Crossfire in Lusа's management

Correio da Manhã15 September 2026 at 01:30

A new management model for the Portuguese news agency is generating controversy. The Journalists' Union and the Professional Journalist Credentials Commission have expressed criticism regarding the proposals under discussion. The Parliament of the Azores also issued an unfavorable opinion on these management measures. The Portuguese news agency thus faces a moment of tension between various entities questioning the direction taken by the institution.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal are feeling the effects of this dispute because Lusа is the main source of information for many media outlets in the country. The restructuring could alter the quality and independence of the news coverage that reaches citizens.

The Seized Dry Skipjack Tuna and the Joyful Fools of PSD Caniçal

The Portuguese Navy, through NRP Zaire, seized approximately 2,000 kilos of undeclared dry skipjack tuna during an inspection operation near artisanal fishing vessels in the maritime zone of Caniçal, Madeira. The Maritime Police took charge of the incident and followed legal procedures. The incident generated a strong critical reaction from a blogger against PSD Madeira, accusing the party of having created legislation that favors freezing and fish distribution monopolies to the detriment of artisanal fishermen, and of now asking for "common sense" from authorities after the crackdown when it was their own policies that created the situation.

Episode II: the academic dynasty at UMa.

Suddenly the Petit Salazar became popular

The sudden media visibility of "Petit Salazar" in Madeiran media reveals backstage political maneuvers, at a time when Miguel Albuquerque's political cycle seems to reach uncertain expiration dates. A figure who has operated in the shadows, placing pawns in public administration, the Petit Salazar now emerges as a potential successor before unwanted candidates from internal opposition emerge. The article questions whether this calculated exposure is instruction from party leadership and alerts to the risk of promoting a party strategist without populist charisma or public empathy, testing whether the traditional PSD/Madeira hegemony will resist replacing a historic leader with a politician without a consolidated public image.

Trump's EPA revokes pollution limits on fossil fuel plants</minimax:tool_call>: Trump's EPA revokes pollution limits on fossil fuel plants

The Trump administration is revoking the emission limits on greenhouse gases established for fossil fuel-powered power plants in the United States, in a decision that represents a significant reversal in the country's environmental policy. The EPA administrator, the US environmental agency, announced the revocation of the regulations implemented during the previous administration, arguing that the previous rules were too burdensome for the energy industry. This measure allows coal, natural gas, and oil plants to operate with fewer restrictions in terms of carbon emissions and other air pollutants.
