President of Cultural Heritage says maintenance of renovated spaces is a future challenge

Diário de Leiria30 August 2026 at 14:00

The president of Cultural Heritage, João Soalheiro, considered that the maintenance of cultural spaces that have been subject to requalification interventions constitutes one of the main future challenges for the sector.

According to João Soalheiro, the change in attitude regarding heritage preservation should be one of the most important effects of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) in the domain of culture.

The official highlighted that the execution of requalification works is only part of the process, and it is necessary to ensure that renovated spaces are adequately conserved after the completion of projects.

This intervention comes in the context of the discussion about the impact of European funds on the valorization of Portuguese cultural heritage and the challenges that arise after the completion of interventions financed by the PRR.

PS leader accuses Montenegro of trying to whitewash chaos in national exams (W/AUDIO)

The PS leader, José Luís Carneiro, accused Prime Minister Luís Montenegro of whitewashing "the chaos in exams" at the national secondary level and of "being afraid of the Portuguese people," during a visit to the August Fair in Grândola. Carneiro criticized Montenegro for substituting himself for the Minister of Education to "affirm a reality that doesn't exist," noting that the percentage of candidates who entered higher education decreased compared to previous years. The socialist leader also considered that the prime minister should have thanked the PS for the financing and professional training programs left behind, referring to the situation as a "cuckoo" attitude that takes advantage of others' work. When questioned about Chega's motion of censure, Carneiro did not respond directly, but recalled that the PS awaits responses from the Government on education until September, threatening to proceed with an inquiry committee if he does not obtain responses.
