Turn, Turn Back

Observador30 August 2026 at 00:03

The article addresses the theme "Turn, turn back," suggesting a discussion about an instrument that was the subject of reconsideration or return.

The text states that the instrument in question works correctly, and that its effectiveness has never been in question.

The real problem, according to the article, does not lie in the instrument itself, but rather in the confusion between its theoretical effectiveness and the quality of its practical implementation in Portugal.

The article appears to be a critical reflection on the difference between an instrument being effective in itself and being well implemented in the Portuguese context.

Ferry Study: Mr Sousa, is DN also not profitable because you keep it open?

A critical article analyzes the economic-financial study on the viability of the ferry connection between Madeira and mainland Portugal, accusing the Sousa Group of hypocrisy for using their Diário de Notícias (which operates at a loss) to argue that the ferry is economically unviable, while protecting their monopoly on goods transport via roll-on/roll-off vessels. The text denounces that the study only consulted the Sousa Group as the shipowner, ignoring other operators, and questions data showing that 58% of residents consider the connection necessary and 84% advocate for its year-round operation. The article argues that the comparison with air transport is dishonest, since the ferry allows the transport of vehicles and cargo, and defends that the solution lies in opening the route to competition, inviting operators such as Naviera Armas to operate under a Public Service Obligation.
