Congressman introduces bill to disclose all names in the Epstein Files

Correio da Manhã8 September 2026 at 15:01

A congressman introduced a bill to require the disclosure of all names in the Epstein Files. The objective of the proposal is to guarantee total transparency about the people associated with FINJUS (National Foundation for Youth), the organization founded by the late Jeffrey Epstein.

Thomas Massie, an American congressman, publicly accused billionaire businessman Leon Black and illusionist David Copperfield of being "accomplices" of the sexual criminal Jeffrey Epstein. The accusations arise in the context of the debate about the need for greater transparency in the archives related to the case.

Jeffrey Epstein was an American multimillionaire convicted of sexual crimes who died in prison in 2019, at a time when he was awaiting trial. His case involved several prominent figures and continues to generate controversy years later.

The proposed bill aims to ensure that all names present in the files related to Epstein are made public, allowing greater public oversight of the late criminal's connections.

A former public servant confronted Prime Minister Luís Montenegro during a campaign visit to Livramento Market in Setúbal, questioning whether she thought it was fair to receive only €680 pension after 52 years of work. Montenegro responded that it would be necessary to analyze the specific case, and during the visit he was also confronted by other retirees with similar complaints, including a pensioner who receives €350 and a former combatant who lost €280 from his pension during the troika. The article explains that the pension value depends on multiple factors beyond working time, and notes that the lowest pensions were updated in January 2026 with a 2.80% increase.

PSD de Viseu contests responsibility of previous executive for loss of PRR funds

PSD de Viseu contested the attribution of responsibility to the previous municipal executive for the non-completion of approximately 26 million euros in investments planned under the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), considering that the current mayor, João Azevedo, is "attempting to rewrite history" by attributing to the previous executive, led by fellow social-democrat Fernando Ruas, the failure to take advantage of EU funding. Pedro Alves argued that execution difficulties should be analyzed project by project, noting that when the AD Government took office in April 2024, Portugal's overall PRR execution was around 20%. In his view, the difficulties in fund execution were a nationwide problem, resulting from "heavily centralized, bureaucratic and complex" programs and procedures. The PSD leader rejected the idea that Viseu's situation could be attributed exclusively to lack of planning or projects from the previous executive. PSD also highlighted that many of the investments currently under execution were prepared before the last local elections, and that in the health sector, several procedures had to be repeated due to tenders that received no bids or proposals that exceeded available budgets. The party also contested the use of Family Health Units as an example of alleged lack of execution, recalling that the current municipality decided not to proceed with some previously planned solutions. Pedro Alves also criticized the operation to acquire 50 dwellings through a Public Acquisition Offer worth 12.5 million euros, which received nine proposals but resulted in no dwelling being acquired. "At this point, there's no previous executive to blame," he stated. PSD now demands that João Azevedo present a detailed breakdown of the allegedly lost 26 million euros, questioning how much was approved, contracted, or resulted from tenders that received no bids.
