Iceland's 'no' and a summer soap opera with Luís Neves. See this week's ratings

Jornal Económico4 September 2026 at 10:27

The article presents this week's ratings for various political and sports officials. Manuel Castro Almeida, Minister of Economy and Territorial Cohesion, receives an A- for meeting the execution deadlines of the PRR (Recovery and Resilience Plan), following reprogramming and rule adaptations. Reinaldo Teixeira, president of Liga Portugal, also receives an A-, with emphasis on the export capacity of the Portuguese championship and the careful management of the accounts, which are balanced.

Iceland rejected, by referendum, resuming negotiations for accession to the European Union, even faced with Russian pressure and American interest. Kristrún Frostadóttir, Iceland's prime minister, receives a B-, with the analysis noting that both the head of Government and Brussels come out harmed by this result.

Luís Neves, Minister of Internal Administration, receives the worst rating, a C-. The article describes him as the protagonist of a "summer political soap opera" that has lost value and become a "toxic asset" that constrains political activity, essentially due to his management of the PJ (Judicial Police).

Carles Puigdem faces an autumn with an even lower public profile than in recent months, waiting to know if the amnesty law will be applied to him and if he can finally return to Catalonia. A member of the Junts leadership explains that the expresident will not make any relevant move until he knows the decision on the amnesty. Puigdem's last public appearance was in January in Perpinyà, and since then he has only spoken through social media, not always on strictly political current affairs. Party sources indicate that Puigdem does not want his personal situation to be "handled".
