It is quite cold for Portugal, but what bothers people is the lack of proper heating. Especially when working the room temperature should be between 21C and 22C. I bet this can hardly be met in any home office in Portugal.

Having a Portuguese passport and being a native Portuguese are 2 totally different things. There are 160,000 Indians in the U.K. with Portuguese passports! Plus other nationalities with Portuguese passports, now you do the maths!

How can anyone survive without heating especially when you need to work from home? This is so absurd. My family's been sick for a week and we can literally see our breaths indoors. Not decent at all.
