Trump defends that Ireland reunification "will happen"

Observador13 September 2026 at 09:57

Donald Trump defended that the reunification of Ireland will happen. The former president's position was expressed during a visit to Ireland, where he addressed the question of the island's political future.

Northern Ireland has historically been divided between two main communities. The nationalists, mostly Catholics, advocated for union with the Republic of Ireland. The unionists, mostly Protestants, intended to maintain the link to the United Kingdom. This division was at the center of decades of conflict in the region.

Why this matters

This article is of interest to readers in Portugal and Europe because Trump, as an influential worldwide political figure, commenting on the political future of Northern Ireland may have implications for international agreements and the political stability of the British Isles, a region with strong economic and historical ties to Portugal and the European Union.

Fernando Alexandre may be the minister Education had been waiting for decades | By Henrique Dias Freire

This opinion article analyzes the performance of Education Minister Fernando Alexandre, praising the recovery of teachers' service time (with almost 90,000 teachers benefiting), support for relocation, and simplification of recruitment procedures, but harshly criticizing the failure to digitize this summer's exams, which forced the re-evaluation of papers and delayed the school calendar. The author concludes that the minister is "on the way" to a long-awaited change, but historical recognition will depend on the ability to transform reforms into lasting results for students.
