Good morning! Wildfires in several parts of the country continue to dominate the front pages of newspapers, with dailies like the Jornal de Notícias highlighting a “record number of fires” reported. The daily also notes that “nearly six thousand women who underwent abortions received state subsidies.”
Beyond the fires raging from north to south, other topics are in focus. “Over two thousand victims of human trafficking in Portugal,” writes Público, noting that “only 11 have been compensated in six years.”
Diário de Notícias emphasizes that “Portugal needs to revise legislation for the protection of workers from heat, experts argue.”
Negócios reports that the “Government wants to curb parents’ refusals to work on weekends.”
Correio da Manhã also covers the story of a woman and her lover who, in 2023, killed the husband of the now-defendant. The pair will now face trial for the death of Filipe Jorge, who died after 30 stab wounds.
