Is AIMA legal fix a ruse? EU help 6 months after storms & oceans in 'safe' hands – News Review Ep.34

In this week’s Resident news podcast, Natasha and Carl discuss whether the government’s new plan to distribute AIMA immigration lawsuits to regional courts (instead of overloading Lisbon) is a genuine fix or merely a cosmetic “ruse,” following EU criticism of Portugal’s slow administrative courts. 

They also cover the incomplete recovery six months after Storms Kristen, Leonardo and Marta: Portugal has received a €65.37 million advance from the EU Solidarity Fund, yet around 1,600 customers (mainly in the Leiria region) still lack restored landlines. 

Finally, they review President António José Seguro’s first foreign trip to Cape Verde, where he was named patron of the Decade of the Ocean and outlined five priorities for international ocean cooperation: maritime safety, sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, tourism, blue finance, and science and technology.
