dnoticias.pt4 September 2026 at 10:24

The City Council of Calheta approved the increase in the value of scholarship grants for displaced students, rising from 60 to 80 euros monthly. This increase is intended for students from the municipality who attend higher education outside the Autonomous Region of Madeira.

The measure was approved at the municipal executive meeting and fulfills a commitment made by the current executive. The increase represents an addition of approximately 40 thousand euros per year in the municipality's investment for university students.

Calheta has approximately 300 students who benefit from this type of support, being one of the municipalities in Madeira with the highest number of young people attending higher education outside the region.

Pauline Hanson, leader of the Australian far right and founder of the One Nation party, threatens to break the bipartisanship that has prevailed in Australian democracy. At 73 years old and an admirer of Donald Trump, Hanson is preparing for a major electoral leap in the federal elections scheduled for 2028, with polls giving her 30% voting intention, above the Labor Party (in government) and the Coalition (liberals and conservatives), the main traditional forces. It is the first time that a third party surpasses traditional Australian parties in opinion polls.
