Off-Season

dnoticias.pt4 September 2026 at 02:00

The Regional Government went on holiday and did not return with relevant political activity. This situation occurs every year, regardless of the problems affecting Madeira, whether in the literal or figurative sense.

The President of the Regional Government is said to have set the tone for this period of absence, after his usual inflammatory statements on the island of Porto Santo. With his departure, all significant political activity disappeared.

Despite the problems that remain in the region, there were no noteworthy political initiatives during this holiday period of the Madeiran executive.

The best thing that happened in Madeira during the Regional Government's holiday period was the action of Regional Secretary Eduardo Jesus.

Opposition sees retaliation by Moraes against Mendonça after escalation of crisis at STF and revelations in Master case

The decision by Minister Alexandre de Moraes at the STF that pointed to "strong indications" of administrative improbity, abuse of authority, and crime of responsibility against his colleague André Mendonça generated criticism from the opposition, which views the measure as retaliation after the revelations in the Banco Master case. The Federal Police report with messages from banker Daniel Vorcaro exposed supposed relations between Moraes and the scheme under investigation. The Senate opposition leader, Rogério Marinho (PL-RN), stated that Moraes transformed the investigation into an instrument of "personal power" and that there is an inversion of values, since Moraes himself should provide explanations about the revealed messages, rather than using his powers against whoever is conducting the investigation.

Jorge Carvalho's Rumba

This satirical article criticizes the disorganization and lack of transparency at the Funchal City Council, led by Jorge Carvalho. Using a musical metaphor, the text denounces that essential documents, legal opinions, and explanations are missing from council meetings, yet meetings still proceed. The criticism falls especially on the chief of staff, who moved from Social Security to the council and now occupies the office, and on the apparent lack of organization that turns meetings into a "rumba" where no one knows where the necessary documents are.
