  • I don’t disagree with the sentiment of your comment, but I feel it lacks some nuance.
    First of all, where are those empty houses located? A lot of the pressure is in larger urban areas: Lisboa, Porto, Braga, Coimbra. If the houses are away from an urban centre, they might as well not exist.
    Portugal also has a huge emigrant community, and it’s common for emigrants to have a house back in the home country, usually in more rural areas, but not always. These houses are a little retirement plan, and tend to stay unoccupied for months or years, only used when that owner goes to Portugal on holidays, or when/if they decide to return.

    Jokes aside, what was the motive here? She was pretty young for a VP, so it sounds like she was well liked/connected. In other cases of “mysterious window affliction” the victims were known critics of the regime.
    Maybe it was an accident, she could be very drunk. Or a crime – she had a friend over, maybe there was a fight?
    One thing is clear, Russian windows should come with a warning label ☠️
