Portugal's working week of 11-17 May 2026 packs the IGCP €1.5 billion OT auction and Mota-Engil Q1 on Wednesday, the Trabalho XXI anteprojeto walking into Parliament, the 109th-anniversary Fátima 12-13 May pilgrimage, and the United Newark-Faro restart on Friday.
Mota-Engil reports Q1 2026 after market close Wednesday 13 May. The 8 May €113.5M Linha do Minho win lands in Q2 backlog; the Q1 print frames the 2025 €40M base, the €15-16B order book, the Africa EBITDA-margin trajectory and the Mozambique LNG mobilisation read.
Sébastien Ogier ends Saturday at the 59th Vodafone Rally de Portugal +21.9 on Neuville and +25.8 on Pajari, after a Paredes rain crisis briefly handed the lead to Oliver Solberg. The FIA fines ACP €15,000 (suspended) for the Friday Arganil 2 incident.
Trabalho XXI walks into Parliament without a Concertação Social signature, the CGTP has locked 3 June for the general strike, private-sector wages are running +6% YoY and the insolvency tape is up 7.8%. The labour-policy summer in Portugal will be busier than the political calendar suggests.
The 9 May 2026 ceremony in Porto closed Portugal's 40th year in the EU. Behind the speeches sits a cohesion balance sheet whose maths is turning: 18% drawn on Portugal 2030, a still-running PRR, and a 2034 date when Lisbon stops being a net beneficiary of the EU budget for the first time since 1986.
