Acresce que, os cidadãos terão o direito, pela primeira vez, de propor à Comissão que adopte uma determinada iniciativa legislativa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por último, irá ser instituído um Alto Representante para a Política Externa e de Segurança Comum, sendo que se trata de uma nova figura institucional que exercerá simultaneamente dois cargos: o cargo de Alto Representante para a Política Externa e de Segurança Comum e o cargo de Vice- Presidente da Comissão.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por conseguinte, é inexorável que estamos no bom caminho!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Marco Lacomblez Leitão&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PES Activits Portugal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Newsletter PES Activists Nº2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-46600793067030391?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/46600793067030391/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=46600793067030391' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/46600793067030391'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/46600793067030391'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2008/01/tratado-de-lisboa.html' title='Tratado de Lisboa'/><author><name>Pedro Miguel Cardoso</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15821482383363949825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-5233367638074385203</id><published>2008-01-29T01:06:00.000Z</published><updated>2008-01-29T01:23:36.873Z</updated><title type='text'>Congresso de Sofia</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sofia, Madrid, Lisboa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"&gt;Após o Congresso do PES organizado no Porto, em Dezembro de 2006, a expectativa em torno do Conselho de Sofia era elevada. E estas não foram defraudadas, pois o seu contributo político foi muito intenso. Confirmou-se o papel central que o Manifesto 2009 assumirá na vida próxima do PES e, inevitavelmente, dos diversos partidos socialistas nacionais; bem como o papel que o movimento dos Activistas pode, e deve, desempenhar na boa condução desta original iniciativa.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"&gt;A maioria das intervenções no Plenário e nas sessões paralelas, de delegados, convidados e activistas, foram assim de acordo com os quatro assuntos-base do Manifesto: Save our planet, New Social Europe, European democracy and diversity and EU in the world.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"&gt;Definitivamente, nós, socialistas europeus, temos as Ideias e Ideais; Projecto e a Experiência; as Pessoas e as Equipas, para ambicionarmos construir uma Nova Europa. Uma Europa com um papel estratégico na esfera internacional; com um forte discurso ambientalista e com uma Agenda Verde renovada. Uma Europa que assume a responsabilidade de alcançar as metas da Nova Europa Social. Uma Europa com uma forte e activa ligação com os seus cidadãos, que assume a diferença e a diversidade como uma marca genética, definidora da sua percepção do mundo e da&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;sociedades contemporâneas.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"&gt;Só uma Europa socialista poderá fornecer as respostas políticas aos problemas sociais que modelam o nosso quotidiano com as cores negras da injustiça social e da discriminação aleatória. Só uma Europa dominada pelo socialismo democrático pode reparar o modelo social e construir um projecto político de desenvolvimento humano eficaz e duradouro. Com uma forte maioria socialista não tenho dúvida de que uma Nova Europa Social pode ser uma realidade.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"&gt;Mas para que tal possa ser efectivado é necessário que a Europa vire à esquerda nas eleições de 2009; e é aqui que a construção do Manifesto assume importância estratégica. Não só porque assegura que a relação entre o PES e as suas bases seja dinâmica, valida e validada, com uma afinidade estratégica assumida com os PES Activists; não só pela qualidade da proposta política daí proveniente; mas também porque colocará o PES como primeira estrutura europeia a ter a veleidade de pensar como um organismo coeso, multipartidário e multinacional, com uma agenda europeia própria e com um projecto integrado e articulado com os partidos nacionais, as suas estruturas de base, activistas, organizações não governamentais e sociedade civil.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"&gt;No Congresso do Porto, no ano passado, este tema já tinha sido abordado. Em Sofia o caminho ganhou mais pavimento, num trilho que ainda verá apeadeiros em Viena (entrega final das propostas para o Manifesto 2009, em Junho 2008) e Madrid (apresentação do Manifesto, Dezembro 2008), antes da exposição final nas eleições europeias de 2009. O Partido Socialista português, que tão bem representando tem estado nestes certames, tem a responsabilidade de sustentar uma fasquia elevada: o nome Lisboa. Lisboa tem, na cena Europeia, um elan muito especial, e são recordados sempre com muito carinho os acontecimentos na capital portuguesa. Primeiro a muito citada Agenda de Lisboa, herança de António Guterres; agora, se tudo correr como planeado, o Tratado de Lisboa, herança de José Sócrates.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; font-weight: bold;"&gt;José Reis Santos&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Coordenador Nacional do PES Activists Portugal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"&gt;In Newsletter PES Activists Portugal Nº2&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-5233367638074385203?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/5233367638074385203/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=5233367638074385203' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/5233367638074385203'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/5233367638074385203'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2008/01/congresso-de-sofia.html' title='Congresso de Sofia'/><author><name>Pedro Miguel Cardoso</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15821482383363949825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-1202069568215424072</id><published>2008-01-27T14:26:00.000Z</published><updated>2008-01-27T14:33:38.133Z</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Caros amigos,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caros PES activistas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estamos a aproximar-nos do fim do ano de 2007 e olhando para trás, concluo que o PES e o PES Mulheres tiveram um ano extremamente produtivo e bem sucedido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas os socialistas e os sociais-democratas europeus têm uma desafio ainda maior pela frente: as eleições europeias de 2009. Apesar desta longínqua data, o PES quer ser pioneiro e preparar um Manifesto comum onde os socialistas e os cidadãos europeus e sociais democratas se revejam, que dê uma visão de uma Europa mais social, que vai para além dos objectivos de economia de mercado, que tome em consideração a diversidade e solidariedade, as políticas sociais, os assuntos ambientais, a educação, o desenvolvimento, apenas para nomear algumas das nossas preocupações.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eis a razão por que o PES, sob a liderança de Poul Nyrup Rasmussen lançou o Website http://manifesto2009.pes.org/, uma ferramenta que nos permite trocar ideias com as células do partido, os membros do partido, as ONGs e os cidadãos europeus para os temas como "O futuro do nosso planeta", "Uma nova Europa social", "A Europa no Mundo" e  "A democracia e diversidade europeia".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Convido-vos a todos a fazerem parte deste processo de discussão e debate de ideias, porque acredito que precisamos de pessoas como o PES Activists Portugal que estão entusiástica e politicamente comprometidos. Conheci-vos em Abril de 2007, o que me convenceu de que o PES Activists pode marcar a diferença no apoio e suporte ao PES. Desejo-vos um excelente ano de 2008 no vosso espaço web.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Zita Gurmai&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Presidente do PES Women&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Newsletter PES Activists Portugal Nº2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-1202069568215424072?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/1202069568215424072/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=1202069568215424072' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/1202069568215424072'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/1202069568215424072'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2008/01/caros-amigos-caros-pes-activistas.html' title=''/><author><name>Pedro Miguel Cardoso</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15821482383363949825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-1092984837900380330</id><published>2008-01-26T23:15:00.001Z</published><updated>2008-01-26T23:27:05.820Z</updated><title type='text'>"Uma ideia solta"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Portugal exerceu durante este último semestre de 2007 a presidência da União Europeia. Não nos limitámos a gerir o que vinha de presidências anteriores. Pelo contrário: seis meses depois, podemos dizer que deixámos claramente a nossa marca. Portugal quis dar particular atenção ao Mediterrâneo, ao Brasil e à relação EuropaÁfrica. A recente cimeira EU-África sinalizou bem essa prioridade. Mas é impossível não destacar o acordo alcançado quanto ao Tratado reformador, um autêntico virar de página na história europeia, depois de anos de impasse institucional. Com a assinatura do Tratado de Lisboa, realizada no Mosteiro dos Jerónimos a 13 de Dezembro de 2007, começou a Europa do Século XXI, para utilizar um título bastante feliz de um jornal diário espanhol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quando daqui a um ano terminar o processo de ratificação, estaremos então em condições de nos concentrarmos naquilo que realmente preocupa os cidadãos europeus: o emprego, a competitividade, a independência energética e as alterações climáticas. Numa palavra, a renovação da agenda de Lisboa, curiosamente outro marco de outra presidência portuguesa da UE. Só assim poderemos criar condições para a emergência de uma efectiva identificação dos europeus com o projecto europeu. O Tratado de Lisboa reforça o papel do Parlamento Europeu e dos Parlamentos Nacionais no processo de construção europeia. Mas o Tratado é um instrumento institucional; o Tratado não substitui a acção de cada um de nós, Governos e cidadãos, no desenvolvimento da cidadania europeia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Julgo que o PES Activists, cuja secção portuguesa tenho acompanhado com especial interesse, representa uma plataforma importante de circulação de ideias e debates entre os socialistas europeus, que são, a par da família democrata-cristã, os pais fundadores da Europa que conhecemos nos últimos 50 anos: um modelo de paz, democracia e desenvolvimento social, que serve de referência a outras regiões do mundo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como europeísta militante, é com agrado que vejo a possibilidade de votar em 2009 num Partido Socialista, candidato ao Parlamento Europeu, com base numa proposta política comum e participada, como aquela que o PES Activists está a preparar a nível europeu. No passado, as atitudes dos portugueses face à Europa têm combinado o apoio à adesão com o desinteresse e o afastamento face às questões europeias. As várias presidências portuguesas da UE foram a manifestação clara de que é na Europa que nos podemos afirmar enquanto País. E temos de trazer todos a esse projecto comum. Nesse sentido, o PES Activists parece-me a estrutura indicada para começar a envolver militantes, independentes e organizações não governamentais na construção dessa Europa do Século XXI que agora começa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Augusto Santos Silva&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secretário Nacional do Partido Socialista&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ministro dos assuntos parlamentares&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Newsletter PES Activists Portugal Nº2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-1092984837900380330?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/1092984837900380330/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=1092984837900380330' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/1092984837900380330'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/1092984837900380330'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2008/01/uma-ideia-solta.html' title='&quot;Uma ideia solta&quot;'/><author><name>Pedro Miguel Cardoso</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15821482383363949825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-8751386482618629835</id><published>2008-01-26T01:43:00.000Z</published><updated>2008-01-26T02:07:38.881Z</updated><title type='text'>Opinião</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;O Milagre de Schengen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A 21 de Dezembro de 2007, nove novos países juntaram-se ao Espaço Schengen: Estónia, Letónia, Lituânia, Hungria, Malta, Polónia, República Checa, Eslováquia e Eslovénia. O Acordo de Schengen representa a abolição sistemática de controles fronteiriços entre os seus membros, assim permitindo uma das básicas aspirações da UE, a livre passagem de cidadãos europeus entre o conjunto da União.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas este evento memorável, que verdadeiramente significa o enterrar da Cortina de Ferro e da separação da Europa, não poderia ser possível ser a intervenção oportuna da Presidência Portuguesa da União e duma companhia portuguesa de software. O cerne da implementação do Espaço Schengen é o Sistema de Informações Schengen (SIS) que é responsável pela recolha e guarda da informação daqueles que entram o território Schengen do seu exterior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tinham surgido problemas com a implementação da segunda versão do SIS, denominado SIS II, que tinham levado a Unisys e a Microsoft a afirmar ser impossível que os novos estados-membros entrassem em Schengen durante 2007. Tal foi considerado inaceitável pela Presidência portuguesa, que mandatou o Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras, em conjunto com a empresa portuguesa Critical Software, de desenvolver uma nova base de dados intermédia que pudesse cumprir os requisitos do SIS II em 2007. Assim, SISoneforALL foi criada, e representa um sucesso sem paralelo, permitindo que nove novos países se juntassem a Schengen em 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Presidência portuguesa mais uma vez provou a sua capacidade para ultrapassar obstáculos considerados impossíveis, como foi o caso da aprovação do Tratado de Lisboa, assim vindicando o nosso objectivo de uma cada vez maior União, uma Europa unificada que sirva como farol de civilização e progresso num mundo cada vez mais sombrio e inseguro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ao entregar a tocha e bastão de comando aos nossos irmãos eslovacos em 2008, os portugueses podem descansar assegurados que os nossos objectivos foram alcançados. A UE é hoje mais forte e integrada de que quando assumimos a presidência. Como deveria ser. Sinceramente esperamos que o mesmo possa ser dito daqui a seis meses, e assim por diante, num futuro cada vez mais brilhante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Diogo Moreira&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Newsletter PES Activists Portugal Nº2&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-8751386482618629835?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/8751386482618629835/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=8751386482618629835' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/8751386482618629835'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/8751386482618629835'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2008/01/opinio.html' title='Opinião'/><author><name>Pedro Miguel Cardoso</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15821482383363949825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-8809407740941971174</id><published>2007-12-30T20:17:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-12-30T20:19:40.066Z</updated><title type='text'>Newsletter</title><content type='html'>Mais uma edição da nossa newsletter (a segunda) do PES Activists Portugal...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Algumas contribuições interessantes de personalidades do panorama politico, nacional e internacional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vamos centrar atenções em quatro linhas orientadoras as quais serão:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.

