Press Review: Medical Certificate Required for Gender Change

O Público highlights that the PSD is reviving a 2011 law requiring a medical certificate for gender change in civil registration. The bill was introduced two weeks after Chega's proposal on the same issue. If approved, changing name and gender on the citizen card will no longer be possible for those aged 16 to 18. On International Women's Day, the newspaper also reports on a researcher from Coimbra who analysed the party's programmes and the interventions of two female deputies, revealing how Chega uses women against equality. Jornal de Notícias reveals that in the last decade, there have been 2,600 cases of elderly disappearances in the PSP intervention area, with 140 never found. According to PSP data, there were 241 cases last year, averaging 20 disappearances per month nationwide. Loneliness and illness are cited as explanations for these numbers, and experts are calling for stronger social policies. Correio da Manhã reports that the Transparency Entity (EpT) forced Luís Montenegro to declare and prove the capital gain he made from selling BCP shares before taking office as Prime Minister. Montenegro declared this capital gain almost two years after selling the shares: in November 2025, in the replacement income declaration submitted to the entity, he reported earning €181,172.
