Public service on Terceira with tolerance of point on "Terça-feira das Lajes"

Açoriano Oriental9 September 2026 at 18:13

The Government of the Azores will grant tolerance of point on October 6th to workers of the Regional Public Administration with headquarters on Terceira island.

The measure applies specifically to regional services located on Terceira, not covering workers from other islands of the archipelago.

The tolerance of point is due to the traditional festivities of Nossa Senhora do Rosário, the patron saint that gives its name to the celebration known as "Terça-feira das Lajes".

This is a habitual practice of the regional executive, which grants tolerance days on significant dates for each island of the Azores.

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.
