El Periódico Mediterráneo - General6 September 2026 at 07:23

The Volkswagen Group Supervisory Board unanimously approved the 'Future Plan 2030', a transformation program presented by the company's management board. The unanimous approval demonstrates internal alignment around the strategy presented for the coming years.

The plan's main objectives are to strengthen the German manufacturer's competitiveness in the global automobile market. Volkswagen seeks to secure its position against growing competition in the electric vehicle sector and new mobility technologies.

The program also aims to adapt the group's structure to the profound moment of change the automotive sector is undergoing. This transformation involves challenges related to electrification, digitization, and new consumer trends in the automobile market.

Pensioners born between these dates will be entitled to retirement without penalties in 2027 if they meet these requirements

In 2027, the normal age of access to the old-age pension in Portugal rises to 66 years and 11 months, as established in Ordinance No. 476/2025/1, which means that those born between February 1, 1960 and January 31, 1961 will reach this age during the year. To be entitled to the pension without penalties, it is necessary to meet a guarantee period of at least 15 years of contributions (or 144 months for voluntary social security). However, workers with contributory careers exceeding 40 years can benefit from reductions in the retirement age — for each year above 40, four months are subtracted. Additionally, there are specific regimes that allow early retirement without penalties for those who are at least 60 years old and have 46 to 48 years of contributory career, depending on the conditions. Social Security provides a simulator to estimate the retirement age and pension amount.

Invisible gold: How illegal cassiterite from the Amazon supplies global giants without leaving traces

An exclusive investigation by GLOBO, based on classified documents from Operation Forge of Hephaestus by the Federal Police and investigations by the Federal Public Ministry, revealed how cassiterite — ore essential for the production of microchips, cell phone screens and components for the energy transition — extracted illegally in Yanomami Indigenous Lands and in the Campos Amazônicos National Park would have fed supply chains of major global companies, including Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Walt Disney, Sony, Starbucks, Caterpillar, PepsiCo, Colgate-Palmolive, Victoria's Secret and Levi Strauss. The scheme, identified as the new frontier of organized crime in the Amazon, operates without leaving traces in the supply chain of these corporations.

Meet the story of the pioneering aircraft factory that preceded Embraer at Galeão

The history of Brazilian aviation is deeply connected to Governador Island, in Rio de Janeiro, where, in 1936, almost 90 years ago, the foundations were laid for the first national experience of aircraft manufacturing on an industrial scale in Brazil. Ponta do Galeão, which already in the 1920s housed Brazilian naval aviation, was the chosen location for the founding of the Galeão Aircraft Factory, an endeavor that allowed Brazil to master the art of designing, assembling, and overhauling aircraft at a time when the country was still taking its first steps in the sector, long before the creation of Embraer, today a global reference.

Goodbye pension? European Union only 'guarantees' pension payments until this date and new report leaves warning

The European Union's projections on Portuguese pensions only cover until 2070, not because there is a formal guarantee of payment until that date, but simply because the European report used for these projections has that time horizon. A new 607-page report, delivered to the Portuguese government in August 2026, warns that Portugal has a limited "demographic window", which should close in the mid-2040s, to implement gradual reforms to the system. The document, coordinated by Professor Jorge Miguel Bravo, proposes a public notional defined contribution scheme, occupational pension plans with automatic enrollment and changes to early retirement rules. The European Commission estimates that public spending on pensions in Portugal could rise from 12.8% of GDP in 2025 to 15.1% in 2045. The report challenges the optimistic reading of recent surpluses, presenting a consolidated view that includes the deficit of the Caixa Geral de Aposentações, and emphasizes that already granted pensions will be preserved.
