Navy armored vehicles are only 36% of the 133 million euro program

The Portuguese Navy has only 36% of the armored vehicles planned under the SAFE program, which represents a total investment of 133 million euros in partnership with Spain. The remaining value of the contract covered systems, equipment, as well as the operation and sustainment of the fleet.

The SAFE program aims to modernize the Navy's land capabilities through the acquisition of armored vehicles. The partnership with Spain allows for sharing costs and technology between the two countries.

The 133 million euro investment is intended to ensure the operational capability of naval forces in land operations. Fleet sustainment refers to the continuous maintenance and logistical support of the vehicles.

The article does not specify how many armored vehicles were actually acquired or which models are involved in the program. The 36% figure indicates that the armored component represents only a fraction of the program's total investment.

The future cannot be built without the young

Portugal faces a labor contradiction where companies complain about a lack of workers while youth unemployment remains at 18.4% for the 16 to 24 age group, far above the national average of 5.6%. The article argues that young people are essential for the renewal of organizations and intergenerational knowledge transmission, but warns that attracting them is not enough — they need fair salaries, career progression prospects, and stability. With Eurostat projections indicating a 21% reduction in the working-age population by 2050, the country cannot afford to waste talent. The training of young people is presented as an investment, not a cost, with greater collaboration needed between professional associations, companies, and educational institutions to inform students about existing opportunities and retain the professionals Portugal needs.
