RTP Notícias10 September 2026 at 06:20

Democratic Senator John Fetterman, from Pennsylvania, caused controversy by appearing at the Republican Party convention, the opposing party. His presence at the event generated controversy among Democrats.

During the Republican convention, Fetterman made surprising statements by promising that he "will always reject the extremes of socialism and the anti-American lifestyle," aligning himself with typical positions of the party opposite to his own.

This appearance was met with strong criticism from members of the Democratic Party, who considered Fetterman's words a betrayal of the party's values. The episode highlights internal divisions within the Democratic party.

Discos Pedidos: Chega to propose zero VAT on food basket. Is this when Parliament approves?

Chega will present next week a bill to set VAT to zero on the food basket, one month before the submission of the State Budget proposal for 2027. This is not the first time the party proposes this measure, and it is not alone in defending it, as PS has also already presented similar proposals, although without success. The Government argues that the generalist measure is not the most appropriate to help Portuguese families, since it ends up benefiting more those with higher incomes, as exemplified by the finance minister with the reference to "Cristiano Ronaldo's Wagyu steak". Several parties defend the reduction of VAT on food, but defend different paths, which has prevented an agreement. The price of the food basket continues to rise, having reached 255.26 euros, according to Deco Proteste.

Let's Then Talk Again About Sahra Wagenknecht

The article analyzes Sahra Wagenknecht and the BSW party, arguing that, despite promising to stop the AfD, the party is preparing to abstain and allow the AfD to govern Saxony-Anhalt. The author draws parallels with Danish social democracy, which had its worst result since 1903, and with the English Labour Party, which lost its leader, suggesting that this is a pattern of capitulation that leads to defeat. The article concludes that Wagenknecht was destined for defeat precisely because she was destined for capitulation.
