Francisco Balsemão, who was a journalist, politician and senator, will have a street named in his honor in Cascais starting from Tuesday. The ceremony marks the public recognition of his contributions throughout his life.

Maria João Avillez's opinion column reflects on Balsemão's career, highlighting that he was a journalist, politician and worker. The author emphasizes that he practiced with pleasure what he calls the "cult of life."

Avillez questions how many people can boast of having lived the same way, leaving an invitation to reflect on Balsemão's example of life.

Can police use seized cars, televisions, and even sofas? This is what the law says

In Portugal, the law allows police to use seized assets in the context of criminal investigations, such as cars, televisions, and even sofas, for operational purposes. The legislation, in force since 2007 through Decree-Law No. 11/2007, establishes that these assets can only be used through a "declaration of operational utility" and when there is a likelihood that they will be declared forfeited to the State. The controversy arose when it was revealed that the current Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves, uses a Volkswagen Golf GTD seized from Rúben Oliveira, known as Xuxas, in a drug trafficking case still pending before the Court of Appeal. Luís Neves defended that, as director of the PJ, he declared over 800 vehicles and other seized assets operationally useful.
