A recent commentary in Portugal draws parallels between users of the SNS (National Health Service), Minister José Luís Carneiro, and a group of artists, framing them as “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.” The author criticizes what they perceive as an echo chamber within the Portuguese art scene, alleging these artists only associate with those who share their viewpoints. This observation is linked to their refusal to support Jerry Seinfeld's recent visit to Portugal. Simultaneously, the piece takes aim at Minister Carneiro, accusing him of historical revisionism. The article suggests a common thread of inflexible ideology links these seemingly disparate elements – the patience of healthcare users, the minister's actions, and the artists’ selective engagement. It portrays a fractured landscape of public opinion and artistic preference within Portugal.
