Correio da Manhã12 September 2026 at 01:30

Passos Coelho warned Luís Montenegro that "time is running out," in a political intervention where he called for a "transformative agenda" for the Country. The former prime minister and former PSD leader delivered this message during a public appearance, demonstrating his concern with the direction Portuguese politics is taking.

In his speech, Passos Coelho emphasized that, even in the event of electoral defeat, the party must remain true to its convictions. He stated that "one loses with the dignity of our convictions," suggesting that the principles defended by the PSD should not be compromised by short-term electoral strategies.

Shorts and ironies

The book "Struggles against the dictatorship from Democratic Portugal – transatlantic connections", by Edgar Silva and Élvio Passos, was presented in Funchal. The book is dedicated to the role of resistance journalism against Salazarist censorship. The article highlights the irony of celebrating this memory in a context where free and independent press in Madeira finds itself progressively limited by dependence on regional subsidies, the pressure of concrete, and domesticated editorial lines. The piece warns that although journalism no longer formally faces dictatorships, it encounters new, subtle mechanisms of conditioning, where scrutiny gives way to propaganda and investigative journalism is replaced by government press releases.
