Schools without vacancies, investigation by PJ, tax relief and classic Benfica-FC Porto dominate the headlines

dnoticias.pt15 September 2026 at 07:19

Schools in Lisbon are increasing vacancies to accommodate students without available places, a situation that has generated pressure on the capital's educational system. Simultaneously, Carlos Cabreiro, director of the Judicial Police, is being investigated for abuse of power, representing a significant case within Portuguese security forces.

In domestic affairs, the Government announced it will review the map of low-intensity territories, while in the banking sector, BPP already admits paying more refunds to five thousand creditors, indicating an evolution in compensation processes.

The primary sector faces serious challenges, with agriculture and fishing being described as hostages to fossil fuels, which increases the operational costs of these sectors. Regarding artificial intelligence, China rejected catastrophism but called for a "security barrier" for the technology.

In the North of the country, the departure of more than four thousand trucks from the Via de Cintura Interna may not be sufficient to relieve traffic, evidencing persistent urban mobility problems in the region.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal are directly affected by the lack of vacancies in Lisbon schools, by the investigation into a senior official of the Judicial Police that may have implications for trust in the police forces, and by debates on tax relief and energy costs that impact family budgets. This summary brings together the main political and social decisions that require citizens' attention.

Pensions and the Coldness of Mathematics

This opinion article analyzes the Portuguese contributory pension system, arguing for a clear separation between this system and social assistance. The author contends that those who contributed little should not receive the same as those who paid in for decades, except for elderly people who genuinely could not contribute due to a poorer and more informal Portugal. It identifies four problems with equalizing pensions: contributory justice, incentive distortion, budgetary costs, and loss of system credibility. It concludes that the State should protect those who could not contribute, but that those who could and chose not to contribute must accept the consequences of that choice, criticizing the political temptation to raise all pensions without distinguishing between solidarity and blind distribution.
