In Portugal, the healthcare system is often ranked among Europe’s best. Yet, people with chronic illnesses like fibromyalgia, severe spinal conditions, or debilitating mental health struggles are frequently dismissed, ignored, or laughed at by medical professionals. Patients wait indefinitely for support, face bureaucratic neglect, and sometimes are even charged fees they cannot afford. Meanwhile, the same system offers free and timely support to asylum seekers and undocumented migrants arriving in Portugal. Chronic pain, mental health struggles, and bureaucratic neglect shouldn’t be worse than being a newcomer, yet for thousands of locals, it is. Why are Native Portuguese patients ignored and left to suffer?

What does this say about how Portugal values survivors?
Citizens are becoming more politically disillusioned. The very systems that were built to support them are now stretched thin, leaving locals to struggle for the basics. At the same time, however, migrants—whether refugees or even those arriving illegally—are being welcomed with open arms. Housing, financial support, healthcare, and even legal protections are granted to them upon arrival. Are governments in Europe sacrificing its own people to secure power?
There's something deeply broken when people demand empathy for one group while justifying hatred toward another. It's not justice to replace one vilified people with another. It's 1930s Europe wearing the mask of social justice. Today's climate is eerily familiar. And if we're not brave enough to call it what it is, we're fooling ourselves into thinking we're better than the past-when in reality, we're heading right back into it.Have we forgotten how to past became real? Is history repeating itself under the banner of activism?