O PSD veria aqui rebentar o balão de oxigénio que Luís Filipe Meneses comprou com a sua eleição para líder, que, depois do esvaziamento que tem tido nos debates parlamentares e na Câmara de Lisboa, ficaria sem gás. Por outro lado, só convêm ao PS, no lançamento para 2009, construir (mais) uma vitória em referendo que, a somar-se à consulta sobre o aborto, e às intercalares de Lisboa, o retiraria da miséria das Autárquicas 2005 e das presidenciais 2006 e o lançaria numa nova dinâmica de vitórias.&lt;br /&gt;Depois, porque seria sempre uma vitória do PS, que, no governo e com a possibilidade de ratificar o Tratado na Assembleia, passaria a ideia de querer consultar a população, num sinal altruísta e democrático. «Ouvir o povo, informar o cidadão e fomentar o debate sobre a Europa», seriam as linhas de uma campanha pró-referendo. Não penso que a restante esquerda possa fazer algo mais que um animado debate.&lt;br /&gt;Claro está que não podíamos condicionar a rectificação à barreira dos 50%, com risco de nunca podermos alcançar algum resultado válido. A solução do referendo do Aborto parece-me perfeitamente repetivel.&lt;br /&gt;Por fim, algumas palavras acerca da proposta da Constituinte. &lt;a href="http://www.lojadeideias.blogspot.com/"&gt;Já aqui defendi&lt;/a&gt;, no passado, que o processo de construção europeia deveria ter tido o seu momento constituinte. É, aliás, uma ideia que defendo há já alguns anos, em alguns fóruns. Estranho, sinceramente, a pertinência da proposta da JS agora. Pergunto: porquê só agora, quando se assina um tratado que, na prática, inviabiliza essa opção? Onde esteve essa ideia no último ano? Eu sei que não tenho alcance nem dimensão política para que uma ideia minha caminhe no palco da política, mas a JS tem.

We are very happy with the outcome as all PES member parties gave their support to the PES manifesto campaign and to our ambition for a common 2009 election programme. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Resolutions on climate change, on financial markets and on the EU and the international scene were adopted.  Along the way we proved that lively debates and strong common positions can go hand in hand.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Unfortunately the weather didn’t want to join this success story, and a heavy fog over Sofia badly hit the airport before, during and after PES Council. The result was that many party leaders, delegates, journalists and PES activists could not reach Sofia. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I regret that they were forced on a tiring odyssey of delays, re-routing and cancellations. I would like to apologize to all PES activists who tried to reach Sofia and who were finally forced to return home without being able to participate. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I know you tried and I really appreciate your effort and commitment. Your presence was missed but your effort did not go unnoticed.  In the end only 15 of more than 50 registered PES activists for Council were able to make it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I would like to thank those who were there as you have represented PES activists very actively and very ably. The PES and all delegates appreciated your input as grassroots representatives and your presence was another important step in strengthening the PES as a major player in European politics which is connected to the people and takes their needs seriously. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I hope the PES will benefit from your support for future events. You are our strength and provide us with inspiration and encouragement   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;With socialist regards, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Philip Cordery&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-7380122840035078846?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/7380122840035078846/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=7380122840035078846' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/7380122840035078846'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/7380122840035078846'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/12/pes-activists.html' title='PES Activists'/><author><name>José Reis Santos</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05541543170896193331</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-8313125586506370992</id><published>2007-12-12T19:33:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-12-12T19:45:22.615Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PES'/><title type='text'>PES Newsletter n°23 - December 2007</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#990000;"&gt;PES Newsletter n°23 - December 2007&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Watch PES Council!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite travel chaos caused by heavy fog, PES Council - the biggest gathering of European socialists and social democrats in 2007 - took place in the capital of Bulgaria and featured lively debates on international relations, climate change, financial markets and the PES manifesto for the 2009 European elections. Special guest was Barney Frank, Democrat chairman of the US House Committee on Financial Services. See all the adopted resolutions and watch the debates on video. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Manifesto2009 - join in&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Have your say on what should be in our European-wide manifesto for the 2009 European elections - take part in the 'Yourspace' open consultation on what progressive policies the PES should highlight in its manifesto.

