O mais recente Eurobarómetro revela que os portugueses são dos Estados-Membros mais otimistas relativamente ao futuro da União Europeia (74%) ultrapassando a média europeia (58%).
E no entanto, 18,5% dos nossos vizinhos votam em partidos que querem desvirtuar o projeto europeu, para algo que seria a antítese de uma União inclusiva, e baseada em valores de democracia liberal.
No Liberal Europe Podcast, do European Liberal Forum, e juntamente com o Movimento Liberal Social (em Portugal) e Liberté! Foundation (na Polónia), e com a companhia do meu amigo Leszek Jazdzewski, falo sobre esse paradoxo.

The latest Eurobarometer reveals that the Portuguese are among the most optimistic Member States regarding the future of the European Union (74%), surpassing the European average (58%).
And yet, 18.5% of our neighbors vote for parties that want to distort the European project, into something that would be the antithesis of an inclusive Union, based on the values of liberal democracy.
In the Liberal Europe Podcast, from the European Liberal Forum, together with the Social Liberal Movement (in Portugal) and the Liberté! Foundation (in Poland), and accompanied by my friend Leszek Jazdzewski, I discuss this paradox.You can find the podcast here.
