Not a terrible deal.

Those pensioners aren't the ones who will pay Social Security in the future mate. Portuguese politicians are digging a hole that we won't be able to recover from - just so you know the age of retirement keeps increasing with no end in sight.

It should be the other way around.

Yes, fine if those pensioners move to Portugal permanently. If they're just living there during the summer then the place is dead for the rest of the year, and locals are priced out of staying there.

presumably the "young and bright" that are moving out of portugal aren't doing so they can be unemployed in another country. if anything they're retaining the unemployed/unemployable young adults but offloading the employable young adults.
