Azores approve three million euro support for farmers, one month after announcement

SAPO Notícias30 August 2026 at 18:15

The Government of the Azores approved three million euros in support for farmers in the region, in a decision made approximately one month after the initial announcement of these agricultural support measures.

The financial resources are intended to mitigate the increase in production factor costs, mainly covering fuel and fertilizer costs, which have significantly affected agricultural activity in the region.

This measure comes in the context of worsening economic conditions for Azorean farmers, who face growing pressures on the operational costs of their farms.

With this financial support, the regional executive intends to mitigate the effects of increased production costs in the Azorean agricultural sector, providing some financial relief to producers in the region.

Ramiro retired with 43 years of contributions: "They penalized me 24% on my pension, that's 53,900 euros over 11 years"

A Spaniard named Ramiro de Heras retired with 43 years of contributions and denounces having suffered a 24% penalty on his pension, which, according to his calculations, results in an accumulated loss of approximately 53,900 euros over 11 years. Spanish legislation applies reduction coefficients to those who retire before the ordinary age, even with long contributory careers, and this reduction accompanies the pension indefinitely. Although Congress approved a motion in November 2025 to exempt from penalties those with at least 40 years of contributions, the law was not changed. The association ASJUBI40 has been running simulations to demonstrate the financial impact of these reductions. In Portugal, there is also no automatic elimination of cuts for those with more than 40 years of contributions, although there is a specific regime for very long careers that allows retirement without penalty from age 60 for those with at least 48 civil years of contributions.
