In search of a leader

Expresso15 September 2026 at 07:03

Ursula von der Leyen and Mark Carney are in Strasbourg to discuss the future of the West. Both have reasons to be concerned about the current situation. However, according to the article, they lack the essential elements to face the challenges: a truly common vision and an economy that allows them to realize so much ambition.

Why this matters

This analysis is of interest to readers in Portugal and Europe because it questions the European leaders' ability to respond to current challenges, from geopolitical competition to economic sustainability, raising doubts about whether political promises have practical correspondence. The reference to Von der Leyen and Carney suggests the debate goes beyond rhetoric and touches on structural issues of Western power.

With secretary of JHC investigated for contributions to Master, MPF says it may 'deepen' investigation into ex-mayor's role

The removal of secrecy from documents in the investigation into Banco Master opened a new front in the case of the R$ 97 million invested by the Maceió Municipal Public Servants' Pension Institute (Iprev) during the administration of former mayor João Henrique Caldas (JHC). The Federal Police treats Municipal Finance Secretary João Felipe Alves Borges as an investigated party and requested access to his banking, tax, and digital data. The Federal Public Ministry considers it possible to deepen the investigation into JHC's conduct, who had legal responsibility for the institute before the Ministry of Social Security. By note, JHC denies irregularities and reaffirms that he is not investigated.
