Political cleansing?, strike shuts Lisbon Metro & Chega radio rumpus! Plus weather & currency

On Wednesday 14th October 2026, Carl Munson’s Good Morning Portugal! news reports a Chega MP interrupting a University of Coimbra radio broadcast, Lisbon being recognised as a top cruise destination for the third time and named Europe’s best cruise destination, and a parliamentary inquiry beginning into former PJ head Luís Neves, described by some as political cleansing.



Other headlines include the IMF upgrading Portugal’s growth forecast to 2.1%, Portugal proving resilient against Eurozone economic crises, fires in Faro and Coimbra in the last 24 hours, and the village of Vale Fuzeiros preserving traces of an ancient ocean.



The image of the day remains Liz’s shot of Buçaco Palace.



Warm October weather continues, with Lisbon at 31°C and Évora 32°C.



The show later reviews a visit to AIMA.
