[00:00:14] dead in the reservoir, three construction workers lost
[00:00:19] year. In the October their lives in the Algarve during maintenance
[00:00:23] celebrations are invited to work. Municipal police forced protesters to
[00:00:26] remove 50 tents in Porto, even so... a
[00:00:30] few dozen young people remain in a square demanding housing at
[00:00:33] fair
[00:00:34] prices.
[00:00:38] The Supreme Commander of NATO Allied Forces
[00:00:39] October 23 last year, depicting issued a warning to Russia. American General
[00:00:43] Alexus Grenkewich warned Moscow that the Alliance
[00:00:47] does not want war but is ready
[00:00:56] in full force to Portugal, temperatures could reach 30 degrees.
[00:01:16] hospitalization happens on October
[00:01:26] intoxicated. They were inside a water reservoir in...
[00:01:30] when they lost their lives, all three were Romanian
[00:01:33] citizens and inhaled toxic gases during
[00:01:37] maintenance work.
[00:01:39] It was almost one in the afternoon when the Loulé firefighters
[00:01:43] received the alert: three intoxicated workers
[00:01:47] inside a water reservoir, in Quinta do Lago.
[00:01:51] The three men involved were Romanian citizens aged
[00:01:54] 21, 24, and 40. They had been
[00:01:57] waterproofing a pond in the garden of a
[00:02:01] private residence since the morning. The poor oxygen circulation inside the
[00:02:05] reservoir caused them to inhale the
[00:02:08] toxic gases emitted by the products being
[00:02:11] used. Despite the resuscitation maneuvers by the
[00:02:14] medical teams, the deaths of the three workers were declared at the
[00:02:18] scene. There are also three seriously injured, fellow workers who
[00:02:21] tried to help the victims. The necessary
[00:02:24] precautions were not taken, that is, that is, that is a certainty that we
[00:02:28] have, isn't it? In confined spaces, when more due care, when
[00:02:32] care, eh, collective or individual
[00:02:35] protection equipment is not used to work in these
[00:02:39] confined spaces, unfortunately the outcome is this and this is what we have before
[00:02:43] us, isn't it? What happened this
[00:02:45] more reforms, that is, if the Monday in the Algarve is a portrait of what happens in the
[00:02:48] country, it is the worst
[00:02:51] until October year for workplace accidents eh until
[00:02:53] August, 81, I believe, if the data we have is
[00:02:57] correct, fatal accidents
[00:03:00] this assembly. It is that... in recent years, about fatal accidents, 1/3
[00:03:02] are in construction, there is a real need to invest
[00:03:06] in prevention. The Authority for Working
[00:03:09] Conditions was called to the scene and is investigating the
[00:03:12] circumstances of the accident that took the lives of the three
[00:03:16] the country has plunged into day-to-day men. It is now important to
[00:03:18] river and the ascertain, for example, if the work was authorized and if the workers
[00:03:22] were in a regular situation.
[00:03:25] Luis Neves dismissed the Secretary General
[00:03:29] I gave some examples, for example, of Internal Administration. He acted and accused the Minister
[00:03:31] of political purge and unacceptable pressures.
[00:03:35] The now exonerated Secretary speaks of payments that he considers
[00:03:38] illegal to Cirespe and of Luis Neves' resistance to
[00:03:42] cutting waste in the structure.
[00:03:46] In a ministry that has had so little peace, there is still room
[00:03:49] for a new controversy. It involves Minister Luís Neves, who has not
[00:03:53] left the news, and a discreet ministry official
[00:03:56] who leaves with a bang. My name is Ricardo Carreira, Mr.
[00:04:00] Secretary General of the Ministry of Internal Administration. Ricardo
[00:04:03] Carrilho was dismissed this morning by the Minister. A note from the Internal
[00:04:07] Administration explained that the departure was due to a
[00:04:09] reorganization of the General Secretariat, the body that technically
[00:04:13] manages the ministry. But in an open letter in the newspaper
[00:04:16] Expresso, Ricardo Carrilho has another explanation for his
[00:04:21] if the wind departure. My dismissal, camouflaged
[00:04:23] under the bureaucratic pretext of giving a new
[00:04:26] direction, was nothing but a deception, it was a
[00:04:30] surgical political purge. In two decades of frontline
[00:04:33] public service, I have never been subjected to so much illegitimate pressure and
[00:04:37] such suffocating political interference as in the period when
[00:04:45] Republic was not chosen by Municipal police forced protesters to I served as Secretary General under the current tutelage of Luís Neves. In the text, which he called "The Dictatorship of
[00:04:48] Incompetence", he praised the work he himself developed and says that the
[00:04:52] reason for his departure is mainly related to Siresp and attempts to
[00:04:56] reform the organization responsible for emergency
[00:04:59] communication. The true crime that dictated my
[00:05:02] political sentence was precisely proposing the extinction of Sirés
[00:05:06] line, without PSA, a public company that has become a drain on
[00:05:10] public money and a democratic intermediary for
[00:05:13] luxury. Our internal audit proved that CIRS PSA
[00:05:16] receives from the state an average compensatory indemnity
[00:05:19] of 26 million euros annually since
[00:05:22] 2021, but the actual cost of operating the network does not
[00:05:26] exceed 14.8 million. The break
[00:05:30] must have been going on for some months. Ricardo Carrilho reportedly asked for more power to
[00:05:33] supervise Ciresp and made a complaint to the PGR
[00:05:37] about procedures in that body. At the same time,
[00:05:40] Luis Neves requested an audit of the contracts
[00:05:43] made by the General Secretariat with Ciresp during Ricardo Carrilho's mandate. The
[00:05:47] last straw must have been a payment of 26 million
[00:05:51] that Carrilho refused to make, considering it
[00:05:54] illegal. He was overruled by the
[00:05:56] Minister. Having legal
[00:05:59] opinions, the Minister gave instructions for
[00:06:03] the payment of contractualized service
[00:06:06] levels by the state, the due
[00:06:09] transfers to be made. Otherwise,
[00:06:12] Sirespe SAA would enter into a
[00:06:15] situation of serious financial
[00:06:18] constraint. Carrilho's letter is very harsh,
[00:06:22] criticizing Luís Neves across the board, speaking of illegitimate
[00:06:25] pressures. José Luís Carneiro, who worked with Carrilho in the
[00:06:28] internal administration, asks for the prime minister's intervention. Eh,
[00:06:32] I feel, therefore, concerned about the government, which is a source of permanent instability. On the one
[00:06:36] hand, eh, I feel that this instability occurs particularly
[00:06:40] in sectors, eh, since the very beginning, the Ministry of
[00:06:43] Internal Administration has not been peaceful and it is very important that we have a
[00:06:47] peaceful Ministry of Internal Administration. Chega and Liberal Initiative want
[00:06:50] to hear the dismissed Secretary General in Parliament. Meanwhile, Luís
[00:06:54] Neves has already chosen a successor, Major General of the
[00:06:57] GNR, Nuno Parreira da
[00:06:59] Silva.
