Portal O Dia1 September 2026 at 13:00

Brazil's Gross Domestic Product grew 0.5% in the second quarter of 2026, according to data released by IBGE. The advance represents the continuation of the country's economic recovery in the previous months.

The Brazilian economy accumulated growth of 1.9% in the first half of the year, considering the two quarters combined. The positive result reflects a trajectory of increase over the period.

The sectors that contributed most to growth were agriculture and services. These two segments were the main drivers of GDP growth during the analyzed period.

The second quarter result shows that Brazilian economic activity continues on a positive trajectory, with growth sustained by the same sectors that had already driven the increase at the beginning of the year.

The return is not a disease

Every year, around this time, the press publishes similar pieces with small variations on how to survive "post-vacation syndrome," taking advantage of the "reset effect" and turning September into a productivity opportunity.

Call Rafael Macedo and end the fashion show.

The article addresses the persistent failures at SESARAM, Madeira's regional health service, previously denounced by Rafael Macedo, referring to the loss of "sovereignty" of the public service and the growing dependence on the private sector. The text highlights concrete problems such as the lack of diagnostic technicians that leaves equipment idle at units in Porto Santo, Machico, São Vicente, and Calheta, delays in urgent and oncological exams, and the inability to retain professionals in a competitive market where private health offers better conditions. The article criticizes SESARAM's response based on announcements of competitions that may go unfilled, comparing this chronic situation to other government failures such as LIDL and the ferry, and concludes that the mistreatment of professionals results in a lack of services.
