Coimbra: city council maintains tax values for 2027

Observador7 September 2026 at 20:05

The Coimbra City Council decided to maintain the tax values for 2027, following the same values practiced in 2026. This decision was approved with the favorable votes of the coalition Avançar Coimbra.

The former council member of Chega also voted in favor of maintaining the fiscal values. On the other hand, four of the five members of the coalition Juntos Somos Coimbra chose to abstain from the vote.

This decision means that Coimbra taxpayers will not face municipal tax increases next year, with fiscal rates remaining unchanged compared to the current year.

Kallas reverses course and cancels EU Defense working group that included Gomes Cravinho

The EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas, cancelled a high-level defense working group that was set to be launched today and included former Portuguese minister João Gomes Cravinho, after several member states considered the initiative untimely. The group was to be led by former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen and composed of former leaders such as France's Florence Parly, Britain's Ben Wallace, Ukraine's Andriy Zagorodnyuk, and Estonia's Juri Luik. The objective was to address gaps in Europe's conventional military capabilities and evaluate the response to Russian hybrid attacks. The cancellation comes at a time when the effectiveness of the European External Action Service and the High Representative position is being questioned, with France and Germany proposing a strengthening of the role's powers.
