Good morning! The selection of the next Governor of the Bank of Portugal is prominently featured in almost all newspapers available on stands this Friday. “Pastry Minister at the Bank of Portugal” headlines Correio da Manhã, while Jornal Económico asks: “Álvaro has reached the top of the Bank of Portugal. What now?”
In other news, Expresso reports that “excess surgeries were demanded by Santa Maria’s administration.” The weekly publication also reveals that “limiting the right to strike could extend to schools, nurseries, and care homes.”
Jornal de Notícias notes that “police register over four thousand holiday home scams,” and Diário de Notícias features an interview with the President of the Assembly of the Republic, José Pedro Aguiar-Branco, who states: “We cannot ignore the alleged degradation of political actors as if it were random.”
“Emergency rooms closed for more than 15,000 hours in the first six months of the year” is one of the headlines in Público, and Nascer do Sol writes that “public services are collapsing with the increase in immigrants.”
