Seguro Condemns Trump Attack

In Search of Hope – by Sam Gannon

Seconded to the parish of Tililngdon, the Reverend Dolores has been presented with a challenge.

She’s living in an antiquated house and she’s cold. Furthermore, her new Bishop, Bishop Alice does not approve of ‘showgirls in dog collars.’

Determined to prove the Bishop wrong, she sets about warming her house – who cares if it smells of horse! There is the crochet club, jumble sale, and soup run to organise. And this year, the church bells will ring, no matter what threats are made. Even more so, the newly formed choir will spread a little joy this Christmas, even though they can’t sing – yet! And with a little help from Phil, her bassist, this year could be full of magic.

However, she has a fight on her hands as the townies out in Knob Hill – she must stop calling it that, are trying to stop her from ringing her bells. When Krystal with a K decides to do some volunteer work, Dolores sets out to see just how committed she really is.

Up to her ears in granny squares and squawking choristers, Dolores is revving up for Christmas, yet a deeper darker secret is beginning to emerge!

A secret that could blow the whole parish apart and put Dolores in danger.

The Portuguese head of state, António José Seguro, today expressed solidarity with US President Donald Trump and condemned any attack against democratic institutions or freedom of the press.

“Violence has no place in democracy. Any attack against democratic institutions or freedom of the press deserves strong condemnation,” said António José Seguro, in a note published on the official website of the Presidency of the Republic.

This position of the President of the Republic was released following the shooting incident that led to Donald Trump being removed from the annual dinner of the White House Correspondents’ Association in Washington on Saturday night.

In the note published today, titled “President of the Republic condemns attack in the United States and expresses solidarity with his US counterpart,” António José Seguro expressed his solidarity with Donald Trump and other participants in that dinner.

The Portuguese prime minister also reacted to the incident through his social network account on X.

“I strongly condemn the attempted attack tonight against the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump. Democracy and those who defend it cannot tolerate or compromise with political violence,” wrote Luís Montenegro.
