🚚 Truckers

The nation is experiencing significant domestic developments today, led by a large-scale protest from the earthmoving sector. Entrepreneurs are conducting a slow march of trucks towards Coimbra and a honking demonstration on the 25 de Abril Bridge to protest rising fuel prices, even as overall fuel consumption in the country exceeds the European average. In other news, the national football team, under new head coach Jorge Jesus, began his tenure with a 1-0 victory against Wales, featuring a standout performance and goal from João Félix. This comes as the Socialist Party reportedly refocused its political strategy on economic issues affecting Portuguese citizens. Meanwhile, the number of 'golden visas' granted in the past year reached a new maximum, and tragically, a firefighter died after being injured while battling a fire in Resende.
