A democracia e a liberdade em Portugal estão hoje tristes, mas são mais fortes por causa do legado, da ação e do espírito inovador de Francisco Pinto Balsemão.

@yuvalharari.bsky.social wrote a very good essay in @financialtimes.com, but as he rightly writes the “weakest link in Ukraine’s defences still lies in the minds of its western friends.” Let’s not full ourselves that we can wish Russian aggression away. It is in Europe’s interest that 🇺🇦 does win!

“Europe is in a fight” and @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu, after a difficult summer, came fighting in #SOTEU. Yet, a 73 min speech helps more diluting the message than making the case for it…
