Papa Francisco diz que o ensino superior continua a ser um privilégio de poucos e que seria um “desperdício pensá-lo apenas para perpetuar o atual sistema elitista e desigual do mundo”.

Portugal’s far-right party Chega organised a presser inside a tiny space in a hotel basement with no windows...during a pandemic. Journalists walked out.
Portugal PM Costa back at it again. Asked by a reporter if he went too far with comments about Dutch Finance Minister, Costa replied: "Are you kidding me? Either the EU does what it has to do or it will end. Being in the EU is not living in isolation, it is sharing with others."
Lisbon mayor Moedas cancelled - at the last minute - his attendance at a Web Summit talk I was asked to moderate.
We were meant to discuss an important topic: urban mobility.
Not clear why he cancelled but it would have been great to hear his thoughts on such a crucial issue.
Today marks 45 years since a practically bloodless revolution brought Portugal’s dictatorship to an end. At a time far-right groups continue to emerge in Europe, it’s more important than ever for older and younger generations to celebrate this day. 25 de Abril, sempre.
Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa liga a toda a gente, desde à Cristina Ferreira ao enfermeiro que tratou de Boris Johnson, mas ainda não ligou à família do cidadão ucraniano espancado até à morte nas instalações do SEF
🇺🇦 Before the war started, 27,200 Ukrainians lived in Portugal, according to official data. That number has increased to 45,500 as more refugees flee due to Moscow's invasion. Ukrainians now make up 🇵🇹's second largest foreign community.
This photo shows hundreds of people queuing to vote for the very first time in 1975 after a revolution ended Portugal's four-decade-long fascist dictatorship. The voter turnout dropped nearly 50 percent since this photo was taken. It makes you think.

Portuguese President Rebelo de Sousa is under fire over remarks he has made in the last week:
1) told a young woman she might catch a cold because of her cleavage
2) asked a woman if a chair was strong enough to hold her weight
He is being accused of sexism and body shaming.
Portugal’s President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa said the more than 400 cases of child sexual abuse by members of the Catholic Church reported by commission

“doesn’t seem to be particularly high”.
Such a shameful remark.
No aeroporto de Lisboa, uma jornalista pergunta a um refugiado ucraniano acabado de chegar a Portugal: "Não foi por vontade que veio para Portugal?" E um pingo de noção, não há?
72% of young people in Portugal get paid a salary of less than 950 euros/month and 30% say they will leave the country in search of better opportunities...yet another example of why the Portuguese 'economic miracle' wasn't much of a miracle after all.
Um jornal que associa o aumento do número de imigrantes em Portugal a “alarme” é um jornal que está a contribuir para uma narrativa tóxica sobre a migração e faz parte do problema, não da solução.
Lagos, a town in southern Portugal, was Europe’s first African slave market. For centuries, the town hid its dark past. But this tiny museum is a step in the right direction. More Portuguese cities should follow in the footsteps.
Ireland's finance minister tells Portuguese counterpart Medina that he thoroughly enjoyed his last trip to Lisbon where he met the widow of Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa.
Pessoa died in 1935 and never got married.

Thousands of people - many who live in Lisbon’s outskirts - take to Lisbon streets in a protest for a “fair life” as high inflation makes it even tougher for people to make ends meet in one of Western Europe’s poorest nations.

! Watch the cheesy and delicious full episode now:
Portugal reported close to 9,000 new COVID-19 cases, the highest daily figure since early February. Deaths and hospitalisations remain far below levels seen during that period. There are now 909 people with COVID-19 in hospital compared to 6,869 patients on Feb. 1.
Standing next to a framed picture of former Portuguese dictator António de Oliveira Salazar, a prisoner works on a wooden confessional to be installed at a Lisbon park during Pope Francis' visit this summer📸 REUTERS/Pedro Nunes.
Police said today they wanted to ensure all fans follow COVID-19 rules, including wearing a mask and maintaining social distancing. This is Porto’s Ribeira area right now. Draw your own conclusions.
It is 47 years since an almost bloodless revolution finally led Portugal to democracy, ending the fascist regime put in place by dictator Antonio Oliveira Salazar.
Today my mum visited Angola’s slavery museum for the first time.
This building was once owned by our ancestors and used to forcibly baptise enslaved Africans before they were shipped to Brazil.
They were cuffed, tortured, given Portuguese names and a new religion.
Spotted in Lisbon: A sign showing the pope holding an ad for a villa available to rent during the global gathering of young Catholics taking place in 🇵🇹 this week. The price? 7,000 euros.
It reads: “A day for the youth, a year of speculation.”

Afro-Brazilian pilgrims who crossed the Atlantic for World Youth Day in Lisbon have filed a complaint w/ Portuguese police after allegedly experiencing at least three racist incidents.
On one occasion, a group of white pilgrims made monkey noises towards them, the group said.

Não quer um país sem memória mas onde está presente na cidade a memória do tráfico transatlântico? A memória da brutalidade do passado colonial? A memória da presença africana? A memória das origens da revolução de Abril? Não está. A isto chama-se memória seletiva.
Não quero um país sem memória, porque um país sem memória é um país sem futuro. Não nos esquecemos do 25 de Novembro. Não nos esquecemos dos heróis comandos que deram a vida pela democracia.
Em Lisboa celebramos novembro, precisamente porque somos democratas.
Viva o 25 de
Fires are now burning all across Portugal, north to south. In the Algarve, a 🔥 has reached the resort of Quinta do Lago. In Palmela, near Lisbon, there’s a 🔥 near the town center. In Leiria, where I am, firefighters are struggling to put out flames.
Three years ago today Portuguese actor Bruno Candé, of Guinean origin, was shot several times by a white man in his eighties - Evaristo Marinho - at Avenida de Moscavide, near Lisbon.
Marinho was convicted of racially motivated murder.
Dozens gathered by the river Tagus in Lisbon to celebrate African culture and pay tribute to the nearly 6 million people enslaved by Portugal during the transatlantic slave trade
Thirteen EU member states have signed a statement condemning Hungary's anti LGBT law, as "a flagrant form of discrimination" violating free speech.

Thousands of people took to the streets of Lisbon to give animals a voice as the 🇵🇹 constitutional court ponders if mistreating pets should be classed as a crime.
Portuguese president leaves his official residence to “get some fresh air” - which usually means he wants to talk to the media - but this time he has refused to answer reporters’ questions about the ongoing political situation.
He is expected to address the nation on Thursday.

GoFundMe has taken down a page accepting donations to help Portugal's most prominent anti-racism activist Mamadou Ba pay legal costs after a court found him guilty of defaming a neo-Nazi.
The funds raised were to be used to appeal the decision and take it to the ECHR if needed.

picture of two medical workers hugging outside a Spanish hospital breaks my heart. But it makes me think how we can only get through this crisis together. Sometimes a hug speaks louder than words.

:
Portugal’s government is expected to announce several measures to tackle the housing crisis, including support for young people and families struggling to pay rent. The controversial golden visa scheme is also expected to be scrapped.
“Portugal, she adds, has understandably become addicted to overseas money and investment. She compares it to a country rich in gold that is prepared to let its water be polluted and its environment be destroyed in the pursuit of growth.”
