Half a tank goes to the State

dnoticias.pt12 September 2026 at 02:00

Fuel prices in Europe reached high values this week, with sixty litres costing more than 130 euros at a mainland petrol station. 95 octane gasoline settled at 2.115 euros per litre and diesel at 2.188 euros. Many consumers are outraged by this situation.

However, the article argues that this outrage is misdirected. This week's increase was an international phenomenon, with rises of 8.5 cents for gasoline and 11 cents for diesel in just seven days.

These increases were driven by external factors, specifically by the Brent price and the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, not by local decisions.

The text suggests that oil companies are not responsible for this situation, arguing that one must be fair in analysis in order to properly understand the problems.

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.

Alemão Cable Car Receives Steel Cables for System Reactivation After Ten Years of Waiting

After ten years of being deactivated, 7 kilometers of steel cables, totaling 78 tons, arrived at the Alemão Complex for the rehabilitation of the community's cable car. The material is part of electromechanical equipment acquired by the state government from the French company POMA, the holder of the system's technology. The acquisition was made through an international letter of credit. The transport of the cables, which were stored at the Special Operations Command of the Military Police in Ramos, to the Palmeira/Fazendinha station, was carried out in two stages to avoid impacts on Avenida Brasil traffic. The installation will be handled by MPE Engenharia e Serviços.
