In this news review episode, host Carl Munson is joined by Paul Rees of Rural Properties, in Central Portugal, to discuss three top stories from The Resident:
the long-running EN125 road deadlock in the Algarve – especially east of Olhão – linked to an old Rota Este do Algarve contract, arbitration delays, and suspected hidden clauses.
Lufthansa’s move to take a minority stake in TAP, with pilots optimistic, other unions wary, and concerns about taxpayer losses and future labour friction.
Finishing with Portugal missing its electronic waste recycling targets, with criticism of weak enforcement, an inactive monitoring committee, and broader shortcomings in waste management despite EU rules and support.
The pair close by stressing the role of media scrutiny, public pressure, and EU oversight in driving political will and accountability.
We welcome your views too, and suggestions of topics and tangents that they might explore behind and beyond the headlines, as well as guest reviewers to join us.
Published Fridays 3pm.
