Porto votes to award 4.9 million for towing services

Observador4 September 2026 at 16:21

The Porto City Council voted to award 4.9 million euros for towing services. The amount is intended for the contract for the removal and transport of vehicles from public roads.

Only one company submitted a bid for the public tender launched by the Porto municipality. This was the only application received for the service.

The current contract, which is about to end, records an average of 1,272 tows per month, a number covering the period between 2023 and 2025. The existing service ends in December.

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.

The environmentalist association argued that climate change, international conflicts, and the predicted reduction in essential crop production could worsen food insecurity in the Region, calling for a greater investment in regional agricultural production as a way to mitigate these risks.

Interview: 'There is no longer a parallel State, the State is part of crime,' says Monica Benicio; watch

Monica Benício, PSOL councilwoman in Rio de Janeiro and widow of Marielle Franco, gives an interview this week to GLOBO as part of the series of conversations with candidates for the Federal Senate for the state. She claims the second vote of the left, defends the re-election of President Lula, but acknowledges that PSOL failed to integrate its candidacy into the PT's majoritarian coalition, which supports Eduardo Paes (PSD) for mayor. Benício explains that politics involves agreements and alliances, but that this does not prevent her from defending her principles. She also addresses personal issues and the importance of continuing Marielle Franco's legacy, in addition to commenting on Brazil's experience with far-right governments.
