Azores at risk of losing €53M due to population

Observador2 September 2026 at 19:54

The Azores are at risk of losing €53 million due to the decrease in population. The demographic reduction directly affects the funds received by the region, both in VAT and in state transfers.

The Azores Secretary for Finance explained the impact of this situation to regional deputies. The threat to regional finances is directly linked to demographic weight, which determines the distribution of funds.

With fewer residents, the region receives fewer financial resources, which may compromise the capacity for investment and operation of Azorean public services.

Haddad does not comment on Lula's silence in the Master case, but defends lifting Dark Horse's secrecy

Presidential candidate Fernando Haddad (PT), on a campaign stop in Santos (SP), was questioned about President Lula's silence in the case involving Banco Master and the so-called "Dark Horse scandal," but did not comment directly. Without answering the question about Lula, Haddad defended breaking the secrecy of all processes without selectivity, including the case of Flavinho Bolsonaro and that of Daniel Vorcaro himself, one of those involved in the scandal. The PT candidate criticized the fact that only some are publicly exposed while others remain under secrecy, noting that Lula is the only presidential candidate who has not yet spoken out about the case. The article also mentions that Flavinho Bolsonaro again requested Moraes' impeachment, while Fachin opened a session at the STF without mentioning the crisis involving Alexandre de Moraes and Vorcaro.
