Region invests 3.7 million in São Vicente Health Center without PRR support

dnoticias.pt14 September 2026 at 15:43

The Regional Government has proceeded with the rehabilitation of the São Vicente Health Center, in an investment of 3.717 million euros, including VAT, which will be fully covered by the Regional Budget. The work lost the possibility of benefiting from the 85% funding planned under the PRR, forcing the region to assume the total costs.

The contract was awarded to the company RIM – Engineering and Construction and should be completed at the end of Summer 2027. The commitment was announced by the regional secretary for Equipment and Infrastructures, Pedro Rodrigues, during a visit to the site.

Why this matters

Residents of São Vicente benefit from a rehabilitated health center, but without the European funding that would have reduced the cost for regional taxpayers. The fully regional investment may limit funds available for other budgetary priorities.

CVRA accuses the State of failing to control imported wine: "In whose name and why?"

The Regional Alentejo Wine Commission (CVRA), led by Luís Sequeira, accused the Portuguese State of not ensuring effective control over bulk imported wine, pointing to an accumulated difference of about 690 million liters over seven years between INE import data and volumes identified by the IVV as introduced for consumption. The responsible party demands that the Government immediately centralize the current accounts of bulk wine operators in the Wine and Vine Information System, applying the same model already successfully used for certified wines. The CVRA is not opposed to imports, but defends that identical rules should exist for all operators and monitoring mechanisms for imported wine, warning that tens of thousands of national wine growers are being harmed by unfair competition, mainly from Spain.

TST determines that Correios workers maintain 80% of staff during strike

The Superior Labor Court partially granted Correios' request and declared the workers' strike abusive, determining that unions maintain 80% of staff active in all units, including service, transportation, distribution, and administrative areas. The decision requires that the percentage be measured individually in each unit, shift, and activity, without compensation between different areas. Correios had filed a lawsuit requesting the declaration of abusiveness and the opening of collective bargaining due to lack of agreement on salary adjustment, whose judgment is scheduled for September 21.
