Famalicão advances with water hyacinth removal in the Ave River

SAPO Notícias10 September 2026 at 17:17

The combat against the spread of water hyacinth in the Ave River entered a new phase this Tuesday, September 8, with the beginning of an intervention in the parishes of Ribeirão and Fradelos.

The operation is promoted by the Municipality of Vila Nova de Famalicão and is part of a joint strategy involving the Portuguese Environment Agency (APA) and other organisms not mentioned in full in the article.

Water hyacinth is an invasive aquatic plant that represents an environmental threat to the ecosystem of the Ave River, affecting biodiversity and water quality.

This intervention comes within the scope of a broader plan for the protection and enhancement of the river, which aims to control the expansion of this invasive exotic species in the Famalicão region.

"The Truth Movement": 25 years of (debunked) conspiracy theories about the 9/11 attacks

Twenty-five years after the September 11, 2001 attacks, conspiracy theories about what really happened continue to circulate at dinners, on social networks and self-managed platforms like the 9/11 Visibility Project or AttackOnAmerica, giving rise to the so-called "truth movement." This movement claims that the United States government is hiding information to convince the population to accept a more authoritarian regime. The debunked theories include everything from the claim that the government deliberately allowed the attacks to the belief that the towers were not brought down solely by the planes, but rather by controlled demolitions. The article explores how these ideas originated on the very day of the attacks and remain active today, fueling ongoing debates and persistent distrust.