PES President Poul Nyrup Rasmussen said afterwards that the new treaty has social democratic values and progressive goals. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where MPs fear for their lives&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The PES launched a declaration in support of 41 Lebanese MPs living for over forty days under armed guard in a hotel in Beirut unable to leave due to fears for their safety. The action followed a PES delegation to the Middle East led by Swedish Social Democrat Carin Jamtin which visited the Lebanese MPs confined in the hotel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A year of child care campaigning&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The PES child care campaign resulted in new commitments on child care services from Governments, PES Member Parties and the European Commission.

Confirmou-se o papel central que o Manifesto 2009 assumirá na vida próxima do PES e, inevitavelmente, dos diversos partidos socialistas nacionais; bem como o papel que o movimento dos Activistas pode, e deve, desempenhar na boa condução desta original iniciativa.»&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a class="more-link" href="http://www.manifiesto2009.es/blog/2007/12/08/sofia-madrid-lisboa/#more-24"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Read the rest of this entry →&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-1515122987369204472?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/1515122987369204472/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=1515122987369204472' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/1515122987369204472'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/1515122987369204472'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/12/nuestros-hemanos.html' title='Nuestros hemanos'/><author><name>José Reis Santos</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05541543170896193331</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-319358657011563730</id><published>2007-12-09T18:22:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-12-09T18:27:01.135Z</updated><title type='text'>'Cimeira UE-África: Sócrates diz que foram cumpridos "todos os grandes objectivos" '</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;'O primeiro-ministro português José Sócrates declarou, no discurso de encerramento da Cimeira União Europeia-África, que durante os dois dias da iniciativa foram cumpridos "todos os grandes objectivos".

porém a unanimidade continuará a vigorar como regra geral, nomeadamente no que diz respeito à fiscalidade, à política externa, à defesa, à segurança social e à cultura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Além disso, o Tratado reforçará o controlo democrático da UE, dado que confere funções mais importantes quer ao Parlamento Europeu quer aos Parlamentos nacionais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acresce que, os cidadãos terão o direito, pela primeira vez, de propor à Comissão que adopte uma determinada iniciativa legislativa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por último, irá ser instituído um Alto Representante para a Política Externa e de Segurança Comum, sendo que se trata de uma nova figura institucional que exercerá simultaneamente dois cargos: o cargo de Alto Representante para a Política Externa e de Segurança Comum e o cargo de Vice-Presidente da Comissão.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por conseguinte, é inexorável que estamos no bom caminho!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marco Lacomblez Leitão&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In order to start a discussion, I would like to present two short texts. One is a translated paragraph from the new &lt;a href="http://www.spd.de/" target="_blank"&gt;SPD&lt;/a&gt; (German social democrats) manifesto "Hamburg Programme". It is taken from the chapter "Democratic Europe". The second text is composed of a few paragraphs drawn up by me.&lt;br /&gt;1.) This is a quote from the German social democrats on "Democratic Europe":&lt;br /&gt;European democracy requires a European public scope. European media, organizations of civil society, social partners, but even strong European political parties are indispensable for this. Our aim is to develop the Social Democratic Party of Europe to become a functioning members’ and program party. We are favouring the elaboration of a program of social democratic principles for Europe. In the elections to the European Parliament we want to present a pan-European candidate.&lt;br /&gt;If you are interested in reading the whole chapter, you can download the SPD "Hamburg Programme" &lt;a title="Hamburg Programme" href="http://www.parteitag.spd.de/servlet/PB/show/1734195/Hamburger%20Programm%20engl.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.) This would be my suggestion for PES statements on representative democracy in the EU:&lt;br /&gt;Strong European parties which put up different models of society in EU elections are a fundamental condition for a democratic Europe. Only if the citizens can understand their options and the consequences of their vote, the electorate has a true and democratic influence on institutions.The target of the European socialist family is to empower citizens to identify the consequences of their EU vote upon their societies.&lt;br /&gt;Europe's socialist parties assume the responsability to elaborate a clear socialist model of society in EU elections which is analogue to political chromatics on national level. The PES has elaborated and is promoting an election program which defines a social and progressive European Union.&lt;br /&gt;We believe that European parties should always consider the European principal of subsidiarity and their policies should reflect the consequences of European lawmaking to national, regional and local level. Therefore Europe's socialist family believes in the benefit of a European party of parties. At the same time the PES activates individual members to discuss EU politics and the PES vision for the New Social Europein their regional and local frame. Their experience should be reflected in our definition for a social and progressive EU.&lt;br /&gt;In my eyes this is what we, as a European party, can offer citizens and we should promote such a statement in the next elections. Now I am looking forward for your comments and amendments! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-1439354358988341001?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/1439354358988341001/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=1439354358988341001' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/1439354358988341001'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/1439354358988341001'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/12/via-europa-partidos-europeus.html' title='Via Europa.

