Will Autoeuropa pass unscathed through Volkswagen's severe crisis, which will lay off 100,000 people?

Expresso2 September 2026 at 06:30

Autoeuropa may not be affected by the severe crisis that Volkswagen is going through, which includes plans to lay off 100,000 people. Volkswagen's management has been in successive meetings with the unions to negotiate a deep restructuring of the group. The topic was addressed in the Expresso da Manhã program, where Paulo Baldaia spoke with Vítor Andrade, Expresso journalist specializing in the automotive industry.

The conversation focused on the consequences that this restructuring could have for the group's factories, including the possibility that Autoeuropa may remain unscathed by the ongoing restructuring process.

Lux moves on and leaves behind the team that made the magazines

The magazines Lux, Lux Woman, Lux Deco and Lux Moda e Beleza were taken over by DOTMEDIA, a company based in Portalegre, after the insolvency of Masemba, the previous operator. The approximately 20 workers from Masemba were caught by surprise by the change, since the company was declared insolvent in July with limited status, with no assets to pay debts. The new editorial team is led by Carla Barreira and Maria João Jorge, with Carlos dos Santos as administrator. Details about the transfer of the titles are still unclear, but it appears that Masemba no longer owned the brands when it closed.
