CCPJ against the inclusion of political power in the Consultative Council of the news agency Lus

SAPO Notícias11 September 2026 at 22:43

The Professional Journalist Card Commission (CCPJ) expressed itself against the inclusion of representatives of political power in the Consultative Council of the Portuguese news agency Lus. This position was expressed through an opinion that was subsequently published by parliament.

The CCPJ is the body responsible for the regulation and supervision of the journalistic profession in Portugal, functioning as an entity that assigns the professional card to journalists. The Lus agency is the main Portuguese news agency, serving as a source of information for the main media outlets in the country.

This opinion arises in the context of discussions about the governance and management structure of the news agency.

Food VAT: reform rather than patch up

The article defends a deep reform of food VAT instead of patchwork solutions, arguing that food is a basic need and not a luxury, and should therefore be treated differently by fiscal policy. The text warns that the current food VAT system is too complex and unfair, penalizing the most vulnerable consumers and contributing to inequality in access to healthy food. Proponents of this reform propose a simplification of rates and greater transparency in the application of the tax, ensuring that the tax burden does not compromise the food quality of Portuguese families.
