US Ambassador Highlights American Resilience and Praises Madeira

SAPO9 September 2026 at 17:57

The ambassador of the United States of America in Portugal, John Joseph Arrigo, met this Wednesday with the president of the Regional Government of Madeira. The meeting took place on the island of Madeira and marked the occasion when the diplomat spoke to the journalists present.

During his speech, the ambassador stated that the US "do not give in, do not break, and never forget", in reference to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. That terrorist attack caused the death of nearly 3,000 people in American territory.

John Joseph Arrigo also took the occasion to praise Madeira, highlighting the qualities of the Portuguese autonomous region. The diplomat did not specify which concrete aspects earned his praise during the visit.

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.

PP considers declassified documents demonstrate Sánchez's "state lie"

The Popular Party (PP) considered that the secret documents about the migratory crisis in Ceuta, declassified by the Council of Ministers, reveal an alleged "state lie" by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. 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".
