Petition for an Oncology Center in Beira Interior

Jornal O Interior3 September 2026 at 14:00

Magna Lourenço, municipal deputy of Covilhã, launched a petition for the creation of an Oncology Center in Beira Interior. The initiative aims to reduce inequalities in access to oncological treatments between the populations of the Interior and those of major cities.

The municipal deputy emphasizes that "having cancer should not cost more just because you live in the Interior," highlighting that oncological patients in the region face additional difficulties and extra costs to access the necessary treatments.

The petition aims to raise awareness among health authorities about the need to invest in oncological infrastructure in the Interior of the country, ensuring that patients are not penalized by their geographical location.

PS deputy says Government should not 'politically appropriate' the Eastern Variant of Évora

PS deputy for Évora, Luís Dias, considered the opening of the Eastern Variant of Évora on IP2 a "good news", but criticized the current Government for not should "politically appropriate" a work that, according to him, was decided, programmed and financed through the PRR by previous PS Governments. The infrastructure, with 12.8 kilometers and an investment of 54.9 million euros, aims to improve mobility in the region and create an alternative to traffic through the interior of the city. Luís Dias extended the same position to investments on IP8, including sections between Ferreira do Alentejo and Beja and the duplication between Relvas Verdes and Roncão, claiming for the PS the investment legacy left in Alentejo.

Algarve out of the six strategic business areas

The PS parliamentary group questioned the Government about the exclusion of the Algarve from the six major strategic business areas it intends to create in the country, asking for clarification on the criteria used for choosing the locations. Socialist deputies consider it "concerning" that the Executive announced the six areas - two in the North, two in the Centre, one in the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon and one in the interior of the Alentejo - without having made the selection criteria public. The president of NERA, Vítor Neto, expressed surprise at the region's exclusion, arguing that the economic weight of the Algarve should be taken into account. Meanwhile, deputy Cristóvão Norte guaranteed that the process "is not closed" and that the Algarve should think about its own strategy for a potential business area based on transformative industry, diversifying the economic base beyond tourism.