Pourtant, nous avions pris de nombreux documents pour présenter le travail réalisé dans la capitale française pour promouvoir le PSE en tant que parti de militants, mais aussi pour aider à la réflexion des délégués sur les 4 thèmes du Manifeste 2009.Après plus de 24 heures passées entre les aéroports de Bucarest et de Rome, c'est le coeur gros que nous avons dû nous résigner à rentrer en France.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogmog.ilcannocchiale.it/"&gt;2. Dos Italianos&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="1691928"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Chiuso per nebbiaCerto che Castagnetti è una potenza…! Aeroporto di Sofia chiuso per nebbia da ieri sera. Metà delle delegazioni al Consiglio del PSE bloccate negli aeroporti di partenza, compresi i francesi, Schulz e Papandreou. Ed ovviamente noi… Veltroni, che sarebbe arrivato oggi da Madrid, dirottato a Roma. Fassino proverà ad arrivarci domattina da Atene. Io e la Lanzillotta ripiegheremo su una chiacchierata sul Titolo V nel suo ufficio, tanto per non avere la sensazione di una giornata persa. Di perso, per me, c’è più di una giornata.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Innanzitutto, una quantità eccessiva (quasi insostenibile) di energia. Sono giorni che salto da un incontro all’altro, col mio bravo blocco degli appunti, e col cellulare che sembra un centralino, per parlare con tutti quelli con cui è bene che parli - per capire, ascoltare, prendere le misure, entrare in questo mondo “istituzionale” cercando di non fare il classico elefante nella cristalleria. E ieri la mia giornata era stata simile alle altre: qualche incontro, tante cose da leggere, tante telefonate, poi la presentazione del simbolo (a me piace. E’ semplice e nazional-popolare quanto basta). Tanto che, commentavo in ufficio prima di partire, i due giorni a Sofia mi sembravano quasi una vacanza, una piacevole parentesi – mentre fino a poche settimane fa mi sarebbe sembrato un momento di iperlavoro. Ecco, con questo spirito sono salita ieri sera sul volo per Sofia. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Partito in orario, atterrato verso le 23.00 a Bucarest perchè l’aeroporto di Sofia era chiuso per nebbia. Lì abbiamo fatto rifornimento di carburante, e siamo ripartiti per Fiumicino. La motivazione ufficiale è stata che non c’erano alberghi disponibili, ma essendo un volo di italiani il dubbio di una ritorsione da parte delle autorità aeroportuali rumene c’è stato… Arrivo a Fiumicino alle 3 del mattino, 8 ore per arrivare alla casella di partenza. A letto alle 4, di nuovo in aeroporto stamattina per tentare di prendere un altro volo – invano. Dire che sono esausta è davvero poco.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In più, sarebbe stato bello esserci. Esattamente un anno fa eravamo al congresso di Porto con una delegazione numerosa, affiatata, vivace e varia. Alcuni di quelli che erano lì, oggi sono nell’esecutivo del Pd. Quest’anno la delegazione non sarebbe stata altrettanto numerosa (è un Consiglio e non un Congresso) ma sarebbe stata altrettanto affiatata e varia. Sarebbe stata la prima delegazione del PD al PSE, ci sarebbe stato Pistelli e la Lanzillotta insieme a Fassino e Vecchi. (Non ci sarebbe stato Mussi…). Veltroni avrebbe parlato nella plenaria di domani mattina, prima delle conclusioni di Rasmussen, e poi avrebbe partecipato al pranzo dei leader. Sarebbe stato bello, importante. Non sarebbe stato un passaggio formale, questo è corretto dirlo, perchè il partito membro del PSE in assenza di una modifica della membership sono i DS, he da un punto di vista propriamente formale esistono ancora. Ma è altrettanto corretto dire che la soggettività politica, anche rispetto alle famiglie europee, è passata pienamente al PD. Per questo abbiamo pensato che la presenza del PD tra i partiti membri sarebbe stato un atto politico indispensabile. Non un dato di fatto per scavalcare una discussione interna (che dovremo fare, e che resta aperta), ma un segnale di coerenza sia a chi ha votato il 14 ottobre (e che non capirebbe il persistere dei “vecchi” partiti accanto al nuovo) sia ai nostri interlocutori in Europa. Che siano del PSE o del PDE.E invece la nebbia ha fatto slittare tutto. (Ma sarà stato Castagnetti, o piuttosto Mussi...?)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-3251259217731039572?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/3251259217731039572/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=3251259217731039572' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/3251259217731039572'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/3251259217731039572'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/11/ainda-sofia-da-blogosfera-vo-nos.html' title='Ainda Sófia'/><author><name>José Reis Santos</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05541543170896193331</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-9192260465687769238</id><published>2007-11-26T18:03:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-26T18:04:56.418Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PES'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pes Activists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sofia'/><title type='text'>Balance from Sofia</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Balance &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 2009 PES Council in Sofia ended. Three intense days came to an end last Friday under a powerful fog that covered Sofia. The last speeches, especially those of Bulgarian Prime Minister Sergey Stanishev (in a perfect English) and the one of Poul Nyrup Rasmusen were particularly brilliant and let us, European socialists, the impression that the European socialist project, and PES, is maturing every day.&lt;br /&gt;The fact that it was the Bulgarian Socialist Party the ones with the responsibility of organizing this important reunion, after the Portuguese socialists in 2006, allowed Europe the opportunity to see, in two consecutive years, both ends of Europe, the western and the eastern. It allowed also experiencing the impact of Europe in a new incoming country facing one of most successful cases of European successful integration.&lt;br /&gt;Bulgaria, in a sentence, reminds me Portugal before we entered the European Union: high hopes, eager to work and to be integrated, and a enthusiastic vitality that catches you. The Bulgarians, so it seemed, are humble people, honest and with a high civic sensibility. Remember that they lived under a totalitarian regime until the 90’s, and that their transitional process was not an easy one (as most of former communist countries). Even thought, they managed to maintained a certain positive civic attitude, appreciated in the fact that people in the streets, although their humility, are persecuting their regular live, with the difficulties that exists in today’s societies. They didn’t turn to crime, or begging or prostitutions, at least from what I could see in the city of Sofia. Another example can be drawn from the public transports. You don’t see any control in the trams, for example, and the tickets are supposed to be validated in some kind of manual machine, most certainly still a remembrance of soviet times. Although all this easiness, that in some European capitals would be taken as an invitation to free-ride, the Bulgarians, young and old, validated their tickets, in a prove of civism and ethics behaviour.&lt;br /&gt;Even though, they still have a long way to go. They have their country to rebuild and it is very important that there is a socialist at the elm, because, as we see in other former communists countries, It is very important to maintain a strong social preoccupation in order to create a balanced society; and not that wild capitalists experiences, with high social cleavages, that we sometimes see in the eastern Europe countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Positive&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The people, the council organization, Sofia and the weather, that allow us to have more time to talk between ourselves and to have more face time with leaders, delegates and guests. People, activists, politician, new friend, old friendships consolidated. The guys from Rainbow Rose. The Portuguese delegation and staff. Not because of my nationality, but Paulo Pisco intervention on the environment was one of the best ones the Council eared (It was recorded and showed here), and Gisela and Hugo on the PES Staff team. Hugo as a non-stop guy, always supervising and controlling; and Gisela, in the backstage, dealing with the internet, logistics and all (you can see her interview here). It was also very interesting to met most of PES Staff and be able to see Europe in the making as all these nationalities, all these young, highly motivated men and women working towards the same goal: to build in Europe a Social Experience that would transform the old continent in the best place to be, on Earth.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Negative&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The weather, again, now because it didn’t allowed the Council to have the dimension we wanted, as much more than half the predicted attendance never showed up. For the activists this had a bigger impact as from the more than 100 expected, 10 turned out, 4 Bulgarians. The taxi drivers, as I explained here. I had another experiences, that I’ll talk in the next post, that sustained the impression that they are definitely a class of their own, with the necessary exceptions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overall&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was my fist abroad experience with the PES family. I had been in Oporto, but as I am Portuguese, it was more as an internal thing… To be able to meet so many bright people, so many people with shared interests was worth wile. Then, discover a new country, with so many traditions and history; a country proud of himself, with is eyes in the future and with high hopes on the European project, was such a wonderful feeling, that I would do it again tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;And Sofia is such an interesting city. I have to come back, at least to try out their slopes…&lt;br /&gt;So, if not soon, I’ll see you in Madrid. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-9192260465687769238?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/9192260465687769238/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=9192260465687769238' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/9192260465687769238'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/9192260465687769238'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/11/balance-from-sofia.html' title='Balance from Sofia'/><author><name>José Reis Santos</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05541543170896193331</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-1709036988280022013</id><published>2007-11-26T16:18:00.001Z</published><updated>2007-11-26T18:02:38.685Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PES'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pes Activists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sofia'/><title type='text'>Last impressions of a Political Council.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Last impressions of a Political Council.&lt;br /&gt;I haven’t seen any news coverage of the 2009 PES Council at Sofia, so I don’t know what spin the media made of it. From my perspective it was a success. Everybody already knows the weather conditions that prevented a full house plenary and the presence of more high rank officials; but, even thought, the level of the discussions and the quality time available more than compensated this unfortunate event.&lt;br /&gt;The funny thing is that I’ve been told that the airport was build in that location by German engineers in II World War, exactly because of the fog condition (it would make the place easy to defend and invisible to enemy attacks).&lt;br /&gt;The political contribute of this Council was very intense, as the Manifesto 2009 took off with attention and strength. Most of the plenary interventions were in accordance to the four main issues – Europe and the world, European democracy and diversity, New Social Europe and Save our Planet – with some very good ideas and interventions.&lt;br /&gt;The fringe meetings, most of them regarding issues of this four major points, were very interesting, at least the ones I attended. I would like to isolate the «European democracy and diversity», not only because it was the meetings I went, but because of the quality of the interventions, especially the ones of Carlos Moreno and the Rainbow Rose organization.&lt;br /&gt;This kind of organization proves to be a success. People are highly motivated to participate and the quality of discourse rises to a level of excellence. Definitely, we, European Socialists, have the ideas, project, the people and the team to build a new Europe.&lt;br /&gt;A Europe with a different role in international affairs; with a strong environmentalist discourse; and with a new green Agenda. A Europe with an active and strong relation with their citizens; who embraces differences and diversity as a genetic mark of the socialist view of contemporary societies. A Europe that takes the responsibility to achieve the goals of the New Social Europe project and, with it, operates the necessary social changes that we need, in today’s Europe.&lt;br /&gt;I want to be a part of this new Europe, and to see it from the beginning it’s a real privilege. Now, we haven’t build anything yet, there is a lot of work to be done, and the manifesto project is the one were we should gather our resources. The idea is to build a strong, straight forward, grass rooted manifesto. A Manifesto were all the European socialists could recognize themselves and that points towards this New Social Europe that we talk about.&lt;br /&gt;It is not only possible, but needed, that Europe turns left next 2009 elections. With a strong socialist majority in the European Parliament I don’t have a doubt that the New Social Europe could be a reality.&lt;br /&gt;In Oporto we were already talking of this need, in Sofia we continue to pave this road that lays ahead. This path will have its exposure at the 2009 European election, until then, we still have a lot of construction to do. Improve our ideas, our discourse, and our speech.&lt;br /&gt;The Manifesto 2009 process will be a very important initiative to assure that the relation between the PES and its grassroots is a dynamic one, and a validated one. The Socialist Family is calling for our input, our ideas, our thoughts in Europe, in our Future.&lt;br /&gt;The PES is the first European structure to try to think as a multinational party; with an European agenda, and with an integrated and articulated project between the PES, the national parties, the Activists movement, NGO’s and grassroots politics.&lt;br /&gt;So, it is up to us to help and contribute.&lt;br /&gt;You could contribute and be eared. Just log on to www.manifesto2009.pes.org, or connect to your party or the Activist movement in your county. Write a couple of ideas around the Manifesto 2009. Your idea will count.&lt;br /&gt;Politics is still made for and by the people. It is not just economics. It’s the social as well. And only the socialist project can bring a new social justice and equilibrium to a too much liberal Europe. I believe in that. And I want to contribute for this change.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-1709036988280022013?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/1709036988280022013/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=1709036988280022013' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/1709036988280022013'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/1709036988280022013'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/11/last-impressions-of-political-council.html' title='Last impressions of a Political Council.'/><author><name>José Reis Santos</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05541543170896193331</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-5320539690666955761</id><published>2007-11-26T15:17:00.001Z</published><updated>2007-11-26T15:17:24.187Z</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Balance &lt;br /&gt;The 2009 PES Council in Sofia ended. Three intense days came to an end last Friday under an intense fog that covered Sofia. He last speeches, especially those of Bulgarian PM (in a perfect English) and the one of Puol Nyrup Rasmusen were particularly brilliant and let us, European socialists, the impression that the European socialist project, and PES, is maturing every day. &lt;br /&gt;The fact that it was the Bulgarian Socialist Party the ones with the responsibility of organizing this important reunion, after the Portuguese socialists in 2006, allowed Europe the opportunity to see, in two consecutive years, both ends of Europe, the western and the eastern. It allowed also experiencing the new incoming Europe and the case of European successful integration.&lt;br /&gt;Bulgaria, in a sentence, reminds me of Portugal was before we entered the European Union: high hopes, eager to work and to be integrated, and a enthusiastic vitality that catches you. The Bulgarians, so it seemed, are humble people, honest and with a high civic sensibility. Remember that they lived under a totalitarian regime until the 90’s, and that their transitional process was not an easy one (as most of former communist countries). Even thought, they managed to maintained a certain positive civic attitude, appreciated in the fact that people in the streets, although their humility, are persecuting their regular live, with the difficulties that exists in today’s societies. They didn’t turn to crime, or begging or prostitutions, at least from what I could see in the city of Sofia. Another example can be drawn from the public transports. You don’t see any control, and the tickets are supposed to be validated in some kind of manual machine, most certainly still a remembrance of soviet times. Although all this easiness, that in some European capitals would be taken as an invitation to free-ride, the Bulgarians, young and old, validated their tickets, in a prove of civism and ethics behavior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Positive&lt;br /&gt;The people, the council organization, Sofia and the weather, that allow us to have more time to talk between ourselves and to have more face time with leaders, delegates and guests. People, activists, politician, new friend, old friendships consolidated. The guys from Rainbow Rose. The Portuguese delegation and staff. Not because of my nationality, but Paulo Pisco intervention on the environment was one of the best ones the Council eared (It was recorded and showed here), and Gisela and Hugo on the PES Staff team. Hugo as a nonstop guy, always supervising and controlling; and Gisela, in the backstage, dealing with the internet, logistics and all (you can see her interview here).    &lt;br /&gt;Negative&lt;br /&gt;The weather, again, now because it didn’t allowed the Council to have the dimension we wanted, as much more than half the predicted attendance never showed up. For the activists this had a bigger impact as from the more than 100 expected, 10 turned out, 4 Bulgarians. The taxi drivers, as I explained here. I had another experiences, that I’ll talk in the next post, that sustained the impression that they are definitely a class of their own, with the necessary exceptions.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-5320539690666955761?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/5320539690666955761/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=5320539690666955761' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/5320539690666955761'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/5320539690666955761'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/11/balance-2009-pes-council-in-sofia-ended.html' title=''/><author><name>José Reis Santos</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05541543170896193331</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-7899782192792285506</id><published>2007-11-26T14:40:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-26T14:41:33.910Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PES'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pes Activists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sofia'/><title type='text'>Interviews in Sofia</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UDYxV-8-fyE&amp;rel=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UDYxV-8-fyE&amp;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-7899782192792285506?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/7899782192792285506/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=7899782192792285506' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/7899782192792285506'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/7899782192792285506'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/11/interviews-in-sofia.html' title='Interviews in Sofia'/><author><name>José Reis Santos</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05541543170896193331</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-4552629666357634165</id><published>2007-11-25T15:25:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-26T17:23:20.582Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PES'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pes Activists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sofia'/><title type='text'>Poul Nyrup Rasmussen final intervention at the 2009 Council in Sofia</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Poul Nyrup Rasmussen final intervention at 2009 Council- 1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FcIKWX09UFI&amp;amp;rel=1"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FcIKWX09UFI&amp;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poul Nyrup Rasmussen final intervention at 2009 Council- 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kQltaNYnlEI&amp;amp;rel=1"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kQltaNYnlEI&amp;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poul Nyrup Rasmussen final intervention at 2009 Council -

