Good morning! It’s the end of another week, and it’s time to catch up with the topics making the headlines in the national newspapers this Friday, May 9. On a day when the election of the new Pope takes the spotlight, what other themes can be found in the press?
Friday is marked by the weeklies. Expresso reports that the “Government has already legalized 123,000 immigrants.” Meanwhile, Nascer do Sol features an interview with the Chega president: “Interview with André Ventura. ‘We never closed the door to conversations with the AD.'”
In the dailies, Correio da Manhã highlights “Caldas da Rainha. Doctor fired for trying to charge 75 euros per injection,” while Diário de Notícias writes “Transplants. 1083 organs collected in 2024, but half of the patients remained on the waiting list.”
“Workplace harassment. Almost 30% say they suffer threats or humiliations,” reads the front page of Público. Jornal de Notícias emphasizes: “Three thousand corruption cases shelved in a decade.”
In the economic section, Negócios underscores “Europe Day. Can the EU occupy the space left by the USA?” while Jornal Económico states “Connection to Morocco costs 325 million and reduces blackouts.”
