CGA pensioners can go to court to stop repayment demands

The Caixa Geral de Aposentações (CGA) has requested the repayment of excess pension amounts from 2,937 retirees, citing a technical "parameterization error." While the government insists the law mandates these refunds, legal experts suggest affected pensioners can challenge these demands in court.

Why it mattersIf you are a CGA pensioner, check if you have received a notification regarding an overpayment demand; you may have legal grounds to dispute the repayment in court if you believe the demand is unfair or if the error was not your fault.

Asian hornet most active at this time of year: what to do in case of a sting or if you find a nest?

The Asian hornet (Vespa velutina) is now present throughout Portugal, with over 5,000 nests destroyed by the end of July this year. The species reaches peak activity in late summer and early autumn, when nests are at their largest. If stung, wash the area with soap and water and apply a cold compress; if you experience breathing difficulties, facial swelling, or dizziness, seek medical attention immediately via 112. Report any sightings of nests or individuals to help authorities track the species.
