Trump welcomes the far-right victory in Saxony-Anhalt on Sunday

SAPO Notícias9 September 2026 at 01:46

Donald Trump on Tuesday welcomed the far-right victory in Germany in the regional elections held on Sunday. The former US president stressed that it was a "very good night" for the "Populist Party", a direct reference to the Alternative for Germany (AfD). The AfD obtained a wide lead in the regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt. The far-right party thus achieved a significant result in the German regional elections.

The Caniço Interchange: a "victory" that tasted like a Calvary.

The article criticizes the conclusion of works on the Caniço Interchange, in Madeira, presented by the Regional Government as an "unprecedented achievement" after an investment of 30 million euros. The author argues that the intervention dragged on for years with constant advances and setbacks, lanes that opened and closed, and detours that changed weekly, revealing a project that "was born incomplete" and was being patched up along the way. It highlights that the real costs - in time, fuel, stress and safety - were borne by motorists without a credible deadline being given. Although it acknowledges that improvements were necessary, it questions why they were not part of the initial project and refuses to celebrate as a triumph something that should serve as a lesson on how public works should not be planned.

The new intellectual-jackasses

This opinion article from the Madeira Opina blog criticizes the combination of cronyism and favoritism in Madeira's public administration with the growing use of artificial intelligence tools by people without real preparation. The author argues that, while for years meritocracy was merely an illusion disguised by marked cards and nepotism, the situation has now worsened with so-called "intellectual donkeys" who use algorithms to produce impressive reports without genuine knowledge. The result is an incompetent and malleable decision-making elite that harms the island.

The American "pigs" and the system "pigs."

This opinion article compares the American "pigs," linked to Trump's "America First" policy and his international isolation, with the local and regional system "pigs," criticizing both the Madeiran government and traditional parties captured by clientelist networks. The author argues that ordinary Americans only react to fuel and supermarket prices, while in Madeira and mainland Portugal the population faces rising cost of living, violence and growing frustration, exemplified by the growth of the AfD in Germany. The text warns of latent violence in society and criticizes the political class for not solving the real problems of ordinary people.

The Two-Faced Morality!

This opinion article criticizes the hypocrisy of certain political positions regarding immigration in Portugal. The author argues that many people who emigrated or benefited from international mobility turn around and oppose immigration, applying a "two-faced morality" where the freedom to seek better opportunities is valid for Portuguese people but not for foreigners. The text also denounces other contradictions, such as those who demand cheap labor but refuse to work for low wages, or those who reject the State for others but use it for themselves. It concludes that the central problem is not immigration itself, but the ability of some to construct incoherent moral principles according to their convenience.