[00:07:02] Construction work has begun on the high-speed rail in
[00:07:05] Portugal.
[00:07:12] The school year started a month ago and there are 65,000 students without
[00:07:16] a teacher for at least one subject.
[00:07:19] More than 900 timetables are still unfilled,
[00:07:22] 40% of which are in
[00:07:25] Lisbon.
[00:07:27] In the middle of October, having all classes is not for
[00:07:30] everyone. Fenprof states that this week there are
[00:07:33] 902 timetables to be filled, of these
[00:07:36] timetables, 111 are only in the first cycle,
[00:07:40] annual and complete.
[00:07:43] We are always talking about 65,
[00:07:47] 70,000 students who persistently
[00:07:50] remain without a teacher for at least one subject.
[00:07:53] The situation is evidently more complicated in the
[00:07:57] first cycle, we currently have 111 first cycle
[00:08:00] schedules, because there the teacher is
[00:08:04] that one, and if that one is missing, there is no other one. And this is a problem that
[00:08:08] persists, that it is not resolved, that the only way to
[00:08:11] resolve it is indeed to attract
[00:08:15] teachers, they don't exist. In Marvila, at the beginning of October, there were
[00:08:18] 300 children in the first cycle who did not have
[00:08:22] a teacher. Are there still students in Marvila without classes or is
[00:08:26] that the information we have, but eh, but it's not just there, in
[00:08:29] Setúbal too, in Silves too. How are these children being
[00:08:33] monitored? Evidently, if there are currently, and we believe so, still
[00:08:37] students at home, they are not being monitored by anyone.
[00:08:41] Now inside the school. The problem was solved by
[00:08:44] adding students to classes, calling
[00:08:47] teachers, for example, from special education,
[00:08:51] to whom they gave classes. We asked the Ministry of
[00:08:54] Education how many schedules were still unfilled. Without
[00:08:58] an answer, we analyzed the Minister's latest statements. Fernando
[00:09:02] Alexandre presented the numbers to Parliament and pointed to
[00:09:05] a cause. For the lack of teachers, it was last
[00:09:09] week. We have already placed 14,200 teachers since the beginning of
[00:09:12] September. But in the meantime, we had almost
[00:09:15] 700 medical leave, and therefore this obviously
[00:09:19] requires replacing
[00:09:22] teachers every day. What is happening? The
[00:09:25] absences are the essential justification. When we are talking
[00:09:28] about 6 or 7 thousand, we are talking about about 2 thousand medical
[00:09:32] absences and 6,000 teachers who are on moderate services.
[00:09:35] Many of the medical absences are medical absences that also come from the previous
[00:09:39] school year. The schools also know the situation.
[00:09:43] Therefore, the problem is not that. The appeal is one for incentives
[00:09:47] to make the profession more
[00:09:48] attractive.
[00:09:54] remove 50 tents in Porto. Even
[00:09:57] so, a few dozen young people remain in Dom João Iro square
[00:10:01] demanding affordable housing.
[00:10:03] Let us camp.
[00:10:07] Officer, how much do you pay for rent? They raise their
[00:10:11] voices against the police.
[00:10:21] In Porto, they were woken up by the municipal police. And
[00:10:25] at 6 AM, when we started to be
[00:10:28] woken up, eh, we were completely
[00:10:31] surrounded by police cars up there and down
[00:10:34] here. We had the intervention then of the police, the municipal
[00:10:38] police arrived saying that we had to collect our tents. The protesters who
[00:10:41] were here, ah, accepted the police's
[00:10:45] order. We started
[00:10:47] to dismantle the tents, but the police very quickly lost
[00:10:51] patience and then started to
[00:10:54] pull the tent from people's hands, pushing
[00:10:57] people, hum, and it's this kind
[00:11:00] of violence,
[00:11:04] oppressive, that we are not understanding in this peaceful
[00:11:07] demonstration. The PSP intervention unit was at the
[00:11:10] scene, but did not intervene. This
[00:11:13] protest began after Saturday's demonstrations in
[00:11:16] several cities. In Porto, about 1500 people took to the
[00:11:20] streets to protest against the rising cost of living and housing.
[00:11:24] Since then...
[00:11:41] here because housing conditions in Portugal, in Porto and in Portugal in
[00:11:44] general, have reached an absurd level where
[00:11:48] on average, the average salary is no longer enough to pay the rent for a one-bedroom house
[00:11:51] in Porto or Lisbon. I am currently paying
[00:11:55] €190 for a T0. The
[00:11:58] Porto City Council says the protest was unduly occupying public space. In the
[00:12:02] middle of the afternoon, the protesters felt
[00:12:04] intimidated. I would say that for now everything is peaceful and if anything
[00:12:08] escalated it was the police's action since 6:30 in the morning, which has been
[00:12:12] bothering and intimidating us in several actions, always saying different things,
[00:12:16] always claiming different legal things. On Saturday we received indications from the
[00:12:20] police that we could have the tents if we did not have the banners.
[00:12:23] Ah, this morning, we received the indication that we could have the food awnings if we didn't
[00:12:27] have the tents, then that we could have the tables if we didn't have the
[00:12:30] awnings, and now the tables can't be there and soon people can't be in a square
[00:12:34] in the middle of the afternoon, eh, in a city in a public
[00:12:38] space. New protests for the right to
[00:12:41] housing are scheduled for next Wednesday. A popular
[00:12:44] assembly is already scheduled in
[00:12:47] Porto.
[00:12:50] Live connection to Porto where Sofia Dias
[00:12:54] Olmedo is. Very good evening, Sofia, until when did the
[00:12:57] protesters intend to remain there in the
[00:13:00] square?