Somebody told me that it was at the National History Museum, the new-one-not-the-old-one. It was in the city limits, and I would need a cab to get there. Fog was worse them it ever was, you didn't see anything from one side of the street to the other.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;After my first taxi experience in Sofia, I wasn’t seeing a good end to this journey. Fog and a 20 km trip did not seem as a good combination. The first cab I approached didn't spoke a word English. I tried to find someone in the street who could translate the address, so I could go. I did this and the guy refused to take me, insulting me in some strange ways. Luckily there was just another one behind. I was already running late.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The taxi drivers in Bulgaria are not as the ones in Portugal, fat old man, with the classic moustache, sometimes drunk and so on... no, the ones in Bulgaria are between 30-40 years old, they all go to the gym and are big as hell... This is the picture. You definitely want to be in their good side.Anyway... I took this second taxi. The man was learning English for one year and I started to try to have something of a conversation. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;After the basic exchange of words and short sentences, it evolved to a football conversation, always a classic topic to engage with a foreigner taxi driver. Euro this, Euro that, Portugal - Figo -Ronaldo - Mourinho; Bulgaria - Barbatov - Petrov - ?...; I told him I went to see Bulgaria at the Euro 2004, in Portugal (they lost 5-0 against Sweden) and the fog was deeper and deeper.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;As we drove outside city limits I started to wonder:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;- Deep fog, trees, no transit, strange narrowed roads, a taxi driver and a yuppie tourist (that’s what probably people would think of us)... this is not ending well...I think I’ve seen such a movie…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The football continued. Now it’s Benfica and CSKA, Rui Costa, and our shared historical background. Benfica Portugal greatest, CSKA, Bulgaria greatest. we managed to see, I am not exaggerating, 5-10 meters ahead. All of a sudden he goes out of this narrowed main road turning to a no road path. I was thinking:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;- what about now? Is this it?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In a distance we saw some light. Fading. Football continued. We arrived at a gate, I saw some security and he stopped.- It’s here. There is supposed to be a big building, house to the former soviet government, but with the fog we don't see anything.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The security guys approached me, I identified myself and they showed me the way: towards the lights...The fare was 6 Lev 30 ; 3 euro 15 cents. (&lt;a href="http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/11/arriving.html"&gt;I paid almost 20 Lev from the airport&lt;/a&gt;, which was roughly the same distance) I gave him 10, we shake hands and anticipated a Benfica - CSKA next Champions League.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The reception was flawless, imperial style, big building, lots of ancient stuff (all with Bulgarian titles, with no translation whatsoever, so we didn't know what we were looking at), the traditional folk groups (&lt;a href="http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/11/dinner.html"&gt;15 mature women&lt;/a&gt;), and a very nice three string trio (&lt;a href="http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/11/dinner.html"&gt;young trendy girls&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Diner was a buffet, a good one, and ended around 22.30 because all the buses were leaving and we had no change of staying. Because I'm still in Portuguese time, I was leaving diner at 20.30, already eaten. The buses all had hotels as destinations, the hotels were everybody is hosted. I took one, randomly, that took me at the Council place, were I managed to get the last tram heading to the centre of Sofia, where I'm staying.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I arrived at the hotel and went to work thinking about this Benfica - CSKA in next year champions...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-547346150635021727?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/547346150635021727/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=547346150635021727' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/547346150635021727'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/547346150635021727'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/11/diner.html' title='Dinner (2)'/><author><name>José Reis Santos</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05541543170896193331</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-2689176629678620609</id><published>2007-11-23T09:34:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-23T09:51:26.903Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PES'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pes Activists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sofia'/><title type='text'>Dinner</title><content type='html'>Text will follow shortly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OUCph7wldRw/R0aiUzLqpNI/AAAAAAAACdU/068gyKY4Ll0/s1600-h/018.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135970903282853074" style="DISPLAY: block;

