Coimbra Cedes Buildings to Miguel Torga Institute

Observador7 September 2026 at 20:28

The Coimbra City Council unanimously approved the proposal to transfer two buildings located in the city center to the Miguel Torga Institute. The vote took place this Monday.

The opposition councilors chose to leave during the vote, thus not participating in the decision. The Miguel Torga Institute is a cultural and scientific institution dedicated to the work and memory of the Portuguese writer Miguel Torga.

The transfer of the buildings is likely intended to strengthen the institute's activity in the city, allowing it to have new spaces for its activities. Coimbra, as a historic and university city, hosts various cultural institutions that contribute to the revitalization of the city center area.

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.
