Council of Ministers meets today with focus on Higher Education

Observador9 September 2026 at 07:11

The Council of Ministers meets this Wednesday in Bragança, with special attention to Higher Education and the development of the country's interior. This meeting takes place only one day after the rejection of the motion of censure against the Government.

The choice of Bragança as the location of the meeting is not casual, being a city in the interior of Portugal where issues related to Higher Education and the depopulation of the territory assume particular relevance.

The Executive intends to debate measures that can strengthen higher education institutions located outside the major urban centers, seeking to reverse trends of abandonment and depopulation of the interior regions.

This meeting arises in a particular political context, after the rejection of the motion of censure that had been presented by the opposition to the Government.

50 years later, China remains silent about Mao's death but preserves his legacy

China marked 50 years since Mao Zedong's death without any official ceremony or coverage in state media, in a demonstration of calculated silence about the founder of the People's Republic. Although the regime formally keeps his legacy untouched, with his statue in Tiananmen Square and the portrait in the Great Hall of the People, Beijing chose not to commemorate the anniversary, reflecting the persistent ambivalence towards his polarizing figure, responsible both for the founding of modern China and for policies that caused millions of deaths. The decision not to mark the date contrasts with the annual celebration of the founding of the People's Republic on October 1st.