[00:13:04] Obviously, good evening, the protesters eh have the
[00:13:07] information from the City Council that they have authorization
[00:13:10] to protest here in this Dom João I square, at least
[00:13:16] 20th. This is, therefore, information that was given to us
[00:13:19] eh, a few minutes ago, during
[00:13:25] gathering about 200 people according to the
[00:13:28] PSP present here. I also take this opportunity to mention that as
[00:13:32] night fell there was also a police reinforcement here, eh,
[00:13:36] the arrival of more PSP agents and also of the
[00:13:39] municipal police was verified. At this moment
[00:13:42] they are talking about the next steps
[00:13:46] in this demonstration that will last at least until the 20th,
[00:13:49] as already mentioned, eh, a demonstration will be
[00:13:52] held on Wednesday at
[00:13:55] 7 PM. Eh, this is one of the decisions
[00:13:59] taken in this assembly, an assembly
[00:14:02] in which they are appealing to all young
[00:14:05] people and all people of all ages eh for a
[00:14:09] problem that they say is common to all society, it is transversal
[00:14:13] to all society, the problem of housing eh
[00:14:16] that has affected from young people eh to older
[00:14:20] people who also joined here throughout the afternoon. We can
[00:14:23] witness the presence of some elderly people here
[00:14:27] who were touched by the cause of these young people and decided
[00:14:31] to be here to demonstrate support eh for the
[00:14:34] cause. It is, therefore, a peaceful demonstration,
[00:14:37] eh, the tents had to be removed from
[00:14:40] Dom João Iro square, but the demonstration will continue. The
[00:14:44] objective is to be heard by the main
[00:14:54] protest demanding 140 million euros to respond to the increase in
[00:14:58] production costs. The Minister of Agriculture warned that
[00:15:02] support would only arrive next year. The
[00:15:05] basket delivered to the Prime Minister's residence at the Assembly of the
[00:15:10] chance. Farmers warn that the production of these
[00:15:13] foods is at risk. There is a very serious
[00:15:17] crisis of increasing production factors. The government has not
[00:15:21] reacted appropriately to this crisis.
[00:15:25] The Confederation of Farmers of Portugal considers that the aid they are asking the
[00:15:29] government for is supported by the guidelines of the European Union.
[00:15:33] They promise to continue the protests if the government of Luiz
[00:15:36] Montenegro does not implement compensation measures for
[00:15:39] the sectors, the government and the parties represented in the
[00:15:43] assembly, listen to the farmers, take the measures
[00:15:46] that we presented, this is an
[00:15:49] endpoint and it will be a very happy
[00:15:53] endpoint. If not, we
[00:15:56] will obviously make this moment not an
[00:15:59] endpoint, but a starting point and
[00:16:02] it is clear that we will
[00:16:05] multiply the protest actions, namely with...
[00:16:09] actions because we have no alternative, it is very
[00:16:12] important that this is understood, farmers at this
[00:16:15] moment have no alternative. In response to the farmers' concentration, the
[00:16:19] Minister says that only next year will there be more
[00:16:22] support. What I told them is very clear, we
[00:16:25] increased farmers' income per year by more than 200 million
[00:16:29] euros, which was, fortunately
[00:16:32] we did it, with criticism from the
[00:16:36] Socialist Party and... Chega and now for
[00:16:39] 2027, but the approval is now
[00:16:43] and we cannot anticipate this because it is a
[00:16:46] possibility that the European regulation gives us. There will be another
[00:16:49] 162 million euros for income
[00:16:52] support.
[00:16:54] Farmers are asking for support measures for the sector of 140
[00:16:58] million euros to be able to have competitive conditions to
[00:17:02] produce, among them they want financing lines,
[00:17:05] a request delivered to the Prime Minister, the President of the Assembly of the
[00:17:09] Republic, the parliamentary groups of PSD,
[00:17:12] Chega, PS, Liberal Initiative and CDS. This
[00:17:16] morning's concentration had 150 farmers, where
[00:17:19] the leader of the Chega Party was
[00:17:21] present.
[00:17:25] Construction work has begun on the TGV. The first section
[00:17:29] of the high-speed railway will connect Porto
[00:17:33] to Oiã, in the district of Aveiro, and should be
[00:17:36] completed in
[00:17:37] 2030.
[00:17:45] The Minister of Infrastructure speaks of a historic day for the
[00:17:48] country. It is the beginning of the construction of the high-speed
[00:17:51] railway. The journey between
[00:17:55] Porto and Lisbon will take one hour and 15 minutes.
[00:17:59] It is not this government's high-speed rail, it is the high-speed rail of all Portuguese from various governments over
[00:18:02] decades, and now it is necessary to meet deadlines, meet budgets to
[00:18:06] ensure that in 2008. 30, this section is completed, in 2032
[00:18:09] we have Lisbon, Porto, Vigo, completed, that is our generational
[00:18:13] obligation. The first section is 71
[00:18:17] km long. It will connect Porto to Oiã, in the district of
[00:18:20] Aveiro, and will cost more than 2.0 million euros. The
[00:18:24] government expects to advance with the next public-private
[00:18:27] partnerships in the short term. PPP-2
[00:18:30] is already in its final stage, almost ready for awarding. And
[00:18:33] PPP-3, we believe that...
[00:18:37] soon the tender will be launched because it is essential, we have to
[00:18:40] ensure that all are completed, otherwise we will have a crippled
[00:18:44] high-speed rail, we do not want a crippled high-speed rail, we want a complete
[00:18:47] high-speed rail. The first section includes the adaptation
[00:18:51] of the Campanhã station, the construction of a new bridge over the Douro
[00:18:56] requalification of the Santo Ovídio station in Vila Nova de
[00:18:59] Gaia. The president of the municipality disputes the project and
[00:19:03] asks for an alternative to be evaluated. I heard his
[00:19:06] public statements, I saw his concern, of course the residents
[00:19:10] suffer, in all these works, they suffer, in all these works of this
[00:19:13] magnitude. Therefore, we, Infrastructures of Portugal, government, have an obligation
[00:19:17] to listen, we will listen then we will make decisions. What I said is
[00:19:21] that for now, in the current circumstances, nothing leads
[00:19:25] me to have to change the decision that was made by the authorities of Portugal, the award that was
[00:19:28] made. The Minister guarantees that he will meet with the mayor of
[00:19:32] Vila Nova de Gaia soon, and stresses that a
[00:19:35] work of this dimension should achieve a broad
[00:19:38] consensus.
[00:19:42] Galpe's oil refining margin more than tripled
[00:19:45] in the third quarter. The
[00:19:48] data revealed by the company show that this margin increased
[00:19:52] from $9.5 per barrel to
[00:19:55] $33.80 when compared to the same period last
[00:19:59] year. Galpa also increased its oil exploration
[00:20:03] and production business, having produced an average of
[00:20:06] 131,000 barrels per day, up 14%
[00:20:09] from last
[00:20:10] year.
[00:20:16] It's mid-October and a new heatwave is coming with
[00:20:19] temperatures that could reach 30°C
[00:20:23] in
[00:20:23] Portugal.
