Portugal Israel news - Portugal’s President's advice to Hamas draws abuse by protesters who react in a way that is qualified as “abusive” towards the country's beloved President who is 74 years old. Portugal’s President was pushed and criticized by Hamas protesters following the news of his declaration to the Head of the Palestinian diplomatic mission on November 3rd. Portugal’s President was surrounded by protesters who were angry at his rational response to Palestinian representative Nabil Abuznaid to whom he replied: "This time someone from your side started it. They should not have." Portugal’s President added : "But, you know, I think it will depend a lot on you. You have to be an example of moderation". Portugal's President's advice to Hamas Portugal’s President, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, stated to the Palestinian representative that the Hamas attack of October 7th on Israeli territory does not contribute to the struggle for a sovereign state of Palestine: "They must be moderate, otherwise they lose their reason." He also explained to Palestine’s representative that “the fact that there are no two states yet does not mean that you can attack innocent people the way you did, some of you." Portugal’s President underlined that he does not confuse "the terrorist attack with the desire for peace of the Palestinian people as a whole". Portugal’s President, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, advised the Palestinian representative to rather choose to act with "calm and prudence", to be "cautious, intelligent and peaceful", arguing that, "otherwise, it becomes bad for everyone" and that "radicalism creates a climate of radicalism. And this time radicalism began on the part of some Palestinians." Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa reaffirmed that Portugal stands by the position of the United Nations that only moderation will allow peace and the construction of two states, Israel and Palestine. Portugal’s President stated the age-old adage that "it is moderation that will allow paths to what we want, that there is peace, that there is respect for people and that there is the possibility of building two states, an Israeli state and a Palestinian state." Portugal condemns the barbaric massacre by Hamas terrorists against the citizens of Israel and does not believe that terrorism can be justified. #portugalnews #newsportugal #newsportugalisrael #PortugalsPresidentabusedbyHamasprotesters #portuguesepresidenthamasdeclaration #PortugalsPresidentadvicetoHamas

Portugal news - Portugal’s budget surplus exceeds forecasts by 1 billion euros for the year 2023. Is Portugal doing well economically in 2024? Portugal achieved a historic budget surplus of 1.2% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the year 2023, exceeding the target of 0.8% that was expected to reach 2,191 million euros. Portugal’s financing capacity improved to reach over 3 billion euros, which reflects an improvement in public accounts compared to the 0.3% deficit registered in 2022. The State's financing capacity originated mainly from Social Security funds that totaled 5,670 million euros. According to the national statistics office, INE, Portugal’s budget surplus of 3,194 million euros results from an increase in revenue of 9% that is higher than the expenditure of 5.2%. The 9% increase in Portugal’s total revenue between 2022 and 2023 was driven by the 8.1% increase in current revenue. There were significant increases of 10.4% in social contributions, and of 10.7% in taxes on income and wealth. Portugal’s capital revenue increased by 68.9% compared to 2022, driven by revenue from the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR). The increase in capital expenditure was mainly due to the increase in gross capital formation of +17.5%, driven by the implementation of European funds relating to the PRR. Portugal’s favorable fiscal surplus reflects not only price increases but also the growth of economic activity and the dynamic labor market. #portugalnews #newsportugal #newsportugueseeconomy #economicnewsportugal #portugalsbudgetsurplus #portugalnationalaccounts #isportugaldoingwelleconomicallyin2024

La capacité de financement du Portugal s’est améliorée pour atteindre plus de 3 milliards d’euros, ce qui reflète une amélioration des comptes publics par rapport au déficit de 0,3% enregistré en 2022.

Les recettes publiques en capital du Portugal ont augmenté de 68,9 % par rapport à 2022, ce qui est dû aux revenus du Plan de relance et de résilience (PRR). L’augmentation des dépenses d’investissements est principalement pour l’augmentation de la formation brute de capital de +17,5%, ce qui est dû à la mise en œuvre des fonds européens relatifs au PRR. L’excédent budgétaire favorable du Portugal reflète non seulement la hausse des prix, mais aussi la croissance de l’activité économique et le dynamisme du marché du travail. #actualitésportugal #nouvellesportugal #actualitéséconomieportugaise #actualitéséconomiquesportugal #excédentbudgétaireportugal #comptespublicsportugal #leportugalseportetilbienéconomiquementen2024

Portugal news - Portuguese filigree, an ancestral Portuguese goldsmithing technique, now has an exclusive certification brand, the Contrastaria brand. Portuguese filigree will now be certified with the exclusive Contrastaria brand following the agreement signed between the public body INCM and the Municipalities of Gondomar in the district of Porto, and of Póvoa de Lanhoso in the district of Braga, where goldsmithing through the ancient art of filigree is the main activity due to the gold mines that used to be dotted around the region. Filigree is a goldsmithing technique that joins fine chains of gold into an intricate and airy piece of art through a smelting technique that makes it possible to produce a piece of gold jewelry without resorting to the use of another material or alloy. During the 17th century, Portuguese filigree already had its own unique imagery and molds that mostly represent nature, religion and love. Portuguese filigree represents nature with fish, shells, waves, and flowers; or religion with crosses, as well as love symbolized by hearts such as the iconic Heart of Viana that was first worn by Queen Maria I of Portugal in the 18th Century. Portugal’s new filigree certification brand guarantees the authenticity of the ancient Portuguese filigree goldsmithing technique, that has obtained the status of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Portugal in 2023, and protects the ancient handmade technique from industrial imitations that distort its essence and confuse consumers.

Actualités Portugal - Le filigrane portugais, une technique ancestrale d’orfèvrerie portugaise, possède désormais une marque de certification exclusive, la marque Contrastaria. Le filigrane portugais sera désormais certifié avec la marque exclusive Contrastaria suite à l’accord signé entre l’organisme public INCM et les municipalités de Gondomar dans le district de Porto, et de Póvoa de Lanhoso dans le district de Braga, où l’orfèvrerie à travers l’art antique du filigrane est l’activité principale en raison des mines d’or qui étaient parsemées autour de la région. Le filigrane est une technique d’orfèvrerie qui réunit de fines chaînes d’or en une œuvre d’art complexe et aérienne grâce à une technique de fusion qui permet de produire un bijou en or sans avoir recours à un autre matériau ou alliage. Au cours du XVIIe siècle, le filigrane portugais avait déjà ses propres images et des moules uniques représentant principalement la nature, la religion et l’amour. Le filigrane portugais représente la nature avec des poissons, des coquillages, des vagues et des fleurs ; ou la religion avec des croix, ainsi que l’amour symbolisé par des cœurs tel que le cœur emblématique de Viana qui avait été porté pour la première fois par la reine Maria I du Portugal au 18ème siècle. La nouvelle marque de certification pour le filigrane du Portugal garantit l’authenticité de l’ancienne technique d’orfèvrerie du filigrane portugais, qui a obtenu le statut de patrimoine culturel immatériel du Portugal en 2023, et protège l’ancienne technique artisanale des imitations industrielles qui déforment son essence et confondent les consommateurs.
