Correio da Manhã9 September 2026 at 13:17

Prime Minister Luís Montenegro announced an IRS reduction that will be accommodated in the Autonomous Region of Madeira. The Regional Government led by Miguel Albuquerque will integrate this fiscal measure into the autonomous regime.

Madeira currently applies the maximum fiscal differential of 30% relative to the mainland in the nine IRS brackets. This differential is the maximum allowed by the Regional Finance Law, which establishes the limits for the tax benefits of the Portuguese autonomous regions.

Notebooks of the West – Chronicles of a country between the law, custom and reality

A proposal from the Portuguese section of Transparency International, led by João Ribeiro, suggests the criminalisation of "cunha" (using connections) in Portugal, creating a new crime called "undue intermediation for access to public decision-making", punishable by up to three years in prison. The proposal, sent to parliamentary parties in July, aims to distinguish between legitimate contact with public officials and the use of personal, family or institutional relationships to obtain undue advantages in public decisions. The text warns that the measure cannot become a "forest of forms" and that the real challenge will be ensuring that citizens without contacts have the same possibilities as those who know decision-makers, defending that the revolution will be making cunha unnecessary.

The spokesperson for the Popular Parliamentary Group, Ester Muñoz, accused Sánchez of having "lied" for a month about the management of the migratory avalanche in the Spanish city, doing so "without shame, without blushing, with alarming coldness and lack of empathy".
