The political scientist and historian Jaime Nogueira Pinto considered that the motion of censure against the Government was rejected. Pinto is described as one of the figures who has most dedicated himself to the study of Chega's growth and the far-right in Europe.

In his analysis, Jaime Nogueira Pinto stated that wokeism has done a lot of harm to the political left. The historian compared the situation saying that, just as on the right it was allowed that racists and neo-Nazis took leadership positions, the same happened on the left with the influence of wokeism.

The statements were made in this week's program "Não Importa-se de Repetir?", where the political scientist commented on the current political situation and the rejection of the censure motion.

New social welfare model in Higher Education: strengthen without excluding

The article analyzes the new Regulation for the Award of Scholarships to Higher Education Students approved by the Portuguese Government in May, which adjusts scholarship amounts to students' economic conditions and regional cost of living. The rector of the University of Aveiro warns that preliminary simulations at the institution indicate that around 20% of scholarship recipients analyzed (15 out of 72 cases) could no longer meet the conditions to receive a scholarship under the new rules. Although recognizing that the phased implementation until 2027/28 is positive, he argues that the reform requires a rigorous assessment of its effects, as the success of a social welfare policy is not measured only by the value of support, but also by the ability to ensure that no one is left behind.
