🎙️ Podcast

A new podcast, 'As Sombras de Duarte Lima,' has premiered, revealing previously unreleased documents and audio in the ongoing investigation into the disappearance and murder of Rosalina Ribeiro, with accusations against Duarte Lima. Another episode from the same podcast series, titled 'I Arrived Late, What Horror,' aired, featuring historical figures Silva Pais and Annie in relation to Humberto Delgado's murder. Former Minister of Finance Fernando Medina praised the government's proposed 2027 budget for its public debt reduction but criticized its spending rigidity, warning of limited support for families and businesses. Current Minister of State and Finance Joaquim Miranda Sarmento was heard at the start of the general discussion for the 2027 budget. Meanwhile, the INEM budget is set to increase by 30%, contingent on the approval of mandatory housing insurance. The implementation of mandatory catastrophe insurance for all residences is under consideration, with potential changes outlined. Housing protests continue, with three demonstrators remaining at Rossio square overnight. The government has also begun to distance itself from the expropriation costs associated with the new airport project. Separately, an algorithm has placed 161 doctors in specialty internships, though the process is facing increasing distrust due to reported errors.
