ACP cancela na totalidade a realização da mítica prova que voltou ao WRC em 2007 no Algarve

O Rally de Portugal vai ficar fora do Campeonato Mundial de Rallyes (WRC) em 2027 e a próxima edição da prova foi cancelada para outro qualquer campeonato, nacional ou europeu.

O Automóvel Club de Portugal (ACP) atribuiu a decisão a uma alteração de última hora promovida pelo promotor do campeonato – grupo francês Cosmobilis -, afastando qualquer relação com os incidentes registados na edição de 2026.

“O Rally de Portugal não se vai realizar em 2027”, confirmou o ACP à Agência Lusa, admitindo o regresso da prova ao calendário WRC em 2028, porém, a organização garante ainda que a exclusão não está relacionada com questões financeiras nem com a mudança prevista do centro nevrálgico da prova, de Matosinhos para Viseu.

O ACP esclarece que a alteração do calendário teve como objetivo tornar o WRC “geograficamente tão diverso e intercontinental quanto possível”, acabando por afetar o Rally de Portugal, que se realizaria entre 13 e 16 de maio, tendo como base a cidade de Viseu.

A organização rejeita também a existência de indemnizações, explicando que, apesar dos contratos estabelecidos, os calendários são ratificados anualmente pelo promotor e pela Federação Internacional do Automóvel.

Prova portuguesa é fundadora do Mundial de Rallyes

A prova portuguesa, uma das fundadoras do Campeonato do Mundo de Rallyes, integrou o WRC desde 1973, com exceções em alguns anos, e regressou ao calendário em 2007, de forma mais regular, tendo então como base o Algarve.

Saliente-se que, esta será apenas a segunda vez desde a primeira edição, em 1967, que o Rally de Portugal não se realiza, depois do cancelamento de 2020 devido à pandemia de Covid-19.

Recorde-se que a primeira temporada WRC contou com 13 provas, sendo cada uma realizada num país ou território diferente, no caso, no Mónaco (Rally de Monte Carlo), Suécia (Rally da Suécia), Portugal (Rally de Portugal), Quénia (Safari Rally), Marrocos (Rally de Marrocos), Grécia (Rally da Acrópole), Polónia (Rally da Polónia), Finlândia (Rally dos 100 Lagos/Rally da Finlândia), Áustria (Rally dos Alpes Austríacos), Itália (Rally de Sanremo), Estados Unidos (Rally Press-on-Regardless), Reino Unido (Rali RAC) e França (Tour de Corse / Rally de Córsega).

Portugal perde cerca de 200 milhões de euros

O Automóvel Club de Portugal lamenta o impacto da decisão para o país e recorda que o estudo realizado em 2025 apontou para um retorno superior a 193 milhões de euros para a economia nacional através da realização do Rally de Portugal.

Apesar de não se ter disponibilizado para prestar declarações, o presidente do ACP, Carlos Barbosa, partilhou com a Agência Lusa, em resposta por escrito, que “um sentimento de grande surpresa e de choque, do qual resultou uma sensação clara de frustração” com este desfecho.

No calendário WRC para 2027 divulgado na passada semana pela Federação Internacional do Automóvel (FIA) e pelo Promotor Cosmobilis, o Rally de Portugal é a única prova a ficar de fora em relação a este ano, enquanto que o calendário é alargado de 13 para 15 provas, entrando os Estados Unidos e o Reino Unido, reentrando a Arábia Saudita – que não se realizou este ano -, como jornada de encerramento.

Marine Le Pen has set out plans to cut French public spending by €140 billion by 2032, reduce the deficit and impose a constitutional constraint on future borrowing, placing France’s deteriorating public finances at the centre of the campaign for the 2027 presidential election.

Marine Le Pen has presented a five-year fiscal programme under which a National Rally administration would seek €140 billion in net savings by 2032, restore France’s primary budget balance within 18 months and bring the headline deficit back below the European Union’s three per cent threshold by 2030.

The proposals, presented on Tuesday as Le Pen outlined the financial trajectory she would pursue during a presidential term, come as France faces rising borrowing costs and a public debt ratio approaching 120 per cent of GDP.

The scale of the problem was underlined on the same day by France’s Directorate-General of the Treasury. Its latest report on public debt projects the debt ratio at 119.3 per cent of GDP this year before rising to 121.7 per cent in 2027. Debt stood at 115.7 per cent at the end of 2025.

EU Today has already reported that French borrowing costs and concerns over the sustainability of the country’s finances have begun to weigh on the euro and widen the gap between French and German government bond yields.

Le Pen’s programme is therefore aimed not only at French voters but at financial markets increasingly focused on whether Paris can prevent debt from continuing to rise.

According to the proposals outlined on Tuesday, spending reductions would be concentrated heavily in the first three years of a Le Pen presidency. She would also seek to introduce what she calls a constitutional “golden rule”, requiring successive governments to reduce the budget deficit each year.

The measure would be put to a referendum and is intended to make deficit reduction binding beyond an individual government’s annual budget decisions.

Le Pen has also proposed reducing France’s public debt to around 112 per cent of GDP by 2032. That would reverse the trajectory currently expected by the French government, although the National Rally’s assumptions would depend on its ability to deliver the proposed savings and on economic growth during the next presidential term.

Among the most politically significant proposals is a plan to restrict France’s net contribution to the EU budget to €5 billion. The party argues that some European spending should instead be financed through harmonised taxes on products such as tobacco and alcohol.

Le Pen also expects substantial savings from tighter immigration controls and the introduction of the National Rally’s proposed “national preference” rules for access to parts of the welfare system. Her programme estimates that measures connected with immigration could eventually produce savings of as much as €29 billion annually.

Other elements include changes to pension policy, reductions in corporate and energy taxation, measures against VAT fraud, the abolition of more than 120 taxes and a reduction in the number of state agencies.

The programme marks an attempt by Le Pen to make fiscal policy a central part of a campaign that has until now been dominated largely by immigration, security and questions surrounding France’s political fragmentation.

The timing is significant. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu’s government has itself introduced a difficult fiscal consolidation programme. The 2027 budget presented by the Finance Ministry envisages €54 billion in measures to improve the public finances, including €43 billion contained directly in the state and social-security budgets.

The government expects the deficit to fall from 5.4 per cent of GDP in 2026 to five per cent next year. It forecasts growth of only 0.5 per cent this year before a recovery to one per cent in 2027.

The debt burden is becoming increasingly costly. Interest payments are expected to reach €91.2 billion in 2027, up from €79.2 billion this year, according to the Finance Ministry. By 2030, total public-sector interest costs are projected to reach 3.7 per cent of GDP.

That gives the presidential campaign an economic dimension that is difficult to separate from France’s relationship with Brussels. Paris remains subject to EU fiscal rules requiring a gradual reduction in its deficit, while any attempt to reduce the French contribution to the EU budget would require negotiations with the other member states.

Le Pen enters that debate from a strong electoral position. Recent polling examined by EU Today has placed her ahead in first-round scenarios for 2027, although the final field remains unsettled. EU Today reported in September that Le Pen was polling between 33 and 36 per cent depending on her opponents.

Her latest intervention shifts part of the campaign onto terrain traditionally associated with the centre-right: public spending, debt and the credibility of France’s finances.

With the government attempting to secure parliamentary support for its own austerity measures and French borrowing costs under closer scrutiny, the question of how the country pays for the state is now moving towards the centre of the contest to succeed Emmanuel Macron.
