President of the Legislative Assembly advocates that affirmation of the Azores should be a "national purpose"

jornalacores9.pt4 September 2026 at 13:10

The president of the Legislative Assembly of the Azores, Luís Garcia, defended that the Azores archipelago is Portugal's "greatest geostrategic and geopolitical asset." This statement was made within the context of a speech in which he sought to highlight the strategic importance of the region.

Luís Garcia emphasized that the geographical location of the Azores gives the region a fundamental role for the country, making it an essential element in Portugal's geostrategic equation.

The president of the Legislative Assembly considered that the affirmation and enhancement of the Azores should constitute a "national purpose," meaning a priority that goes beyond regional interests and should be assumed as a strategic objective for Portugal as a whole.

This position arises in the context of debates about the role of autonomous regions in Portugal's national and international strategy.

The success of the far-right leader shakes Australia

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.
