…the government downplayed what it calls Marcelo's "proof of life." The tension between the President of the Republic and the executive branch is tense. This may be a consequence of time, not meteorological, but rather chronological. Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa was harsh and direct regarding the Emigrants' Law and the possible closure of the Foundation for Science and Technology. Government sources told Observador that the controversy could be mitigated, and some even see Marcelo's criticism as a badge of honor to be polished and worn. Between the Palaces, the criticisms coming from Belém are nothing more than end-of-cycle flashes for those listening from São Bento. |
And is there a setback for breastfeeding rights? The Ministry of Social Security has not released figures on alleged cases of rights abuse by mothers who breastfeed children over two years old. It should be noted that this is a matter for companies. Minister Maria do Rosário Palma Ramalho 's statements have ignited public opinion and sparked debate. Criticism is mounting from left to right.

The number 20 remains with Jota forever, and in the 20th minute, the ball stopped. On the pitch and in the stands, the applause rang out in unison at Anfield, a chilling moment . The fans, the same ones who promise their fans that "You'll never walk alone ," sang "He's a lad from Portugal / Better than Figo, don't you know / Oh, his name is Diogo!" The result is less important than all this: Liverpool 3 – Athletic Club de Bilbao 2. |
