As a portuguese, while this looks good on paper, it won't contribute whatsoever to our current situation.
We're a country where the nationals earn like shit - probably one of the worst avg and median incomes in whole EU - and are choked to the brink of passing out by high taxes.
Our political class is exchanging our young and bright over to foreign pensioners, and now apparently, foreign remote workers.
Just so you understand the status quo: people were being pushed out of big cities for years, and now with remote work even more people are being pushed out of medium sized cities in the interior, because everyone wants to live in the country side or by the shore.
We're fucked in every direction by high rents, high real-estate, high taxes, high energy costs, yet our incomes remain shit.
In 20 years you'll probably see the news headline:
"Workers in Portugal now must work until the age of 75 so they could see a healthier work-life balance under new labor laws!"