Zita Gurmai chaired both sessions.&lt;br /&gt;With a good audience, the first hour was dedicated to the diversity problems that Europe is feeling today, mainly the ones regarding minority rights. The main idea was that if all the known laws were attended, the minority rights problem would never exists. It is a matter of enforcing policies that already are written. On this topic we call your attention to the &lt;a href="http://rainbowrose.hes-france.org/IMG/pdf/R.ROSE_CONTRIBUTION_2009_MANIFESTO.pdf"&gt;contribution delivered &lt;/a&gt;by the &lt;a href="http://www.rainbowrose.eu/"&gt;Rainbow Rose &lt;/a&gt;organization, a guest at the Council.&lt;br /&gt;Another topic was the value fight that we, socialists, are losing to the right wing parties, mainly because of its strategy to create think tanks, focus groups and so on dedicated to the construction of a political discourse. This articulated move, going on for the past 30 years, have already create an intellectual and political elite without the socialist counterpart. The idea of a European Foundation came in support if this undisputable need.&lt;br /&gt;The second sessions was dedicated to «democracy», and I liked very much the intervention of a Spanish MEP, Carlos Carnero, who spoke about the necessity of creating an European party, to bring more Europe to the common citizen. He gave also the idea of presenting a Commission President candidate, supported by PES in 2009, as well as the candidate exchange experience that could exist in the next European elections.&lt;br /&gt;With a lively and participated debate (where I also intervened) the session was closed and people were send to their hotels to freshen up to be presentable at the reception that will take place in 15 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;Needless to say that yours truly is not going to the hotel, will not change or freshen up or anything else, and if he doesn’t finish this text soon he will miss the reception.&lt;br /&gt;So… from Sofia we close the report for the day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-7111713585827491357?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/7111713585827491357/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=7111713585827491357' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/7111713585827491357'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/7111713585827491357'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/11/european-democracy-and-diversity.html' title='European democracy and diversity'/><author><name>José Reis Santos</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05541543170896193331</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-8152055277004192061</id><published>2007-11-22T16:54:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-22T16:55:55.857Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PES'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pes Activists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sofia'/><title type='text'>Video</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iEJYt870IhE&amp;rel=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iEJYt870IhE&amp;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-8152055277004192061?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/8152055277004192061/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=8152055277004192061' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/8152055277004192061'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/8152055277004192061'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/11/video.html' title='Video'/><author><name>José Reis Santos</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05541543170896193331</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-3159495501738719242</id><published>2007-11-22T15:11:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-22T16:32:22.547Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PES'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pes Activists'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sofia'/><title type='text'>It started</title><content type='html'>It started&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 2007 Council began, despite weather conditions. Fog in Sofia led to the closing of the Airport and to the impossibility of 2/3 arriving. There are stories of delegates, activists and guests spread all over Eastern Europe, from Romania to other Bulgarian small Aero ports.&lt;br /&gt;Well, the show must go on, so some say…&lt;br /&gt;It’s with a 1/3 house that the works started, and it was with joy that I saw one of the panels be dedicated to the Childcare initiative. As you probably know, we in Portugal organized a very interesting session with Viera da Silva, Jorge Lacão, Zita Gurmai, and Edite Estrela, late April.&lt;br /&gt;But we are not here to report on our initiatives, so, back to Sofia…&lt;br /&gt;It was a very interesting session, in a very informal format, with Poul on stage interviewing Zita Gurmai, Ania Skrypeck, Claudette Baldacchino and Harlem Désir.&lt;br /&gt;All of them had a strong message to share. I’ve already knew Zita and Ania speech; both of them top level, but to see more and more people talking about the importance of the Childcare programme is very ensuring and gives hope in the socialist project for Europe,.&lt;br /&gt;Poul usually gives his grandson, age 6, as example of what Europe can and should be, and the Childcare campaign is no more then another opportunity to put the next generation together, with the common goal of building a New Social Europe, lead by socialists, towards a better tomorrow for the unprivileged and marginalized.&lt;br /&gt;You can see the video of the session here.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-3159495501738719242?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/3159495501738719242/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=3159495501738719242' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/3159495501738719242'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/3159495501738719242'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/11/it-started.html' title='It started'/><author><name>José Reis Santos</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05541543170896193331</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-1313919459433513533</id><published>2007-11-22T11:10:00.001Z</published><updated>2007-11-22T11:10:56.162Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PES'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sofia'/><title type='text'>Zdravei from Sofia!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="left"&gt;Hello European campaigners,&lt;br /&gt;Zdravei from Sofia!&lt;br /&gt;I am - together with the rest of the Yourspace campaigning team - in Bulgaria for the PES Council.

