CNN Portugal11 September 2026 at 11:19

Portugal commemorated this Thursday the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, a date that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, led by Paulo Rangel, considered to be "a wound in memory" for humanity. The date marks a quarter of a century since the terrorist attacks that shook the United States of America.

The Ministry led by Paulo Rangel was the entity responsible for leading the official Portuguese commemoration of this date, taking the opportunity to remember the thousands of victims of the attacks that altered the course of world history and that had a profound impact on Portugal.

In its communication, the Portuguese Executive made a point of highlighting solidarity as a response to terrorism, conveying a message of unity and resistance in the face of the barbarism that characterized that day.

This commemoration comes at a time when 25 years have passed since one of the most traumatic episodes in contemporary history, which led to the outbreak of the War on Terror and profound transformations in international security policies.

Irregular entries fall 35% in the EU, but there is a route where they are increasing

The number of irregular entries in the European Union fell 35% in the first half of the year, according to data from Frontex, the European border guard agency. However, the Central Mediterranean route, linking Libya to Italy, records a significant increase in arrivals. The numbers now released do not include the thousands of entries of migrants in Ceuta, the Spanish enclave in northern Africa, which occurred at the end of July, which could significantly alter the data when updated.
