What's the plot of '1984', the book cited by André Mendonça when removing Andrei Rodrigues from the PF

BBC News Brasil8 September 2026 at 20:12

Minister André Mendonça, from the Supreme Federal Court (STF), cited the book "1984", by George Orwell, when determining the removal of Andrei Rodrigues from the leadership of the Federal Police. The work, released 75 years ago, is a dystopian novel that carries a forceful critique of authoritarianism and the manipulation of truth. Orwell's book has become a reference in discussions about totalitarian regimes and narrative control.

'Putting a wedge' could become a crime in Portugal and carry up to three years in prison: find out when

A proposal from the Portuguese section of Transparency International advocates the creation of a new crime in Portugal to punish the so-called "cunha" when used to obtain preferential treatment in public decisions. The bill, sent to parties with parliamentary seats, provides for sentences of up to three years in prison or fines for anyone who uses personal, family or institutional relationships to unduly influence the actions of public officials. The measure also includes transparency mechanisms, such as mandatory registration of external contacts related to specific processes, and provides for its expiration after 15 years, with four-yearly evaluations. The proposal also extends to the private sector, namely listed companies, requiring them to disclose recruitment opportunities for senior positions.