I arrived one day before the Council starts, yesterday, which was a good thing because today the airport is closed due to weather conditions (what explains the few people at the council, the limited number of activists and the numbers of some delegations), and what I had the opportunity to see this backstage that allows the Show to exist.&lt;br /&gt;Of course I helped.&lt;br /&gt;People here, I must say, are so nice and kind, always helping and interested in trying to understand what you are trying to communicate. I think this Council will be a very good experience. &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135619763936601090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OUCph7wldRw/R0Vi9zLqpAI/AAAAAAAACbs/vESrz8XvFKM/s400/015.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135619763936601106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OUCph7wldRw/R0Vi9zLqpBI/AAAAAAAACb0/lOm6H_emK_M/s400/018.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-4087417648794538024?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/4087417648794538024/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=4087417648794538024' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/4087417648794538024'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/4087417648794538024'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/11/putting-show.html' title='Putting the Show'/><author><name>José Reis Santos</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05541543170896193331</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OUCph7wldRw/R0Vi9TLqo_I/AAAAAAAACbk/tNZzHIcUZv8/s72-c/009.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-5657267863443143109</id><published>2007-11-22T10:47:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-22T10:58:13.818Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='PES'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sofia'/><title type='text'>Arriving</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OUCph7wldRw/R0VgdjLqo1I/AAAAAAAACaU/blplF5faKb4/s1600-h/004.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135617010862564178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OUCph7wldRw/R0VgdjLqo1I/AAAAAAAACaU/blplF5faKb4/s400/004.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Arriving&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I arrived today at Sofia. It is a Big journey from Lisbon, reminding me that we, in Portugal, are really at the end of Europe.&lt;br /&gt;I left home at 4.40 am, and arrived at 16 pm, local time, after a 3 hour stop at Munich. There I had a strange experience. Stepping out of the bus that took us to the Airport (from the plane), a policemen came to me, introduce himself, said he was from costumes, and ask me to carry a bag with me. I look at him, I look at his badge and I wondered:&lt;br /&gt;– is this for real???&lt;br /&gt;He then came to explain that they were training costume dogs to catch drugs, and that this will be a test.&lt;br /&gt;Since I was in Germany, and he was doing it in open air, were everybody was seeing, I thought:&lt;br /&gt;- It’s probably real. This is Munich, after all. I’ll have a go at it.&lt;br /&gt;So, he gave me a bag, with the drugs (cocaine he said), and as, I was passing through costumes, this big German Sheppard, after smelling the bag, jumped at me. He was a big fella, and the god thing was that he was soon controlled by his keeper. What an original way to enter a country, I must say..&lt;br /&gt;The German Sheppard passed the test.&lt;br /&gt;After this adventure, and another plane trip, I arrived in Sofia. Freezing. Snow all over the place, showing me that the all the time summer weather we have in Portugal is not shared with the rest of Europe. We are still wearing shorts at home...&lt;br /&gt;I went to the hotel, after being sightseeing with the taxi driver (all the taxi drivers are alike, aren’t they?...), took a shower and went straight to the Council venue.&lt;br /&gt;After asking directions to a non English speaking population (most of the old people don’t speak English), and trying to read the Cyrillic-base signs, I managed to took the tram to the venue, but it the wrong way. Instead of a 5 minutes trip, it took me an hour through traffic, a bus change and a wonderful experience in Sofia transport system at rush hour.&lt;br /&gt;I arrived.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135617015157531490" style="DISPLAY: block;

Pela primeira vez, os Activistas foram convidados a participar nos trabalhos, com direito de intervir e apresentar propostas. De toda a Europa serão várias dezenas os que irão comparecer. O PES Activists Portugal também terá representação própria, tendo o seu coordenar sido convidado a participar no blogue colectivo de apoio que os Activistas prepararam para seguir o Conselho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A página dedicada ao acompanhamento dos trabalhos do Conselho é a seguinte:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pes.org/content/view/1161/1700100"&gt;http://www.pes.org/content/view/1161/1700100&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A página do Partido Socialista Europeu é a seguinte:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pes.org/"&gt;http://www.pes.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O blogue colectivo de apoio ao Conselho de Sófia tem esta morada:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pesatsofia2007.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://pesatsofia2007.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esperamos que este Conselho apresente um sinal importante no sentido de destacar a dinâmica dos Activistas como peça importante no processo de consulta recentemente lançada para o Manifesto 2009, central na estratégia do Partido Socialista Europeu nas próximas eleições europeias.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desta forma convidamos todos os militantes do Partido Socialista a visitarem e comentarem online o que for acontecendo, aproveitando a oportunidade de interagir com os trabalhos em Sófia, nomeadamente através do blogue, com sugestões, comentários, críticas e questões.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esperamos a visita,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sem mais&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pelos PES Activists Portugal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;José Reis Santos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-4593532251894029166?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/4593532251894029166/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=4593532251894029166' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/4593532251894029166'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/4593532251894029166'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/11/conselho-do-partido-socialista-europeu.html' title='Conselho do Partido Socialista Europeu, dias 22 e 23 de Novembro, em Sófia (Bulgária)'/><author><name>Pedro Miguel Cardoso</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15821482383363949825</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-3505550488705995783</id><published>2007-11-20T15:55:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-20T16:13:42.738Z</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://dn.sapo.pt/2007/11/20/nacional/ue_aprova_estatuto_especial_para_cab.html"&gt;Segundo o Diário de Notícias&lt;/a&gt;, o arquipélago de Cabo Verde vai passar a ser "parceiro especial" da União Europeia (UE). Um estatuto que ontem mereceu um acordo de princípio dos 27 Estados membros, reunidos em Bruxelas. É um "momento único e histórico", reagiu o primeiro-ministro cabo-verdiano, José Maria Neves, qualificando a parceria como um "ganho extraordinário" para o país.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A decisão, saída do Conselho de Assuntos Gerais e Relações Externas da UE, vem dar um desfecho positivo ao processo de negociações formalmente iniciado em Janeiro, e que mereceu o empenho particular da diplomacia portuguesa. Com a parceria ontem estabelecida, Cabo Verde terá acesso a fundos europeus em circunstâncias privilegiadas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De acordo com as conclusões ontem adoptadas pelos 27, as duas partes passarão a estabelecer um quadro de diálogo político regular com base em "valores e princípios comuns". Boa governação, segurança e estabilidade, integração regional, sociedade do conhecimento e da informação e luta contra a pobreza serão áreas de cooperação privilegiada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desde os anos 90 que é discutida informalmente a hipótese de Cabo Verde desenvolver relações especiais com a UE. A questão chegou a ir mais longe que o cenário de uma parceria privilegiada. Em 2005, Mário Soares e Adriano Moreira lançaram uma petição defendendo a entrada do arquipélago na União.

O modelo cipriota também não pode ser adaptado ao Kosovo, nem tão pouco as propostas de federação ou de confederação com a Sérvia. Nenhuma dessas ideias se tem de pé", disse Thaci.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O líder do PDK, principal partido vencedor das eleições de sábado, afirmou ainda que os representantes do Kosovo vão continuar a negociar com a Sérvia, no quadro dos esforços da Troika (Rússia, Estados Unidos, União Europeia) até à data prevista, 10 de Dezembro, mas salienta não esperar chegar a um acordo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Depois de 10 de Dezembro, o Kosovo tomará a sua decisão (sobre a independência) depois de consultas com Washington e Bruxelas", disse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoje, à entrada para uma reunião dos MNE's dos 27, em Bruxelas, o presidente em exercício do Conselho de ministros da UE, Luís Amado, disse que a União Europeia esperará até "ao último minuto" das negociações para tomar uma "posição clara" sobre o futuro estatuto do Kosovo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Sérvia opõe-se totalmente à independência do Kosovo, que considera berço da sua cultura e da sua história.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;font-family:webdings;" &gt;Mais um desafio para a presidência portuguesa. É fundamental que a União Europeia adopte uma posição comum. De qualquer forma a resolução deste diferendo, dadas as forças e posições em jogo (a Rússia apoia totalmente a Sérvia), parece não estar para breve.

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;O aquecimento global vai "afectar mais duramente os países mais pobres e mais vulneráveis", disse Yvo de Boer, na abertura de uma reunião do Painel Intergovernamental para as Alterações Climáticas (IPCC), em Valência, Espanha.Até sábado, cientistas e representantes governamentais vão concluir o quarto relatório do IPCC sobre o estado o aquecimento global. Será uma síntese de três relatórios já lançados anteriormente este ano.Os cenários do IPCC apontam para aumentos de 1,1 graus Celsius a 6,4 graus Celsius na temperatura média global até 2100, relativamente aos valores de 1980-1999. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Mas, diz o IPCC, ainda há tempo para limitar a subida da temperatura e evitar consequências desastrosas."Não reconhecer a urgência desta mensagem e da necessidade de agir seria nada menos do que criminalmente irresponsável", afirmou Yvo de Boer. O relatório-síntese do IPCC funcionará como um ponto da situação para as negociações de um novo acordo internacional sobre as alterações climáticas. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;O Protocolo de Quioto, que obriga os países desenvolvidos a reduzir as suas emissões de gases que alteram o clima, só tem metas até 2012. Uma conferência da ONU em Bali, em Dezembro, vai discutir o que fazer a seguir.Algumas organizações ambientalistas estão preocupadas com a possibilidade de interferências dos governos no texto final do IPCC. Os relatórios produzidos e revistos por mais de 2000 cientistas são condensados em "sumários para decisores políticos", cuja redacção é votada linha a linha. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"Há um contraste entre a enorme riqueza do trabalho do IPCC e os cortes de inspiração política nos sumários", afirma Hans Verolme, da organização internacional WWF, num comunicado.

