Cloudflare CEO Slams Portugal’s Bureaucracy, Warns of Possible Exit

Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince didn’t hold back in a recent tweet, blasting Portugal’s worsening business climate. According to him, things have gone downhill since the company began investing in the country. Frustrated with growing bureaucracy and lack of government follow-through, he warned that if the trend continues, Cloudflare may pull back entirely.

Prince even advised other tech companies to think twice before setting up shop in Portugal—unless they get strong guarantees from the government. The blunt message sparked debate, adding fuel to ongoing concerns about red tape and slow-moving systems that could be stalling the country's tech ambitions.
