Fevereiro 2023 - Os deputados finalmente perceberam que o problema é complicado, europeu, e não adianta alterar a Constituição.
Estamos assim em condições de nos juntarmos ao debate que acontece um pouco por toda a UE desde 2016.

At the moment I have to buy an extra subscription for a Prime Video Channel to be able to watch all the old episodes. But that makes me dependent on Amazon, and I d … ⌘ Read more
