Secrets and lies

Público12 September 2026 at 06:00

António Barreto wrote an opinion piece titled "Secrets and lies," addressing the conduct of deputies during parliamentary sessions. The commentator raises the question of whether deputies should be prohibited from using mobile phones during committee and plenary sessions. The article's title suggests a critique of parliamentarians' behavior, possibly related to lack of attention or questionable practices during legislative proceedings. The prohibition proposal apparently aims to ensure greater focus and rigor in the work of the Assembly of the Republic. Barreto presents this suggestion as part of a broader reflection on the need for stricter rules to discipline the conduct of deputies.

The spirit of the times (2) and in Portugal (1)

José Pacheco Pereira analyses the growing presence of the Chega party in Portuguese politics, arguing that this phenomenon is not exclusive to Portugal nor a novelty, but rather part of a broader international trend of the rise of populist and extremist movements. The author suggests that the "muddy bottom" brought by the party is a reflection of a broader global political climate, where issues such as immigration, nationalism, and distrust of institutions are gaining strength in various countries.
