The Municipality of Fornos de Algodres has joined the Rural Move network, an initiative to promote rural territories that seeks to bring together people, projects and opportunities in Portugal. The partnership aims to affirm the municipality as an attractive territory to live, work, undertake and invest in the Interior of the country.

Rural Move operates on a logic of cooperation between territories and partners, promoting the sharing of knowledge, experiences and good practices. For Fornos de Algodres, the membership will allow strengthening municipal work in areas such as attracting new residents, remote work, entrepreneurship and the dynamization of coworking spaces.

The President of the Municipal Chamber, Alexandre Lote, highlighted that rural territories now have an opportunity they cannot miss, noting that more and more people are seeking quality of life, proximity, security and a different relationship with the territory. The mayor considered that Fornos de Algodres has the conditions to meet this demand.

With this integration, Fornos de Algodres reinforces its connection to a national network dedicated to valuing the new rurality, assuming a more active position in building solutions for the demographic, economic and social challenges that mark the territories of the Portuguese Interior.

Chega questions: "Why was Luís Neves removed from Operation Influencer?"

Chega's leader, André Ventura, questioned in Parliament why current Minister of Internal Administration Luís Neves was removed from Operation Influencer, within the framework of the motion of censure presented by the party. Ventura addressed Minister José Luís Carneiro, questioning why the PS is silent and demanding explanations about the different treatment compared to other cases. Deputy Rita Matias reinforced the suspicions, questioning the normality of a reference criminal police body being removed from a process that led to the fall of a Government. Chega also announced it would propose a parliamentary inquiry committee into Operation Influencer to investigate acts of corruption in the last Executive of António Costa, although PSD and PS have already blocked this CPI from advancing. Operation Influencer investigates suspected crimes in the construction of a data center in Sines, in lithium exploration in Montalegre and Boticas, and in hydrogen production, having led to the fall of António Costa's Government in November 2023.
