Pergaminhoflash asks competition jury for newspaper distribution to review data

Público29 August 2026 at 15:47

The international public tender launched by the Government in the summer aims to guarantee the daily distribution of paper newspapers in Portuguese low-density territories for a period of three years. The total value of the tender is three million euros.

The company Pergaminhoflash requested that the competition jury reverse the decision regarding the data considered in the evaluation of the proposals. The company expressed dissatisfaction with how the evaluation was conducted.

The tender was launched as an international public procurement procedure, meaning companies from any country could submit proposals to provide the distribution service.

The process is currently awaiting the jury's response to the request submitted by Pergaminhoflash for the review of the data used in the evaluation of the competing proposals.

Trump closes the immigration tap and American fast food begins to feel the lack of customers

The restrictive immigration policies adopted in the United States are deeply affecting the fast food industry, with customer traffic declining in almost every month of 2025 and 2026. According to the Financial Times and the Brookings Institution, net immigration was negative for the first time in at least half a century, with nearly three million people leaving the country. This data is particularly relevant for the sector since 35% of Hispanics in the US consume fast food daily. Companies like McDonald's, Wendy's and Subway have already started adjusting their expansion plans, with the burger chain slowing new openings and the other two closing hundreds of establishments. Jack in the Box and Wingstop also attributed the sales decline to reduced consumption among Latino customers, suggesting that part of the industry may have bet on population growth that is no longer occurring.
