The North Extremadura and Beira Baixa European Territorial Alliance (ETA) today demanded concrete commitments and binding schedules for the cross-border connection between the two regions.

The demand arises within the context of concerns regarding connection infrastructures between northern Extremadura, in Spain, and Beira Baixa, in Portugal.

Moraes to be investigated at the STF? Find out the next steps after revelations of messages with Vorcaro

Minister André Mendonça, of the STF, sent to the PGR the new elements gathered by the Federal Police regarding the alleged relationship between Alexandre de Moraes and the former owner of Banco Master, Daniel Vorcaro. The material includes messages attributed to Vorcaro involving Moraes and the Attorney General of Brazil, Paulo Gonet. There is still no formal investigation against Moraes, and any potential opening of an investigation will depend on analysis by the court's plenary. Jurists consulted by CBN point out that, given the involvement of members of the court itself and the PGR, Mendonça should avoid single-handed decisions before a collective assessment.
