The sheriff who could have the right's silver bullet for Belém

Observador1 September 2026 at 00:22

The PSD faces the need to find a viable candidate to run for the Lisbon City Council in 2031, in a scenario where António Seguro emerges as a potential opponent. Carlos Moedas, current or former mayor, is being pointed out as one of the figures who could unite the non-socialist space for this contest.

Moedas' positions on security and immigration are cited as factors that could contribute to his eventual candidacy. To these issues, a liberal inclination is added that could help consolidate support among different sectors of the center-right.

The article suggests that Moedas could serve as a connecting element between different political currents within the non-socialist spectrum, acting as "cement" for a political space that needs to unite around a strong candidacy.

Alcolumbre files Pacheco indication to TCU and should schedule vote for this Tuesday

The president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre, filed on Monday night the indication of senator Rodrigo Pacheco for a vacancy at the Court of Accounts of the Union. The vote on the legislative decree project should occur this Tuesday, following an accelerated process that bypasses committees. The vacancy was opened after the early retirement of minister Bruno Dantas, who left the position to work in the private sector. The indication is under the Senate's purview, and the Palace of the Presidency is expected to take a favorable position. The TCU is composed of nine ministers, three indicated by the Senate, three by the Chamber and three by the Presidency of the Republic.

The Law for the Poor

The article analyzes the application of the Funchal Municipal Solid Waste Regulation, which fines impoverished people (between €25 and €250) for rummaging through trash to collect packaging from the "Volta" system (recoverable deposit). The author criticizes the speed with which the law is applied to the poorest, in contrast to the slowness and impunity regarding white-collar crime, tax fraud, and corruption, questioning the sensitivity of a system that punishes the survival of the vulnerable without resolving the causes of poverty.

Agora só temos execução a 100% no PRR, limpas as falhas.Photo by The Humantra on Pexels

Now we only have 100% execution in the PRR, with the flaws cleared.

The article criticizes the claim of 100% execution of the PRR (Recovery and Resilience Plan) in Portugal, arguing that it is "fake news". According to the text, about 2,000 million euros in works and investments planned in the PRR did not meet the European deadlines, having been removed through "reprogramming of targets and investments". The eliminated projects included public housing, dams, hospitals, and other complex infrastructure. The value was transferred to the State Budget, Portugal 2030, or EIB financing. The article concludes that the "success" of 100% execution is an "accounting illusion" — the original targets were reduced to fit the deadlines, and what wasn't ready in time is now paid by taxpayers instead of being funded as a grant by the European Union.
