UNITA leader accuses regime of intensifying political intolerance in Angola

Correio da Manhã4 September 2026 at 19:56

The leader of UNITA, the main opposition party in Angola, accused the regime of intensifying political intolerance in the country. Adalberto da Costa Júnior harshly criticized the government's actions against peaceful demonstrations.

Costa Júnior highlighted what he called the "irrational brutality" of the Angolan National Police in handling peaceful demonstrations. The accusations come in a context of growing political tension between the ruling party and the opposition.

The episode is part of a series of confrontations between security forces and opposition parties in Angola. UNITA has been one of the most critical voices regarding how the government deals with political dissent.

No specific details were provided about which demonstrations or concrete incidents prompted the UNITA leader's statements. The party continues to demand greater respect for civil rights and freedom of expression in Angola.

Amid applause and protests, Giorgia Meloni celebrates record longevity in power and defends 'stability' as her greatest achievement

Giorgia Meloni celebrated in Bari, on the shores of the Adriatic Sea, her record longevity in power as Prime Minister of Italy, completing 1,413 days at the helm of government — the longest tenure since the end of World War II, surpassing Silvio Berlusconi's second term (2001-2005). The event was marked both by applause from supporters and by protests in the streets. The premier defined "stability" as "our first great reform," stating that Italy "has ceased to be Europe's hot topic," and highlighted that the judgment of her government will come from Italians who still support her.

Public competition for institutional advertising in Famalicão taken to ERC for excluding one of the municipality's radio stations

The company Editave Multimédia, owner of Fama Rádio, Famatv and the digital newspaper Opinião Pública, filed a formal complaint with ERC against the Municipality of Vila Nova de Famalicão, accusing the council of designing a 210 thousand euro public tender for the acquisition of advertising broadcasting services with criteria that favor one local radio operator to the detriment of another. The company claims that the requirement of a printed newspaper as an eliminatory criterion in the audiovisual lot creates a "de facto monopoly," excluding Fama Rádio and Famatv, which have had no printed edition for about six months. Editave speaks of a "two-step market blockade": first, the council allegedly created a printed municipal bulletin that harmed the commercial viability of independent newspapers, and then uses this absence as a legal pretext to exclude those media from the tender. The company asked ERC for urgent intervention and requested that the tender jury change the rules, invoking violation of principles of the Public Procurement Code, including technological neutrality.

Carneiro again accuses Government of "making money" from fuel price increases

The PS leader, José Luís Carneiro, again accused the Government of "making money" from fuel price increases, revealing that he submitted to Parliament a proposal to reduce VAT on fuels and essential foods — for the third time already, rejected by AD, IL and Chega. Carneiro stated that the Executive profits nine cents per liter of diesel and six cents per liter of gasoline, having accumulated 1,048 million euros in fuel taxes between 2024 and 2025, and an additional 1,070 million in VAT revenue due to inflation. The PCP, through Paulo Raimundo, considered the fuel discount increase announced by the Government insufficient, accusing it of not targeting the profits of large companies like Galp and EDP.