[00:20:29] The Pope is expected to be admitted tomorrow and operated on
[00:20:32] Wednesday. Leo XIV will be hospitalized and operated
[00:20:36] on at the hospital in Rome for the removal of a nodule in
[00:20:40] his lung. The pontiff maintained a busy schedule this
[00:20:43] Monday, holding seven previously scheduled meetings
[00:20:47] for tomorrow. The head of the Catholic Church,
[00:20:50] 71 years old, revealed on Sunday that the nodule was discovered in a recent
[00:20:54] examination. It was well contained and had been detected
[00:20:57] early.
[00:21:02] The rector of the Sanctuary of Fátima remains optimistic about
[00:21:06] a possible visit by the Pope next
[00:21:09] pilgrimage, participants in the
[00:21:13] pray for the health of
[00:21:20] "They left Alcássovas in the district of Évora and already
[00:21:24] close to the finish line they received the news. As always we pray for
[00:21:27] him, but in a special way we ask for the intentions of the Holy
[00:21:31] Father and for the health of the Holy Father at this moment. We hope, as
[00:21:35] those from Alentejo already tell us, that he will get over this quickly. The topic
[00:21:39] ends up marking the
[00:21:41] pilgrimage. Always with the attention that Fátima also
[00:21:45] had to the figure of the Holy Father and we are very supportive
[00:21:48] of him and. "Our prayer that rises from here
[00:21:52] to God and that involves so many people in the church in the
[00:21:56] world, we hope that we can have good
[00:21:59] news. I don't know if any
[00:22:01] coincidence, tomorrow, the day of
[00:22:06] 13th, we have already had other cases in the past,
[00:22:10] not that we are going to make that spiritual
[00:22:14] exploration here, but it is an added
[00:22:18] motivation among the..." Testimonies of
[00:22:21] concern and hope about
[00:22:24] the Pope's health are recorded. He has always been a man since he was
[00:22:28] elected that we got used to seeing with that smile of his, that spontaneity
[00:22:31] of his, that joyful way of living. I never
[00:22:35] thought that from one moment to another we would have this news with
[00:22:39] some concern, eh, he
[00:22:41] is a young man, isn't he?
[00:22:45] and he always requires some kind of
[00:22:48] care, but "I believe he will be able to
[00:22:52] overcome it. We include in our prayer, eh, besides
[00:22:55] all friends and family, we also include the Pope's health, that
[00:22:59] everything goes well and everything will go well for
[00:23:02] sure, let's see if he stays here," an optimism shared
[00:23:06] by the rector of the Sanctuary within the scope of the invitation for Leo
[00:23:10] XIV to visit Fátima. It is merely
[00:23:13] a deep conviction that eh the
[00:23:16] Pope may come, or that it is very likely that the Pope will come next year."
[00:23:20] "This news of the Pope's health problem
[00:23:23] does not make me lose my optimism. It is the
[00:23:26] last international anniversary pilgrimage of the
[00:23:29] year, in a cycle that begins in May and ends in October at the
[00:23:33] Sanctuary of Fátima.
[00:23:37] A 14-year-old student from a high school in the Marseille region
[00:23:40] opened fire on teachers. The student brought a weapon
[00:23:44] hidden in his guitar case and shot three
[00:23:47] teachers, although not seriously.
[00:23:51] The reunion between parents and children marks the end of the
[00:23:54] distress.
[00:23:57] Hundreds of students from this school in Bagneaux on the outskirts of Marseille
[00:24:00] were locked in classrooms for hours.
[00:24:06] In the corridors, a 14-year-old colleague shot at teachers.
[00:24:20] charger son arme du coup nous on était en panique a couru et du
[00:24:23] coup bah ce qui se passe c'est qu'après du coup nous on court
[00:24:27] premier étage avait du sang. The blood
[00:24:29] belonged to the three injured: a school director and two teachers. Two of them are still
[00:24:33] hospitalized. It was the courage of an employee that prevented the teenager
[00:24:37] from continuing to shoot sur l'intention on ne
[00:24:41] sait pas encore puisque les constatations sont en cours s'il
[00:24:44] les avisait en tout état de cause ces deux personnes ont été
[00:24:48] blessées au niveau des membres inférieurs.
[00:24:52] The young man, considered calm and without a police record,
[00:24:56] will be interrogated to understand his motivations. This
[00:24:59] incident had nothing to do with the student movement. However,
[00:25:02] protests by students and
[00:25:06] teachers continue in hundreds of
[00:25:09] high schools.
[00:25:11] The number of universities that are blocked is also increasing.
[00:25:15] Emmanuel Macron insists that the executive is making an effort and calls for
[00:25:18] non-violence. après moi je ne serais
[00:25:21] évidemment pas approuvé en quoi que ce soit ou justifier quelques
[00:25:25] violence et ce qu'on a pu voir
[00:25:28] chez les lycéens et chez tous ceux qui n'étant plus lycéens viennent profiter de tout cela
[00:25:32] pour brûler, destroy or lead to
[00:25:35] violence,
[00:25:38] this Tuesday will be another day of high tension, dozens
[00:25:41] of demonstrations have been called for the
[00:25:50] The European Union approved new sanctions against people and entities
[00:25:54] linked to Russia. Brussels wants to limit
[00:25:57] Moscow's military capability at a time when Donald Trump is trying to
[00:26:01] help Russia. selling diesel, European
[00:26:05] foreign ministers are seeking in Luxembourg to tighten the noose
[00:26:08] on Moscow, the meeting takes place after the announcement of a ceasefire on
[00:26:12] Russian and Ukrainian energy infrastructures, but it is still
[00:26:16] unclear, we should put the pressure on Russia so that
[00:26:19] they they will stop, because if they stop, Ukrainians
[00:26:23] also don't have to uh, take any steps to
[00:26:27] defend that country, and and that is what is
[00:26:30] all at stake, so so this...
[00:26:41] What is certain is the approval of sanctions against about 1600 people and
[00:26:44] entities, more than half linked to the ballistic missile production chain.
[00:26:47] All these measures contribute, as I said, to
[00:26:51] heavy, to aggravate the
[00:26:54] bill that Vladimir Putin is paying in this in
[00:26:57] this colonial and imperialist war that must
[00:27:00] imperatively cease.
[00:27:03] The decision also comes in a context of hybrid attacks attributed to Russia in
[00:27:07] European territory and contrasts with the agreement between Trump and
[00:27:10] Putin that would allow Moscow to return to selling diesel on the American
[00:27:14] and global markets. The rapprochement between Washington and Moscow puts
[00:27:18] Europeans in front of another difficulty, joining the
[00:27:21] recent tension caused by American sanctions on the
[00:27:24] International Criminal Court. For now, Europeans
[00:27:27] reaffirm their support for Kiev and ask the United States to
[00:27:39] elections to be held in Ukraine. These truces had
[00:27:43] been demanded by Donald Trump, who had announced a truce in
[00:27:47] Russian and Ukrainian attacks against energy targets.
