Unemployment in the Algarve is higher than elsewhere in Portugal. Nonetheless, beach bar and hotel owners are still looking for workers at the moment for the peak season. Farmers further inland are likewise facing a shortage of workers for the harvest -- and say they are only coping thanks to seasonal workers from Eastern Europe. Despite painful cuts in government benefits, many unemployed people still prefer to live on welfare. A new cut was recently rejected by the constitutional court in addition to other austerity measures. Portuguese people say the government has applied the brakes too harshly.

After watching 6 or 7 videos made by DW I'm convinced this is a channel that has a clear bias against Portugal and the south of Europe in general, one can count many inaccuracies in their poorly made video content.

This propaganda is design to make the Portuguese people look bad. period. Portuguese are very hardworking people. This channel should be more professional and ethic since this kind of journalistic "work" is against all the ethic rules of journalism.
