Good morning! The second round of the Benfica elections is among the leading topics in the newspapers this Saturday, November 8th. In addition, Luís Montenegro’s house continues to dominate headlines, alongside the rising cost of living in Portugal.
The Jornal de Notícias reports that “renting a room in Porto and Lisbon costs half of a minimum wage,” while Público highlights that “schools will lose 3,600 teachers to retirement this year.” Público also features an interview with the presidential candidate Luís Marques Mendes, who argues, “It’s only possible to have quality hospital managers through public competition.”
“Contractor of Montenegro bankrupt at the end of the work” is the headline of the Correio da Manhã, a day after it was reported that the Prime Minister spent 637 thousand euros on the construction of his house in Espinho.
The Record notes “160,000 members called to decide Benfica’s immediate future,” and O Jogo mentions the “moment of decision,” highlighting expectations for a “new record turnout at the polls.” Meanwhile, A Bola writes, “the future begins today.”
