Injunction suspends art education funding contest

Diário de Viseu12 September 2026 at 13:45

The art education sponsorship contracts contest was suspended by an injunction filed by the Lisbon Music Academy. This judicial measure prevented the normal conclusion of the ongoing selection process.

The Lisbon Music Academy was the institution that went to court to challenge the contest, invoking reasons that led to the suspension of the process through this injunction.

The Ministry of Education is awaiting a court decision before it can publish the provisional results lists of the contest. Until the legal situation is resolved, the process remains suspended.

Why this matters

Art education students and institutions in Portugal face prolonged uncertainty about access to funding, after the suspension of the sponsorship contest. The Lisbon Music Academy used legal means to contest the process, forcing the education ministry to delay publication of results pending court resolution. This situation may directly affect the funding expectations of various art schools in the country.

Tunisian olive oil pressures Portuguese market and Extremadura wants to block duty-free entries

The entry of Tunisian olive oil at reduced prices is exerting high pressure on the Portuguese market, with the GPP warning that national producers face difficulties in covering production costs. Extremadura asked the Spanish government to bring to Brussels the review and possible suspension of the inward processing regime that allows olive oil imports without payment of customs duties. Official data shows that Spain imported in the last five months more olive oil from Tunisia than Extremadura produces in an entire year, with 76.3% of these entries benefiting from the customs regime in question. The Alentejo, the country's main producing region, could be directly affected by any decision from Brussels.

Fernando Rodrigues, a retired Portuguese man who received 540 euros in pension, found himself forced to return to work to meet the couple's expenses, as the pension was not enough to cover monthly expenses. His wife, Filomena, also retired with about 700 euros, did part-time work to supplement the income. The couple spends more than 70% of their budget on household expenses, including 250 euros monthly on medications, and hadn't been on vacation for over 20 years. Fernando commented that he would only rest "when he goes to the cemetery".

Vehicles registered before this date may be exempt from IUC and inspection if they meet these requirements

In Portugal, vehicles over 30 years old can benefit from exemptions from IUC (Single Circulation Tax) and Mandatory Periodic Inspection, but age alone is not sufficient. To enjoy these benefits, the owner needs to obtain official certification as a vehicle of historic interest from recognized entities, such as ACP Clássicos or the Portuguese Classic Car Club. Additionally, the car must travel less than 500 kilometres per year to be entitled to IUC exemption, and the certification has a validity period that varies according to the vehicle's age. During the evaluation process, elements such as the bodywork, engine and preservation of original characteristics are analysed, which means that heavily modified cars may not be certified.
