Azorean government promises fishing support through marine areas in "very little time"

jornalacores9.pt15 September 2026 at 14:30

The Government of the Azores promised today that the ordinance with support for fishermen due to the implementation of protected marine areas will be published shortly. This promise comes after the Socialist Party demanded the payment of funds to professionals in the sector.

According to the Regional Executive, the entire process is closed and the ordinance will be published "within very little time," depending only on European Union authorization to proceed.

The announcement aims to respond to criticisms that Azorean fishermen have been harmed by the creation of protected marine areas in the region, without having received in time the promised support to compensate for restrictions on fishing activity.

The content of the article indicates that the Azorean newspaper that published the news expects the ordinance to be published shortly, ending a tug-of-war between the Regional Government and fishermen in the autonomous region.

Why this matters

Azorean fishermen are awaiting government support to compensate for the impacts of the creation of protected marine areas on their activities. The Socialist Party is pressing for the payment of promised funds, and the regional government assures that the ordinance is ready, depending only on European authorization to proceed.

Álvaro, savings specialist, on this washing machine button: "Never touch it unless you really need to"

Álvaro Navarrete, savings specialist, warns that the speed acceleration buttons on washing machine programs, such as VarioSpeed or SpeedPerfect, can increase energy consumption instead of reducing it, contradicting the common idea that shorter cycles are necessarily more efficient. The specialist recommends reserving these functions only for urgent situations and preferring Eco programs, which, although longer, consume less energy by using lower temperatures. Navarrete also suggests other habits, such as taking advantage of the full drum capacity, cleaning the filter regularly, and using delayed start to concentrate washes during the cheapest hours.

Wall Street falls as oil prices and Treasury yields hit 19-year highs

Wall Street closed in negative territory on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 falling 0.20%, the Dow Jones losing 0.52% and the Nasdaq Composite down 0.26%, pressured by rising oil prices and increasing Treasury yields, with the 10-year US debt interest rate reaching levels not seen in about 19 years. The worsening of tensions in the Middle East increases the risk of new disruptions in oil markets, while investors await further signals from the Federal Reserve on the interest rate trajectory. In the technology sector, Nvidia rose 0.94%, in a context of volatility among chip manufacturers, and cryptocurrency-linked companies are among the most pressured, with bitcoin falling more than 3%.
