In Portugal, the end of the tax haven for foreign retirees
Portugal is ending its tax exemptions for foreign retirees, a policy that had attracted many to the country. Prime Minister Antonio Costa announced the change, citing the need to address fiscal fairness and housing market inflation. The policy had benefited around 10,000 retirees, mainly from France, the UK, and Italy, and 45,000 high-value professionals. The end of these tax advantages is expected to impact the real estate market, which has seen significant price increases. The Portuguese government is also facing criticism for insufficient measures to address housing shortages and rising costs for locals. Economic forecasts indicate moderate growth and a slight increase in unemployment in the coming years.

Fact Check: Video proves Marcelo lied when he said he was unaware of the invitation to Lula to speak at the April 25 ceremony?
A video shared on social media purportedly shows Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa lying about his knowledge of an invitation to Brazilian President Lula da Silva to speak at the official April 25 ceremonies. However, the video, aired by RTP, is taken out of context; it does not show Marcelo mentioning the speech but only discussing Lula's visit coinciding with April 25. The Assembly of the Republic, not the President, decides the session's agenda. The controversy escalated after a premature announcement by the Foreign Affairs Minister, João Gomes Cravinho. Political reactions were mixed, with some criticizing and others supporting the visit. Ultimately, it was decided that Lula could attend and speak at a separate welcome session but not during the April 25 ceremony. The content is deemed misleading by the Observador's classification system and partially false by Facebook's standards.

One-party state: from absolute victory to survival by a thread
The article discusses the political instability and perceived governability issues in Portugal under the current Socialist Party government led by Prime Minister António Costa. It highlights the government's lack of transparency, abuse of power, nepotism, and inability to foster economic growth or reform. The piece suggests that the government's actions have led to a disconnect between the Portuguese people and the political class, potentially paving the way for anti-system parties and weakening democratic institutions. The author argues that despite the government's portrayal of a positive scenario, the reality is a country in political crisis, with the government's survival attributed to the lack of a strong alternative and the President's reluctance to dissolve parliament.

Youth mental health funding skewed toward treatment, not prevention, says new report
The report 'A vision for youth mental wellbeing in Europe' highlights the need for a shift in mental health funding from treatment to prevention and promotion. It emphasizes early identification and proactive strategies to address mental health challenges among youth. Despite evidence of cost-effectiveness, preventive programs receive less funding compared to treatment. The report calls for a rebalancing of priorities to support long-term systemic change, with examples from France and Portugal integrating mental health promotion into education policies. The report underscores the importance of equipping young people with emotional resilience and creating supportive environments through community-based approaches.
