30 August: International Day of Victims of Enforced Disappearances

Funchal Notícias30 August 2026 at 11:24

August 30th marks the annual International Day of Victims of Enforced Disappearances, a date that aims to draw attention to one of the most serious human rights violations.

This commemoration alerts to the phenomenon of enforced disappearances of people, which occur through detention, abduction or deprivation of liberty.

Enforced disappearances can be carried out by state agents or by groups acting with the authorization, support or consent of the state.

This date thus serves as an instrument of awareness for a reality that violates the fundamental rights of the affected individuals and their families.

Torrevieja Salt Lake: Looks Like a Scene from the "Barbie" Movie, But It's Very Real (and It's Right Next to Portugal)

The Salt Lake of Torrevieja, in Alicante, Spain, transforms into a vibrant pink setting during summer, particularly between August and September, due to a natural phenomenon involving Dunaliella salina microalgae and bacteria that produce carotenoids under conditions of high salinity and evaporation. The phenomenon, which has even attracted NASA's attention, is part of the Natural Park of the Lagunas de La Mata y Torrevieja, where salt pans managed by the Unión Salinera de España remain active. Visits are free along the trails and viewpoints, with guided train tours available for €12 for adults. From Portugal, there are direct flights to Alicante from €51 from Lisbon and €98 from Porto.

This opinion article from the Jornal do Algarve presents a cynical reflection on the language used in politics and sports, comparing how expressions like "strategic surprises and offensive posture," used by Iran regarding the United States, could easily be applied to football. The author notes how the discourse of footballers and politicians is frequently empty and permissive of multiple interpretations. In a second part, it addresses the issue of plastic recycling in Portugal, criticizing those who demand more recycling without confronting the practical problems of overflowing bins and collection machines at supermarkets, in a clearly ironic tone about the contradiction between demands and practices.
