A new vessel docks in Cartagena with fifty immigrants

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General29 August 2026 at 11:12

A new vessel arrived on the coast of Calblanque, in Cartagena, around 10:30 a.m., carrying about five dozen immigrants. This is another arrival of immigrants to the Region of Murcia via the Spanish coast.

The location and method used were identical to those of three days ago, when a similar vessel arrived in the same area, between Cala Reona and Calblanque beach, in Cartagena.

According to the article, that earlier vessel arrived early in the morning, it was a so-called "patera-taxi," and quickly retreated to the open sea after arrival.

The article does not provide additional information about the identity of the immigrants, their origins, or whether there were any arrests by the authorities.

Portugal delivers plan to restore nature to Brussels. Now the hardest part begins

Portugal has delivered to the European Commission its National Nature Restoration Plan, a document with 386 measures covering terrestrial, coastal, marine, freshwater, urban areas, rivers, floodplains, and agricultural and forest systems. The plan, coordinated by ICNF with the participation of the Autonomous Regions, more than 200 researchers and a public consultation that received 184 contributions, aims to reverse ecosystem degradation and recover habitats and species, including pollinators. The Commission will have six months to analyze the proposal, followed by another semester for Portugal to incorporate observations and present the final version, with conclusion expected by August 2027. Minister Maria da Graça Carvalho argued that restoration must be a "national movement" involving the State, municipalities, autonomous regions, science, businesses and civil society. The real challenge will be financing — Portugal advocates for a European Nature Restoration Fund and admits resorting to nature credit markets and private investment — and the capacity to implement measures on the ground, in vulnerable territories such as Serra da Estrela, Gerês or the Guadiana Valley, confronted with fires, drought, urban pressure and climate change.

The piece, considered one of the city's symbols and frequently photographed by visitors and residents as a memento of Ria Formosa, has now returned with greater security, representing an important contribution to the artistic heritage of Faro. The chronicle compares the sculpture to one existing at the entrance of Copenhagen, capital of Denmark.