[00:27:50] But Moscow ignored this statement from Trump and continued
[00:27:54] the bombardments of energy targets and residential areas of
[00:27:58] Ukraine, causing the death of at least three civilians in
[00:28:01] the large. archive, second largest city in the
[00:28:04] country. It lasted less than a couple of hours on the
[00:28:08] Russian side, Sarofogalvos Energéticos between Moscow and
[00:28:11] Kiev, announced by Donald Trump on
[00:28:14] Friday.
[00:28:19] The first target to be hit with a Russian guided bomb was a power plant in
[00:28:22] Kharkiv, the second largest Ukrainian
[00:28:25] city. And from there, the deadly attacks on
[00:28:29] civilian residential areas were also resumed, including in the same
[00:28:33] region, the Kremlin's statements show Moscow's position
[00:28:37] regarding a cessation of hostilities.
[00:28:40] We have repeatedly said, President Putin and at other
[00:28:44] levels, we want not
[00:28:48] a truce, we want long-term peace
[00:28:51] and we are ready to do everything possible for this.
[00:28:54] Trump would have
[00:28:57] agreed.
[00:29:00] Zelensky reacted in surprise to the announcement, but guaranteed that he would adhere to
[00:29:03] it, if Moscow also did, which was not the
[00:29:07] case,
[00:29:10] causing irritation among allies and even Republican
[00:29:12] sectors, Trump announced that he had agreed with Putin
[00:29:16] on a massive purchase of Russian crude, the main
[00:29:20] source of financing for the Kremlin's war machine.
[00:29:22] This is out of the question. Russia
[00:29:27] will only seriously negotiate under pressure and that is why.
[00:29:30] arguing that the decision was made
[00:29:48] solely in the interest of the American
[00:29:52] people, even in this meeting with Vladimir, the
[00:29:55] American president pressured Zelensky to call
[00:29:58] elections in Ukraine, the Ukrainian president accepted
[00:30:01] to do so, proposing a suspension of the war for two months.
[00:30:05] Moscow replied that Ukraine does not deserve it, and
[00:30:08] at most, agrees to stop the attacks for only
[00:30:12] one day, of voting.
[00:30:14] The Supreme Commander of NATO's Allied Forces
[00:30:18] issued a warning to Russia. American General
[00:30:21] Alexus Grenkovic said that the
[00:30:24] Alliance does not want war, but is ready to fight
[00:30:28] tonight, in a speech at the forum of...
[00:30:32] Across the Alliance, we're taking steps
[00:31:02] to operationalize this theory and maximize the readiness of our
[00:31:06] forces. If attacked, we are ready to fight tonight, but we are
[00:31:09] not complacent. We will continue to prepare and rehearse.
[00:31:13] Saudi Arabia announced that it will
[00:31:21] respond to the Houthi attacks. Iran's Yemeni
[00:31:24] allies killed more than a dozen people in Saudi Arabia
[00:31:28] this weekend and again launched a missile, but the
[00:31:31] projectile was intercepted.
[00:31:34] This Monday, King Khalid Airport in Riyadh, the second
[00:31:38] busiest in Saudi Arabia, remained
[00:31:41] closed and will remain so until Saturday, in a statement to the Civil
[00:31:45] Aviation Authority, which informed that all activities are
[00:31:48] suspended until security and operational
[00:31:51] readiness of the facilities are restored. All this,
[00:31:55] after the attacks by the Houthi rebels this weekend,
[00:31:59] which caused at least 14 deaths and more than 300
[00:32:03] injured. The Saudi government has already
[00:32:06] promised to
[00:32:07] retaliate.
[00:33:03] causing floods that in Nepal destroyed trails,
[00:33:06] pedestrian bridges. There are no records of fatalities, but
[00:33:10] five local residents are reported missing.
[00:33:12] Last
[00:33:17] month was the second hottest September ever in Europe,
[00:33:20] average temperatures broke records in Western
[00:33:24] Europe and also reached the highest values ever in
[00:33:27] extra-tropical oceans.
[00:33:30] The data was released this
[00:33:34] Monday by the European program's Copernicus Climate Change
[00:33:37] Service. In September, the average global
[00:33:41] temperature was 1.5%. 63°C
[00:33:45] above pre-industrial levels. In
[00:33:48] much of Europe, the month was exceptionally hot
[00:33:51] and dry. It was even the second hottest ever
[00:33:54] in some regions of Western Europe. Copernicus
[00:33:57] also highlights exceptionally high
[00:34:01] sea surface temperatures in much of the tropical
[00:34:04] Pacific, where conditions associated with the El
[00:34:08] Niño phenomenon are intensifying. In the El
[00:34:10] Niño region, the sea surface temperature reached
[00:34:14] a record 29.70°C in September.
[00:34:17] Also in Europe, record
[00:34:20] values were recorded for the month of September along the Atlantic coast and the
[00:34:24] western Mediterranean. Hot
[00:34:27] September and hot
[00:34:29] October too. In Portugal, high temperatures
[00:34:32] will remain for at least this week.
[00:34:36] Thermometers can exceed 30
[00:34:39] degrees. The district of Castel Branco, the district of Santarém
[00:34:43] to Évora,
[00:34:45] it will essentially be here that temperatures will be recorded between 28 maximum
[00:34:49] and possibly reaching 33 in some places, at the weekend temperatures
[00:34:53] should drop, this is not the first time this
[00:34:56] year that Copernicus reports record
[00:35:00] temperatures, August 2026 was the
[00:35:03] hottest month ever recorded worldwide,
[00:35:07] the heat returns to Portugal from tomorrow.
[00:35:11] Maximums rise throughout the country and can reach
[00:35:15] 30 degrees. when people were already sighing
[00:35:18] with relief with the
[00:35:20] cooler air, this is what awaits us for the next
[00:35:24] few days. until Wednesday, the temperature will gradually rise,
[00:35:27] especially the maximum temperature and it is expected that
[00:35:31] Wednesday will be the hottest
[00:35:34] day. Tuesday, maximum temperatures begin to
[00:35:37] rise throughout the country, in the center Santarém
[00:35:40] reaches 29. 9 degrees, Castelo
[00:35:44] Branco at 30, Lisbon, 27. Évora
[00:35:47] is the hottest city with 31 degrees. On
[00:35:50] Wednesday, thermometers rise even further, reaching
[00:35:54] 32 degrees in Lisbon, Santarém and
[00:35:57] Évora, reaching 33, but
[00:36:00] it's a short-lived sunshine, from Saturday, everything
[00:36:03] changes. Everything indicates that from the 17th, temperature
[00:36:07] values will start to... drop, we will have an entry of colder air
[00:36:11] and with higher humidity content, eh, precipitation
[00:36:15] may return next week and, therefore,
[00:36:19] the temperature will be the first variation, and
[00:36:22] the temperature starts to drop already next Saturday,
[00:36:25] nights have already been colder, from next week
[00:36:29] also days will be cooler, it is
[00:36:33] therefore expected that this week will truly be the
[00:36:36] farewell to summer.
