Good morning! It’s time to look at the headlines in national newspapers this Friday, October 24.
The Expresso today releases a special edition on the death of Francisco Pinto Balsemão, the newspaper’s founder. The publication also highlights the Supreme Court’s refusal to allow inquiries into Ivo Rosa.
The Público highlights the disappearance of Laborinho Lúcio, “the magistrate who challenged the monotony of justice,” and the closure of cinemas.
The Jornal de Notícias leads with “State competitions for senior management” that “are left without candidates” and highlights the Vagos homicide, revealing that the minor who killed his mother “hid the weapon at his grandparents’ grave” after the act.
The Diário de Notícias features an interview with the Chief of the Army Staff, Mendes Ferrão, and reports that airlines “owe 145 million to passengers due to delays.”
Meanwhile, the Nascer do Sol discusses Chega, which, according to this newspaper, vetoes “coalitions without prior approval.”
The Correio da Manhã includes an interview with a mother who fears her daughter might kill her. “Nobody will institutionalize her,” she complains.
In Negócios, the headline is about the Tax Authority “limiting IRS exemption on productivity bonuses.”
The Jornal Económico, like the sports papers, emphasizes the Benfica elections.
