Setúbal prepares new management model for the pier at Portinho da Arrábida

SAPO Notícias29 August 2026 at 09:00

The Setúbal Municipal Council is preparing a new management model for the pier at Portinho da Arrábida. This new model aims to regulate the use of the available mooring spaces in that port infrastructure.

The municipality intends to implement this new model through a public tender, which suggests an openness to the participation of external entities in the management of the infrastructure.

The decision comes in the context of a need for better organization and possibly greater transparency in how the pier is managed and used.

Portinho da Arrábida is a port area located in the municipality of Setúbal, on the Alentejo coast, known for its natural and tourist value.

The country of deaf ears | By José Figueiredo Santos

This opinion article analyzes the letter from the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, addressed to the Portuguese Parliament regarding the bills from PSD, Chega and CDS on gender identity, which propose reintroducing medical requirements for changing name and gender in civil registration. The author satirizes the tendency of political power to legislate on people's lives without hearing them, comparing the bureaucratic process to an administration that transforms people into categories and requires certificates to prove one's own identity. He argues that disagreeing requires responding to the argument, not attacking the messenger, and that Portugal should honor the international commitments it signed in matters of human rights.