[00:36:39] The judiciary seized nearly 4 tons of
[00:36:43] cocaine off the coast of
[00:36:46] Faro, the drug was being transported in speedboats
[00:36:50] and was destined for... Europe.
[00:36:53] South of Faro, about 80 miles off the coast, authorities
[00:36:57] located a speedboat that was already
[00:37:00] referenced. After an unsuccessful order to stop,
[00:37:03] a chase ensued. On board were two Spaniards
[00:37:06] and an Englishman. One of the Spaniards was injured during the
[00:37:09] police operation and ended up dying. This
[00:37:13] unfortunate accident, eh, was due to the
[00:37:17] collision of one vessel with another. We are talking
[00:37:20] about speeds greater than 50
[00:37:24] knots, 55 knots, so we are talking about speeds close to
[00:37:27] 100 km/h
[00:37:31] on the high seas, so and there is an inherent
[00:37:35] risk to these pursuits. Operation
[00:37:38] Mare Nostrum involved national, Italian
[00:37:41] and Spanish authorities, nearly four tons of
[00:37:45] cocaine were seized and a criminal network whose main
[00:37:49] market was Europe was dismantled. We are
[00:37:53] facing yet another criminal structure of...
[00:37:55] of international features that has as its main scope, as
[00:37:59] its main purpose to bring large quantities of
[00:38:02] cocaine into Europe through this modus
[00:38:06] operandi that has also been widely
[00:38:09] used in recent times,
[00:38:12] I am talking about drug speedboats, high-speed vessels, on the Portuguese
[00:38:16] coast, seizures of fuel used to
[00:38:20] supply speedboats in drug trafficking are also
[00:38:23] multiplying, stored in various police
[00:38:27] facilities, the fuel is often donated, the fuel, as
[00:38:31] a rule, if it is in a condition to be used,
[00:38:35] is delivered to multiple
[00:38:38] entities, firefighters, municipalities, so there is
[00:38:42] a lot of work done to make use of it, also
[00:38:45] because, if it is stored for a long time, it loses
[00:38:49] its characteristics. The investigation began 6 months
[00:38:52] ago and is still ongoing, the two suspects will be brought before
[00:38:55] the first judicial interrogation this
[00:38:58] Tuesday.
[00:39:00] The Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded to two Americans.
[00:39:04] Much of the work of Robert Hole and Michael Woodford was
[00:39:07] dedicated to understanding how economic models can be
[00:39:11] based not only on statistical connections, but also on the
[00:39:14] actions of companies and families.
[00:39:17] How also the micro-decisions
[00:39:20] of families and companies influence the
[00:39:23] macroeconomy, just like the statistician. awarded for the
[00:40:06] investigations that sought to understand how consumer
[00:40:09] choices, savings, investment,
[00:40:13] influence the functioning of the macroeconomy, they helped
[00:40:16] to develop more robust economic models to
[00:40:20] understand and evaluate the effects of economic
[00:40:24] policy decisions. The economy was the last
[00:40:57] prize this year to be announced,
[00:41:01] and will be awarded in December.
[00:44:05] live next on the
[00:44:08] newscast of all people, your
[00:44:12] family, who do you think could have reasons to get
[00:44:15] rid of you? Love
[00:49:13] politics. The former prime minister said
[00:49:15] that he will if the PSD is not
[00:49:19] successful. Passos Coelho defended that his
[00:49:23] party had an obligation to have tried an agreement with Chega
[00:49:26] and with the Liberal Initiative and accused the government of
[00:49:30] having been slow to advance with
[00:49:32] reforms, he stated for the first time what had
[00:49:36] long been suspected about a possible return to active
[00:49:39] politics. This would have to correspond to a situation in which the PSD,
[00:49:43] visibly, did not have the possibility of delivering
[00:49:47] a satisfactory result given what
[00:49:50] the country needs, I would think.
[00:49:52] that I could do it if that happens, I will consider
[00:49:56] it and take an initiative, if necessary. Pedro Passos Coelho
[00:50:00] denies preparing any candidacy, despite the criticisms
[00:50:03] he has made of the current leadership of the party. He says that
[00:50:08] management and that agreements with the PS and with Chega have
[00:50:12] prevented the government from carrying out deep reforms. They got into a
[00:50:16] very complicated political trap, because now it's too late to
[00:50:19] go back and try to make a legislative agreement. It was
[00:50:22] rejected, on the other hand, a good part
[00:50:26] of the reforms, if they are worthy of that name, which are reforms that
[00:50:30] need popular support and that need parliamentary
[00:50:32] support, probably do not have it, see what happened with the labor
[00:50:36] reform, it is because the country is not governable, the responsibility
[00:50:38] here also has to be of Chega and of the
[00:50:42] Liberal Initiative, two political forces that he considers
[00:50:45] essential for a governmental solution that should have been explored
[00:50:49] at the beginning, especially with the party of André. I know
[00:50:53] him enough to think that he is a person who has
[00:50:57] a lot of merit, if he hadn't created a party with the expression that it
[00:51:00] has today and that he is a politician who has
[00:51:04] shown a remarkable power of initiative.
[00:51:07] The former prime minister recognizes that there are
[00:51:10] parties that want to grow at the expense of popular
[00:51:13] dissatisfaction. In the case of Chega, he says that the absence of
[00:51:16] governmental responsibilities allows them to present proposals without
[00:51:20] the need to subject them to the test of
[00:51:22] reality.
[00:51:25] Miguel Pinto Luz was until now the only member of the government to react,
[00:51:29] the current Minister of Infrastructures, who was also
[00:51:32] part of the former prime minister's team, said that Passos
[00:51:36] Coelho's words did not cause any discomfort
[00:51:39] and stressed that it would be unwise for an executive
[00:51:43] not to listen to the positions of a former head of
[00:51:46] government. We don't have to agree on everything, always, we don't have to
[00:51:50] agree on all matters. and so there are times when
[00:51:53] we disagree, it's healthy, so there's no pressure at all,
[00:51:57] there's no discomfort
[00:52:00] or unease around the words. The government is absolutely
[00:52:04] convinced of the path it is forging, this does not mean that we cannot
[00:52:08] listen, and listening to a person like Dr. Pedro Passos Coelho, who was prime
[00:52:11] minister of Portugal, at such a difficult moment in the country's
[00:52:15] life, would be almost an act of recklessness
[00:52:18] if we were not capable of listening to someone who was prime minister of
[00:52:22] Portugal. André Ventura's
[00:52:25] reaction to hear now in response to Vítor
[00:52:29] Gonçalves' questions. Good evening André Aventura, thank you very much for being on RTP.
