and because someone has to carry Europe’s backside. Drugs, smuggling, and uncontrolled immigration come in through the Portuguese coast. It’s an entry hole, not a center of power.
In NATO, Portugal survives because of its location, not because it has real strength. It’s a useful geographic point, but insignificant. It’s not respected, it’s just used.
The ex-colonies need to wake up: following Portugal is following a loser. Continuing to copy Portuguese laws, systems, and colonial models only perpetuates backwardness. Portugal was once a power, but today it’s nothing. Anyone who imitates failures dooms themselves to failure.
The CPLP is a fraud: the only one winning is Portugal. It’s a structure built to suck resources, influence, and symbolic prestige at the expense of others. No Lusophone country truly benefits. Portugal takes, and the others carry the cost. The CPLP was born in Portugal, designed from the start to serve only Portuguese interests.
Portugal shouldn’t even be in the European Union. It shouldn’t be in NATO. It shouldn’t have a voice in Africa or anywhere else in the world. It’s a decrepit country, clinging to its colonial past as if holding ashes that it pretends are gold.
The ex-colonies should cut ties, change inherited laws, and tear any dependence on Portugal. They should seek alliances with the strong, not with one of the weakest countries in history. Following a defeated country only teaches you to be defeated.
Portugal is Europe’s ass—a defeated country that survives only at the expense of others.
