“The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change, simply by changing their attitude.” (Oprah Winfrey)

“The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change, simply by changing their attitude.” (Oprah Winfrey) The ideological fundamentalism of which “partisanship and clubism” are examples not to be remembered, is perhaps the “most obvious cause” of the Portuguese and Portugal not evolving in a positive way – in general we never accept the opinion of others, other than of “our group” - and this prevents us from knowing reality and even alternative changes to improve things, This book about “Dossier TAP resisting privatizations” is a book that I consider excellent and pedagogical, and that helps us a lot to understand what happened in the so-called “parliamentary commission of inquiry into the events at TAP. From now on I want to make it very clear that I have never been or am aligned with the PCP, but I purchased the book that I consider to be of public interest to the Portuguese. The PCP, from which I am separated from many different ideas, is a very institutional party that, at times, serves the public cause. This is the case with the book mentioned here. (read with an open mind and the appropriate socio-political framework and context) That's why I've always had the full conviction and foundation that the problem of the public business sector must be attributed to the mismanagement of companies, and to a “creative system of complicities” that allows "the continuity of individuals without any capacity or knowledge" in disguise. of administrators, (with a few exceptions) which has led to a complete lack of accountability, labor disorganization and de-hierarchization of the organizational structure and to all-too-known “complicities” between “pressure groups” (trade unionists, “careerists”, and “others” who constitute a “bloc of established interests” that has been proliferating in this sector for years, and which had its “height” in the governments of Durão/Santana Lopes and full continuity in the misgovernment of Passos Coelho that to this day this Government has not managed to reverse - we cannot forget that it is the lack of effectiveness and efficiency in political action and management of “public things” that leads to a progressive lack of credibility in policies and government action. Or in the wisdom of the “knowledge” of the economist Doctor Professor Silva Lopes, in one of his famous interventions “There is a danger of Portuguese economic life being dominated by interest groups that oppose the replaceable transformations of pinching their privileges.” There are many of these interest groups that we should be concerned about, particularly in the public transport sector, including some of the most powerful unions in the public sector” and after all this time, nothing seems to have changed, which leads me to add that, Perhaps “the State's biggest deficit is not of a budgetary nature. It's credibility. It's about respectability. Institutions stopped showing respect. And people stopped believing in those who lead them.” And finally, I learned that making mistakes is human. When you make a mistake, you accept the mistake, you learn, you do better next time. “The best feeling in the world comes when we start to feel good again after feeling horrible.” (Oprah Winfrey)