[00:52:33] Newscast, Pedro Passos Coelho, as we saw earlier, advocates that
[00:52:37] the right-wing should form a governing majority in an interview with CIC
[00:52:40] Notícias, do you think that such an understanding would still be
[00:52:43] possible in the current legislature if the PSD
[00:52:46] leadership accepted that proposal? Good evening, thank you for the
[00:52:49] invitation to be here on RTP, hh, no and it would never
[00:52:53] be possible with this current leadership of the PSD, it would never
[00:52:57] be possible, I'll give you an example, I would never be in a government where Luís Neves was also in the government,
[00:53:00] that would be out of the question, I think no
[00:53:04] Chega leader, no Chega member
[00:53:07] would accept to be in a government, eh, where there
[00:53:10] are suspicions of irregularities, of illegalities, where there are things that are not well explained,
[00:53:14] so I think that time has passed, frankly, but there was a time when Pedro
[00:53:17] Passos Coelho is right, that should have been put on the table, that was the time when we
[00:53:21] put it on the table, after the 2024 elections, we said, the country
[00:53:25] has to free itself from subsidy dependence on socialism, from
[00:53:28] the corruption of socialism, we have to make a majority here to have room to
[00:53:32] do these things and it was Luís Montenegro and this PSD that
[00:53:36] didn't want to, look, now Chega is ahead of the PSD in the polls, so now
[00:53:40] the PSD comes to say, after all now it makes sense to have an agreement, in many
[00:53:44] polls, not all, but in the last two we have, one from CNN,
[00:53:47] another from Diário de Notícias, Chega is ahead of the PSD, so now I
[00:53:51] think it's time to start building another majority, a majority of reforms
[00:53:55] that the country needs, but not necessarily a majority that the PSD
[00:53:58] leader, a majority that Chega can lead, so now Chega says no, no,
[00:54:02] no, no, that's not what it's about, I don't have, first of all, I'm not I'm not vindictive, nor do I think that the
[00:54:06] party is, I don't see my life that way, nor the party's, if the
[00:54:09] circumstances are the circumstances, Prime Minister
[00:54:12] Luis Monte Nego chose to follow a path as he is doing, which is neither
[00:54:16] reformist, nor truly a break
[00:54:20] with the past that we should have broken from socialism
[00:54:23] and he chose the path of trying to isolate himself, it's a strategy
[00:54:27] that's not illegitimate, he won the elections, he was ahead of Chega, that's
[00:54:30] clear, now they just can't have made all these messes, by the way, Vítor.
[00:54:43] It is Chega that doesn't allow the PSD to make reforms because it doesn't approve them, I'll tell you this
[00:54:47] very directly, in fact, we don't approve
[00:54:50] reform the government has is to end the control of the Court of
[00:54:54] Accounts over the prior visa to remove most of the contracts
[00:54:58] from the court's control and allow corruption, we will not allow that, that is, in this
[00:55:02] rental situation, I'll give you the example of rental, if...
[00:55:05] it was made viable with conditions and with the condition of being altered,
[00:55:08] let me give you this example, if the great idea that the government has for rental is for
[00:55:12] deposits to have no limits, that whoever rents a house may have to pay a
[00:55:16] deposit of €20,000 or €30,000 . So that's why we only want
[00:55:19] rich foreigners in our country instead of having Portuguese people
[00:55:23] living in houses, that is, these are not reforms, these are bad reforms, and therefore
[00:55:26] we will be against them there, you are in disagreement with Pedro Passos Coelho, no, I don't
[00:55:30] think I'm in disagreement, that is, there are things that
[00:55:34] labor reform. No, and the age of reform, that is, we,
[00:55:37] oh Vítor, I defend that the retirement age should be lowered, because I think people are
[00:55:41] tired of working to support this state, we've already talked about this, now
[00:55:45] I don't know if Pedro Passos Coelho was also referring to the labor
[00:55:48] code, that is, being able to dismiss an entire group of
[00:55:52] people to outsource them to an external company, is this a reform? For
[00:55:56] us, this is not a reform, this is a regression, but do you think that
[00:55:59] essentially, at this moment in the relationship between the PST and Chega, it is
[00:56:03] mainly the ideas or is it? personal dimension and the difficulty of the relationship
[00:56:07] between the two leaders, do you understand the question? I think there are, that is, I think there are two
[00:56:10] things, there is a certain loss of confidence, that is evident, I cannot
[00:56:13] see in the Prime Minister the political
[00:56:17] authority after what I saw Luis Neves do
[00:56:20] before the Prime Minister and before the country and which took away all his authority, the Prime
[00:56:24] Minister decided not to act, I cannot take this Prime Minister with credibility and
[00:56:28] authority, but there are things that distinguish us from the PSD as well
[00:56:31] and the case of pensions is one of those, we really think that...
[00:56:35] the retirement age should be lowered, we will put that in the state budget, we really
[00:56:38] think that the minimum pension should increase, Luis Montenegro thinks that this
[00:56:41] is giving handouts, when we have 20%
[00:56:45] of our retirees at risk of poverty, so there are also fundamental
[00:56:49] differences in ideas here, it's not just personality, earlier we heard the statements from
[00:56:52] Pedro Passos Coelho, I felt that André Ventura reacted with
[00:56:56] contentment when I heard Passos Coelho say that André Ventura is a politician with considerable
[00:57:00] merit and remarkable initiative, first I ask you if
[00:57:03] that surprised you. And how do you compare that with recent statements
[00:57:07] from Hugo Soares who said in parliament that you are, and I will
[00:57:10] quote, a liar? It's because there are two, there is a different PSD, there is the
[00:57:14] PSD that wants to make reforms and is willing to cut. In that
[00:57:17] past, whoever calls me a liar is whoever doesn't want to fight
[00:57:21] corruption, whoever doesn't want, we are always liars, whoever doesn't want to raise pensions, we
[00:57:24] are always liars, that is, this story of the VAT on
[00:57:28] fuels, the country is being robbed on fuels every day, every
[00:57:32] day, the Spanish laugh at
[00:57:35] us, despite having higher salaries, we tell the Prime Minister, we have to
[00:57:39] lower the VAT on fuels and it is possible, look, don't put money into
[00:57:42] REN, lower the VAT on fuels, liar,
[00:57:45] populist, Pedro Passos Coelho didn't say that, Pedro.
