Today's Headlines

Good morning! Here are the key topics making headlines in today's DIÁRIO:

Tourist Utility at the Heart of Corruption Inquiry

An anonymous tip-off has led to an investigation by the Public Ministry targeting regional secretary Eduardo Jesus. The inquiry is linked to a directive concerning the Quinta do Furão hotel, which is prominently featured on page 10 of today’s printed edition.

Cruise Boom on the Horizon

In more exciting news, one in five ships are now overnighting in Funchal. The port is projected to exceed 300 berths by 2025, with nine new ships set to debut before December. The Madeira International Ship Registry is on the verge of breaking into the global Top 10.

Albuquerque Stands Firm

Unions Must Adapt Communication

Unions are urged to reinvent their communication strategies, as technology replaces traditional roles, according to Alexandre Fernandes, coordinator of USAM, who is hosting another congress today.

Green Light for Holiday Lights

Finally, the court has approved a €3.6 million contract for this year's Christmas decorations.
