>So how is this democracy?

It is democracy, albeit underdeveloped. In developed 'democracies' no matter who wins elections
policy remains the same. In this case continuation of the same policy (shut up & bleed) cannot be guaranteed so there you go;
Democracy can be suspended temporarily. Under excuse of preserving it I guess.

Me think; amid these refugee crises in Europe, nobody has time and energy (let alone money) for another Greek drama in Portugal,
so some people in Portugal were probably warned to comply or else... No Greek drama (with ambiguous end) for them, but more likely
Dante's kind of stuff coming their way.

This is time of giant motions globally, few dead democracies/economies here and there makes no difference.