[00:57:49] He said: have the courage to make changes, to make
[00:57:52] reforms, I see more of this side of having to
[00:57:55] do things than properly this
[00:57:58] argument of this PSD of Montenegro, Hugo Soares,
[00:58:02] etc. who are no longer bringing anything good to the country. Now I think Pedro Passos
[00:58:07] that, also had the clarity and foresight to say that
[00:58:10] he also disagrees with me on some things, for example, lowering the
[00:58:14] retirement age, an example of that, I still think that the retirement age should be lowered.
[00:58:18] some more time to talk about the interview with Pedro Passos Coelho
[00:58:21] later in this interview, but for now I would like to know your position on the
[00:58:24] state budget, two or three questions, four days after the
[00:58:27] presentation of the budget, Chega has already decided what it will do in the budget
[00:58:31] vote, we are obviously analyzing this budget but on the basis of this
[00:58:34] assumption that it is, with everything we received from the government, a bad
[00:58:38] budget, I was talking to you earlier about the bad budget, will you vote against it? We
[00:58:42] are a responsible party and a responsible party looks at the proposals, talks
[00:58:46] with the government about... the possibility of changing, of modifying some things
[00:58:50] and decides, I was talking to you about the VAT on fuels, because in fact, we
[00:58:53] pay more than 50% of what we pay for fuels in taxes, why am I talking
[00:58:57] about this? Because a resolution project was approved in parliament in
[00:59:00] July that said that Chega wanted to lower the VAT
[00:59:03] on fuels and on food items, we are today with an
[00:59:07] absolutely unavoidable price of more than
[00:59:10] €255 for the food basket, we want to put zero VAT
[00:59:13] on that basket, it was approved in parliament, what do we expect now?
[00:59:17] After it has been approved in parliament is that it should be in the state budget, when
[00:59:21] we see, the government still does not want to lower taxes
[00:59:25] on fuels in the state budget, I ask Vítor, what
[00:59:29] is the money for then? I see the Minister of Finance saying: well, but
[00:59:32] we have to fight to have a surplus here and we have to have balanced
[00:59:35] accounts, but at the cost of the misery of
[00:59:38] people, for example, the proposal to lower the
[00:59:42] VAT on fuels plus the exemption of VAT or zero
[00:59:46] VAT on essential goods. The suspension of toll payments on some
[00:59:49] of those tolls, what would be the financial impact of those measures? We are talking about around
[00:59:53] 1,500, 1,500, 1.5 million
[00:59:57] euros, we, therefore, it would be the return of the deficit, it's the opposite, I will give you
[01:00:01] an example, today we learned that instead of spending 300 and something million on REN, which
[01:00:04] nobody understood why, your energy probably didn't go down, mine didn't either, it didn't
[01:00:08] go down, it explained that it has to do with the possibility of the Portuguese state also being in the
[01:00:11] administration of a company where two states are present, I would understand all
[01:00:15] that if people were not suffocating at the... gasoline stations as they are now, I
[01:00:19] would understand all that, if people did not go to the supermarket now and were not suffocating to
[01:00:22] buy fish, meat, milk, all that, therefore, at this moment we
[01:00:26] needed a state that was able to take a little bit of the money it has and
[01:00:30] give it to the people, that is, we spent on REN according to today's data,
[01:00:33] more or less, between 500 and 560 million euros,
[01:00:37] this would be enough to lower the VAT on fuels until February, until
[01:00:40] February, that is, this is not about deficit or
[01:00:44] accounts, it is about political choices, now my political
[01:00:47] choice would be to give something back to people because they are already in a country where
[01:00:51] they are drained of a large part of taxes, I know that this sometimes may seem
[01:00:55] a bit like populism but but but look at this, we have a
[01:00:58] state budget and a state that gives housing subsidies to government officials,
[01:01:02] they have a subsidy to come live in Lisbon for housing for state secretaries, for
[01:01:06] government officials, etc. but there is no support for teachers for housing, for doctors for
[01:01:09] housing, that is, teachers in some areas have
[01:01:13] subsidies
[01:01:15] especially, for example, in Lisbon, for teachers from outside. Then it depends on the municipal councils, but
[01:01:19] notice, does it make sense that a minister who earns €5,000 or €6,000 has a
[01:01:23] housing subsidy and a doctor or a nurse or
[01:01:26] a teacher or an assistant who has to travel and who can no longer find a house
[01:01:30] neither in Lisbon nor in Porto nor in Braga does not have one. This is not a matter of deficit, this
[01:01:33] is a matter of choices, the government has made bad choices, that's the truth, one last question
[01:01:37] in this initial segment of our interview, the Minister of Finance said that whoever
[01:01:41] proposes measures that increase expenditure without revenue counterparts,
[01:01:45] will be responsible for the imbalance of public accounts, do you
[01:01:49] accept this responsibility, are you willing to be the man of the deficit, look, I told
[01:01:53] the Minister of Finance and I had to tell him face to face, one thing,
[01:01:56] 6% of our budget, of GDP, 6% of
[01:02:00] our GDP, about 20 million euros, we spend every year
[01:02:03] on bureaucracy and waste, 20 million euros, that would be enough to lower the
[01:02:07] VAT on fuels, to put zero VAT on the food basket and end all
[01:02:11] tolls in the country, the government can say that this is
[01:02:14] difficult to do, but it cannot say that there is no money to do it,
[01:02:18] what the government has chosen to do is something else, to continue to fatten the
[01:02:22] state, to continue to distribute subsidies in an
[01:02:25] absolutely absurd way, we had a news
[01:02:29] from ECO just to say. This is ECO, it's not a news from Chega, it's ECO, from the newspaper
[01:02:32] ECO, which did the math, 590 million
[01:02:36] euros were paid last year in subsidies, without knowing
[01:02:39] to whom, or why, but then we don't have 300 or 400 million
[01:02:43] to lower the VAT on fuels until February, I mean, I don't
[01:02:46] understand this, is André Ventura wrong or is the government wrong, I think the government
[01:02:50] is wrong, and this segment of the interview ends here, it's a conversation with
[01:02:54] André Ventura, coming up in a few moments on RTP
[01:02:57] Notícias, Vítor. So with the interview with
[01:03:01] André Ventura. The Gazeta Television Award was
[01:03:05] awarded to an RTP report, Traficantes, which was broadcast on
[01:03:09] the story of Brazilian women who are
[01:03:13] recruited by criminal networks to transport
[01:03:16] cocaine in their stomachs, in their intestines, to
[01:03:33] in Portuguese
