The variant of the Itinerário Principal 2 in Évora opened to traffic, representing a link long desired in the Alentejo region. The infrastructure fundamentally aims to divert heavy traffic from the center of the city of Évora. Thousands of heavy vehicles will thus stop crossing the city, relieving urban traffic. This work responds to an old need of the region and the city.

Luis was forced to retire at 61 and lost 24% of his pension: "45 years of service and I live this injustice"

Luis Ortiga, a 61-year-old Spaniard, saw his pension reduced by 24% after being forced to retire early involuntarily, despite having contributed for more than 45 years to the Spanish Social Security, having started working at the age of 14. The permanent reduction results from the reduction coefficients applied to involuntary early retirement in Spain, which can reach 30% for shorter contributory careers. Luis advocates for the creation of a specific regime for workers with particularly long careers, comparing his situation to that of professionals in arduous professions. The article also compares the retirement systems of Spain and Portugal, noting that in Portugal, those who have at least 46 years of contributions or started contributing before the age of 17 can retire without penalties at age 60.
