The new "science law" must be so good, so good, that, a week after its approval in the council of ministers, the government is still keeping it a secret... (translated)

The government continues firmly with the state reform: it has managed to add to the many thousands of students without teachers a few thousand students without schools. (translated)

Millions for consultancies are not lacking. What is lacking are teachers. Here, we are missing one in Mathematics, one in Physics-Chemistry, one in History, one in Geography, one in Visual Education. See you. The blame now is on the schools, isn’t it, Mr. Minister? This is the “reform of the State.” (translated)

The exchange of accusations about the VAT on fuels - whether it is to be lowered in 2026 or only in 2027 - serves to entertain and divert attention from the essential: those involved in this discussion agree not to touch on Galp's profits. And yet, that is where we can and should act. 👇 (translated)

Starting next week, thousands of families in Lisbon, with incomes below the national average income, will have to pay double for their children's school meals, by decision of the Moedas/PSD/CDS/IL management with the support of CH. (translated)

Listening to him, no one says he has been the mayor for 5 years. He says he is at war. He should just leave us in peace. (translated)

In Colombia, the current president (outgoing) denounces an electoral fraud with external interference. Relevant themes that on other occasions, in other places, have raised an interest that this time the national press and the sources it draws from do not seem to demonstrate. (translated)

A shocking lack of humanity. Here we are. To feed his clientele, Moedas moves worlds and resources. For the most vulnerable inhabitants of the city, there is a shocking insensitivity left over. (translated)

Ribeiro e Castro publicly and foolishly assuming the chopping down of a nearly century-old Stone Pine in Largo de São Domingos. Because yes, because he wanted to, and because he doesn't have to ask for permission. Any day now, they'll say that this is a rule of law. Moedas watches, passive and complacent. (translated)

Lisbon City Council, in 2024, demanded that the government build the new airport and close Portela in less than 10 years. Now, the government announces a delay. It won't be 2034, it will be 2037 or 2039. What does the City Council do? Says it's fine. The difference? Moedas now has an absolute majority. (translated)

The government announced the postponement of the construction of the new airport in Lisbon. It was to be expected. They are telling us a comforting story while they shove the expansion of Portela and its brutal impact on public health down our throats. ANA/Vinci commands, the government obeys. ✈️ (translated)

An irresponsible rush forward, in the face of the chaos they created 👉Even now there are teachers waiting for items to correct 👉There is an unknown number, but predictably significant, of incomplete graded tests 👉The second phase starts without students knowing their grades from the first (translated)

49,000 empty houses in Lisbon, more than 30,000 have not paid water/electricity bills for over a year. (just over 10% paid increased IMI) Data from 2025. (translated)

Still without solutions for the chaos caused in the exams and, predictably, in the process of accessing higher education, without solutions to mitigate the inevitable impacts for thousands of young people and their families, here comes the prime minister publicly blaming the teachers. (translated)

Lisbon is in a situation of housing scarcity and has been classified as an area of urban pressure for years. Despite this, Moedas/PSD/CDS/IL+CH suspend the construction of affordable housing and, in an act of harmful, immoral management, decide to sell land necessary for this purpose! (translated)

The immense force that was able to prevent this setback is also capable of pushing for progress, against the will of those who still want to impose setbacks. And then we will see who, after all, the immobilists are. (translated)

This! ✊ Among the possible victories these days, this will be the one of greatest significance for the lives of millions of Portuguese. (translated)

Coins/PSD/CDS/IL/CH, which offers €50M in the "IRS refund" to the 10% richest in the city, wants to cut the scope of School Social Action, which costs about €1.5M/year, excluding, for example, couples with one child where both earn a minimum wage. This is what a government for the rich looks like. (translated)

Coins, read PSD/CDS/IL/CH, wants to cut support for school meals and increase their price for tens of thousands of children, while conceding millions €€ in tax exemptions to the wealthiest, to entertainment multinationals, and to pseudo-cultural events set up by friends. (translated)

“Perhaps this will all be a wake-up call for the sport, but it’s unlikely, because this isn’t just about FIFA or about football. What we’re seeing with this World Cup cuts to the heart of empire and the value system which underpins it.” https://t.co/fRYyBg6Kv2 https://t.co/k94CAFnhS9 #WorldCup #FIFA #SportIntegrity #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedfromtheprovidedtweet.
