Last week, Portugal’s prominent center-right politicians are publicly backing António José Seguro, a former SG of the Socialist Party in the runoff presidential election on Feb. 8. The conservative endorsement is a collective rejection of the opposing candidate, far-right Chega leader André Ventura

Portugal’s conservatives back left-wing candidate to avoid a far-right president
Center-right leaders are taking pains to publicly reject the ultranationalist contender ahead of the country’s Feb. 8 vote.
🚨🚨Striking but welcome development in Portugese politics: To stop the explosive growth of the ultranationalist #Chega party, Portugal’s leading conservatives are doing the previously unthinkable: endorsing the center-left candidate for president. 🧵

4/ and the publication must have regard to the rights/interests of others providing information and 'any third parties' too. So there might be some redaction involved, but the Commission has now had 2 months to do this. Very unimpressive.

3/ by saying that the 'publication shall state the names of the parties and the main content of the decision, including any penalties imposed.' Also 'publication shall have regard to the rights and legitimate interests of the provider of the...platform'; though it seems X wants the text published

2/ The legal point - not mentioned in the article - is that the DSA itself requires the Commission to publish non-compliance decisions. Art 80 DSA says that 'The Commission shall publish the decisions', which seems unqualified, but then the obligation is qualified (it's not good drafting)...contd

The GOP 'free speech' bros are absurdly hypocritical - supporting an administration that arrests journalists - but nevertheless the Commission's failure to publish the decision (or some version of it) on X's non-compliance with the Digital Service Act is obnoxious and probably unlawful. 1/

Quote: “What is newly visible to some through Operation Metro Surge has long been lived by others. The elasticity of constitutional standards and the racialized logics that structure immigration enforcement are not new.”
From Minneapolis, what many describe as a constitutional crisis looks very different on the ground.
EMMANUEL MAULEÓN on racialised suspicion, the erosion of Fourth Amendment protections, and the shift of state violence from the margins to the center.

Efficiency through dignity: why Europe’s return policies need human rights - Commissioner for Human Rights - www.coe.int
Strasbourg 28/01/2026
"We are now hearing a great deal about 'return hubs' - a concept that was, until recently, considered legally and practically off-limits and that is now sold as a 'quick fix. While states look for 'innovative solutions', they must not create human rights black holes."

Présenté comme la « solution ultime » à la pollution plastique par les industriels, le recyclage chimique est en réalité une impasse technologique et économique. L’UE continue pourtant de soutenir la filière et s’apprête à légaliser des pratiques trompeuses pour les consommateurs.

par @loreliecarrive.bsky.social
En réalité, la baisse du nombre de places est un objectif du projet annuel de performance de la nation depuis 2 ans.
Les budgets en déficit n'en sont que la conséquence.

NEWS: A federal judge found that ICE had repeatedly retaliated against peaceful protesters in unconstitutional ways — and barred agents involved in Minnesota's "Operation Metro Surge" from using similar tactics and force.
