First Government of the Azores generated great expectation and sought to affirm autonomy

jornalacores9.pt6 September 2026 at 10:30

The first Regional Government of the Azores took office 50 years ago with great expectation on the part of the population, according to former president Mota Amaral. The novelty of the experience and the will to affirm autonomy were the main factors that explained this popular expectation at the time of the inauguration of the First Regional Government. The central objective of regional governance at that time was precisely to affirm the autonomy of the Azores, which had recently been achieved. The 50th anniversary of the first Regional Government is being commemorado, bringing back memories of that historic moment for the archipelago.

Apple and Google Comply with Donald Trump's Request and Change Lake Ontario to Lake America

Apple and Google altered the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America" on their digital maps, at the request of President Donald Trump, but only for users in the United States, while users in Canada continue to see the original name. The change was made following an executive order signed by Trump on August 27, which came in the context of the trade dispute between the United States and Canada, which led to the imposition of mutual high tariffs. The executive order argues that the United States is the main protector of the Great Lakes, investing nearly four billion dollars in the last decade in protecting the ecosystem. Google Maps confirmed that it will follow the practice of using names from the United States Geographic Names Information System, while other services such as MapQuest refused to make the change. Apple and Google had previously also changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.
