Ex-president of Gaia Eduardo Vítor Rodrigues acquitted of prevarication and embezzlement

Expresso4 September 2026 at 16:11

The former president of the Municipal Council of Vila do Conde Eduardo Vítor Rodrigues was acquitted of the crimes of prevarication and embezzlement. This acquittal comes in a judicial process distinct from another previous case.

Eduardo Vítor Rodrigues led the municipality of Vila do Conde for 12 years, having been mayor during this extended period before leaving the position.

In June 2025, the former mayor resigned from the position of council president. This resignation occurred after he had been convicted of loss of mandate for having used, personally, an electric vehicle belonging to the municipality.

The case that led to his previous conviction and consequent loss of mandate was related to the improper use of a municipal electric vehicle for personal purposes, an infraction distinct from the process for which he has now been acquitted.

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.

Only 30 days remain until the next Brazilian elections, which take place amid the greatest institutional crisis of the New Republic. The three branches of government are affected by an unprecedented crisis of confidence, especially the Supreme Federal Court. Brazilians will choose a president, governors, senators, and federal deputies in a context where electoral programs compete for (and lose) the population's attention in the face of the erosion of ethical and moral values in public institutions.
