Bagacina removed from Mata das Feiticeiras used in public works in the Region

Açoriano Oriental3 September 2026 at 10:28

The Regional Government of the Azores estimated that 1 million cubic meters of bagacina have been removed from Mata das Feiticeiras, located in the municipality of Lagoa, on the island of São Miguel. This material is being used in public works in the Region.

The site from which the material is being extracted is precisely the one where the new Prison Establishment of Ponta Delgada is planned to be built. The use of bagacina removed from this land comes as part of the utilization of available resources in the area designated for the project.

Mata das Feiticeiras thus serves as a source of raw material for various public contracts in the Azores, allowing the optimization of natural resources available on the very land where the construction of the prison establishment will take place.

PSP commander calls for more police in Lisbon and "less alarmist speeches"

The commander of the Lisbon Metropolitan Command (Cometlis) of the PSP, Luís Elias, advocated on Thursday for a reinforcement of police officers for the largest command in the country, which covers nine municipalities and approximately three million people, warning that the current force of six thousand police officers is the "minimum" necessary. In an interview with the Notícias ao Minuto agency, the chief superintendent also called for "less alarmist speeches" about security, arguing that crime in the Cometlis area only increased 2.9% in the first eight months of the year, while violent and serious crime decreased 0.4%. Luís Elias emphasized that security must be done in "co-production" with municipalities and that the Lisbon City Council should be part of the solution, not contributing to public alarmism.
