It is vital to speed up new investment in Africa that will promote a green transition in the recovery from the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This was the position of the main political and financial leaders speaking at the opening of the High-Level EU-Africa Green Investment Forum, organised by the Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the EU and by the European Investment Bank, from the Centro Cultural de Belém in Lisbon.

Europe must establish a “real partnership” with Africa, “to build a more prosperous future”, argued the Portuguese Minister of State for Foreign Affairs. Augusto Santos Silva pointed out that the priority for this partnership must be to “reinforce the green transition”, which brings with it “an excellent opportunity for job creation and sustainable economic growth, making it possible to reduce inequalities”.
Teachers and educators to demonstrate in Lisbon
Teachers and educators are set to demonstrate today (24 April) in Lisbon to challenge the position of the Ministry of Education, which they accuse of continuing without solving the problems of the profession, such as the retirement and the rejuvenation of the profession.
The protest has been organised by the National Federation of Teachers (Fenprof), which, in a statement, accuses the tutelage of inaction with regard to career improvements which has been devalued by political decision , preventing the retirement and rejuvenation of the profession.
The federation also accuses the ministry of imposing “decades of precariousness, within the framework of an unfair competition regime” and of the working conditions causing “an enormous physical and psychological strain on the teachers”, not least because many have “schedules that violate the legal limits in force”.
