Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic dissolved parliament and called early elections for October 25. The decision came after weeks of pressure from anti-government protesters.

The protests were triggered by the collapse of the Novi Sad railway station, which occurred in 2024. The accident sparked public outrage and intensified calls for government changes.

The early elections represent a response to the demands of citizens who took to the streets to protest against Vucic's government.

Due to heavy rains, Flávio Bolsonaro's plane has landing location changed in Juiz de Fora (MG)

Candidate for President by PL, Flavio Bolsonaro, was forced to change his arrival plan in Juiz de Fora (MG) due to heavy rains affecting the region. Originally, he would land at Serrinha Airport at 9am, but will now land at Goianá Airport, situated 40 minutes from the city. This is the second campaign attempt in the city, as a previous agenda was cancelled on August 17 due to bad weather. On that occasion, Bolsonaro returns to the same city where former President Jair Bolsonaro suffered the knife attack during the 2018 campaign. In the morning, he participates in a motociata with supporters to the city center, on a route of about ten kilometers, followed by a rally on an electric trio truck.

Montenegro 'blames' Costa's governments for poor student results in PISA

Primeiro-Ministro Luís Montenegro attributed on Wednesday the poor results of Portugal in the PISA study to "political decisions that were also not the best", referring to the previous Socialist government led by António Costa. Montenegro considered that the country was confronted with a decrease in results in international assessment systems, with the most recent results approaching 2006 levels in the three subjects assessed, completely reversing gains previously achieved. The Government had previously rejected political responsibilities for the results, lamenting that they are "historical, but in the negative sense".
