So the DN-M had compassion and did not censor.

This opinion article on the "Madeira Opina" blog harshly criticizes a previous text by Miguel de Sousa published in the Diário de Notícias about TAP's privatization. The author deconstructs point by point Miguel de Sousa's arguments, questioning his lack of knowledge about the commercial aviation market, his theories about "air races" and the alleged compassion of groups like Lufthansa or Air France/KLM for insularity. The text also analyzes the issue of European competition regulation, the alleged Iberia/BA plan to destroy Lisbon's hub, the confusion between VINCI's airport management and the French State, and responsibility for the Mobility Subsidy model. The article concludes that the Diário de Notícias did not censor the text out of editorial compassion, and that the idea of solving TAP's privatization with artificial intelligence is absurd.

The exemptions at SESARAM

The article addresses the recent implementation of biometric control at SESARAM (Health Service of the Autonomous Region of Madeira), criticizing the exemptions granted to certain medical specialties, such as plastic surgery and dermatology. The author reports that exempt doctors do not comply with schedules, arriving at 9am and leaving at 11am, while other employees are rigorously monitored. It also reports the existence of prolonged waiting lists, unjustified overtime work, and an alleged inequality in treatment between doctors and other health professionals. The author blames the administration and the board of directors for the situation, considering that career progression should be the same for all employees.

Half a tank goes to the State

Fuel prices rose significantly again this week, with 95 octane gasoline settling at 2.115 euros per litre and diesel at 2.188 euros, meaning filling sixty litres at a mainland petrol station costs over 130 euros. The increase was 8.5 cents for gasoline and 11 cents for diesel in just seven days, driven by the Brent price and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The article argues that public outrage, while justified, is misdirected, as this rise is an international phenomenon and not the responsibility of local operators.
