Good morning! Here’s a roundup of today’s major topics in the national press for this Wednesday.
Diário de Notícias reports that immigration flow is expected to drop by nearly half by 2027, while Público notes that schools are set to lose 59,000 students over the next decade, yet the need to hire 3,800 teachers annually will persist.
Sábado details the ramp-up in pressure on Montenegro amid new developments in the Spinumviva case, and Correio da Manhã indicates the economic growth rate will rise to 1.9% this year, with IRS reductions boosting GDP.
Jornal de Notícias highlights a poll showing the PSD and PS neck and neck in the race for Porto: Pedro Duarte has a slight lead at 33.1%, just two-tenths of a point ahead of Manuel Pizarro at 32.9%. Meanwhile, Negócios states that the lowest pensions should see real gains by 2026. Finally, O Jornal Económico discusses how renewable projects in the US are facing significant challenges under Trump.
