Councilor says Mercedes in social housing area should encourage enforcement

dnoticias.pt10 September 2026 at 11:05

Independent councilman of the Funchal Municipal Council Luís Filipe Santos defended, at the municipal executive meeting on September 10, a reinforcement of inspections in municipal social housing neighborhoods. The intervention comes in a context in which, according to the councilman, there are families with difficulties in accessing housing and a high demand for municipal homes.

Luís Filipe Santos defended that inspections should focus especially on situations that may indicate changes in the economic condition of social housing beneficiaries. The councilman considered that cases such as the presence of Mercedes brand vehicles in social housing neighborhoods should trigger inspection actions.

The councilman defended that it is necessary to ensure that public housing support actually reaches those who need it. The municipal executive meeting served as a stage for this intervention on the management of the municipality's housing heritage.

Trump promises $5,000 to each American if Republicans win midterms

Donald Trump promised at the Republican convention in Dallas to give $5,000 (about 4,300 euros) to each American citizen if Republicans win the November midterm elections, urging supporters to "pretend" his name is on the ballot. The president warned that a defeat would mean "returning to hell," losing the border, tax cuts, and security. The almost two-hour speech aimed to mobilize a Republican electoral base with low propensity to vote, at a time when the party risks losing its majority in Congress and Trump's popularity is declining. Trump also talked about the cost of living, tariffs, border controls, and the war with Iran, asking voters to remember him in four or five years when the country is succeeding.
