Minister says the State's purchase of REN was the "news she most enjoyed giving to the Portuguese"

SIC Notícias9 September 2026 at 13:48

Minister Maria da Graça Carvalho stated that the State's purchase of REN was the news she most enjoyed giving to the Portuguese. This position comes in the context of the acquisition of a 13.7% state stake in REN.

According to the minister, this stake allows the State to have additional intervention in a company responsible for electricity transmission and for gas transmission and storage. The State thus reinforces its presence in a sector considered strategic.

Maria da Graça Carvalho explained that the decision is related to reasons of sovereignty, public interest, and national security. The government justifies the operation as fundamental to guarantee greater control over essential energy infrastructures.

Alberto Gonçalves analyses the apparent contradiction of comedians and artists who refused to participate in a festival with Jerry Seinfeld, criticizing him for alleged controversial positions, but who simultaneously attended editions of the "Avante!" festival, organized by the Portuguese Communist Party, arguing that this event celebrates real genocides since 1931. The commentator highlights what he considers to be selective hypocrisy of these artists in their condemnation of certain figures while participating in an event associated with Stalinist regimes responsible for millions of deaths.