type='text'>"Conferência de Annapolis passa por discussão em Lisboa"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;'A preparação da conferência de Annapolis, nos Estados Unidos, para relançar o processo de paz no Médio Oriente foi o tema central dos encontros ontem em Lisboa da troika da União Europeia com os chefes da diplomacia de Israel, Tzipi Livni, da Autoridade Palestiniana, Riad Malki, e do Grupo Árabe.Os encontros decorreram no âmbito da 9.ª Conferência Interministerial Euromediterrânica, que reúne os 27 chefes da diplomacia europeus com os seus homólogos dos países ribeirinhos do Sul. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A presidência portuguesa está empenhada em criar "o melhor clima possível" para a conferência, decidida na reunião de Julho, em Lisboa, do Quarteto internacional para o Médio Oriente (UE, EUA, Rússia e ONU). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Embora reconhecendo que "as coisas estão agora fundamentalmente nas mãos" da secretária de Estado norte-americana, Condoleezza Rice, a diplomacia portuguesa quer aproveitar o formato "único" da Parceria Euromediterrânica, que reúne à volta da mesa israelitas, palestinianos e árabes, para ajudar a "afinar" alguns aspectos com vista à conferência de Annapolis, agendada para finais de Novembro. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A Europa está ainda empenhada em preparar uma conferência de doadores em Dezembro, para mobilizar apoios para o Governo do presidente palestiniano Mahmoud Abbas. Prevista para o jantar oficial de ontem estava uma intervenção do chefe da diplomacia francesa, Bernard Kouchner, sobre a iniciativa de Paris para uma União Mediterrânica. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A maioria dos parceiros europeus ainda vê a ideia com reservas, considerando-a potencialmente "concorrente" da actual Parceria Euromediterrânica, lançada há 12 anos em Barcelona. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Ontem, a comissária responsável pela Política de Vizinhança europeia, Benita Ferrero-Waldner, disse que a iniciativa francesa "será bem vinda" desde que "represente uma mais-valia" em relação ao Processo de Barcelona.

Essencialmente na área do trabalho, talvez o código do trabalho seja o mais violado, não havendo cumprimento não só das regras de higiene e segurança mas também de situações básicas como o salário mínimo nacional, pagamento de horas extraordinárias e correspondência entre os contratos e a função que os trabalhadores de facto exercem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Também há um mau reconhecimento de quem revela boas prácticas, concretamente com tanta mudança de instituições responsáveis pelas condições de trabalho ficou suspenso concurso "Prémio Prevenir Mais Viver Melhor no Trabalho" e consequentemente a não devolução dos trabalhos apresentados.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sempre na busca de um Portugal mais justo e motivador,&lt;br /&gt;Encontro-me ao dispor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cumprimentos,&lt;br /&gt;Patrícia Cunha Mendonça,&lt;br /&gt;Advogada&lt;br /&gt;(Militante)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-2030355570118536942?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/2030355570118536942/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=2030355570118536942' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/2030355570118536942'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/2030355570118536942'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/11/activista-activa.html' title='Activista Activa'/><author><name>José Reis Santos</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05541543170896193331</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-7173589531442400684</id><published>2007-11-03T22:42:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-11-03T22:45:50.680Z</updated><title type='text'>Plano de acção a aprovar na cimeira UE-África defende parceria estratégica a partir de 2008</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Quando os chefes de Estado e de governo de África e da União Europeia (UE) se reunirem em Dezembro para a cimeira de Lisboa, muito do que será aprovado já terá sido previamente negociado e delineado na Parceria Estratégica e no Plano de Acção, documentos que ficaram definidos numa deslocação, esta semana, do ministro dos Negócios Estrangeiros, Luís Amado, ao Gana.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Segundo o esboço dos documentos, a que o PÚBLICO teve acesso, o plano de acção - que corresponde aos dois primeiros anos, 2008 e 2009, da estratégia de longo prazo - tem como objectivo de fundo acrescentar valor ao diálogo político e à cooperação já existentes entre a UE e África. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Para isso, as duas organizações definiram acções prioritárias: Paz e Segurança, Governação Democrática e Direitos Humanos, Comércio e Integração Regional, a criação de condições para os países africanos atingirem os objectivos relativos ao acesso à saúde e à educação, definidos pela ONU como Objectivos do Milénio, o Ambiente, a Energia ou a Imigração, entre outras.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Em comum a todas as áreas, a preocupação de melhorar o diálogo entre os dois continentes. E, ao mesmo tempo, criar as bases para pôr os objectivos que ficarem escritos no papel a funcionar na prática, com o objectivo de, a pouco e pouco, concretizar a estratégia de longo prazo. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Esta passa, entre outros aspectos, pelo desejo de "juntos promover e apoiar um sistema de multilateralismo efectivo e instituições multilaterais legítimas e fortes", refere o documento. Para que a nova parceria de longo prazo seja bem sucedida, será preciso que África e UE "se distanciem da relação tradicional" e iniciem uma "parceria que se caracterize pela igualdade" e o alcance de "objectivos comuns". &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A cimeira servirá para formalizar esta e outras grandes linhas de orientação para o novo relacionamento entre os dois continentes.

For German social democrats European democracy means government based on responsible and accountable parliamentary procedures.&lt;br /&gt;For the SPD this implies that the European Parliament must stand on equal footing with the European Council. The Parliament should at the same time control the other European institution: for the SPD it has to be the European Parliament which elects the President of the European Commission.&lt;br /&gt;A strong parliamentary democracy needs parties: the SPD wants to develop the PES into a real member party based on a long term program and the capacity to act effectively. At the elections for the European Parliament the SPD proposes one top social democratic candidate.&lt;br /&gt;The SPD proposes structured cooperation of those member states which want to go further down the road towards a more democratic Europe.

He has left his life but not our minds, not our memories. It was only recently I was speaking to him and the whole Portuguese delegation about the challenges ahead. I always believe that if you don’t fight, you don’t count – and Fausto was someone who did stand up for his ideas, for our common ideas.

Já &lt;a href="http://lojadeideias.blogspot.com/2007/10/antnio-jos-seguro.html"&gt;aqui&lt;/a&gt; tinhamos referido algumas das suas caracteristicas por nós preferidas. Hoje encontro nele um excelente &lt;a href="http://www.antoniojoseseguro.com/default.asp?id=43"&gt;texto sobre as recentes eleições no Partido Democrático &lt;/a&gt;Italiano (escritas por uma activista atenta).&lt;br /&gt;Teremos do texto importantes ilacções a retirar, nomeadamente no que refere a relação entre a «sociedade política» e a «sociedade civil», tema a nós, e ao &lt;a href="http://www.antoniojoseseguro.com/default.asp"&gt;António José Seguro&lt;/a&gt;, muito próximo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.antoniojoseseguro.com/default.asp?id=43"&gt;Novidades de Itália&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No passado domingo dia 14 de Outubro, mais de 3 milhões de italianos escolheram o líder do novo Partido Democrático (PD), nas primeiras “eleições primárias” do país.&lt;br /&gt;O Partido Democrático é, na realidade, o resultado de um processo iniciado na Itália depois do final da guerra fria.&lt;br /&gt;Nessa altura (1990), o Partido Comunista mudou para Partido Democrático da Esquerda (PDS, depois renomeado DS), membro do Partido Socialista Europeu, desde Novembro 1992.&lt;br /&gt;Nessa fase apareceram em Itália novos partidos políticos, tal como a Forza Itália de Silvio Berlusconi.&lt;br /&gt;Outros partidos, pelo contrário, desaparecerem. Em particular, o Partido Cristão Democrata (DC), desmembrando-se em dois: o Partito Popolare (PPI) e Cristãos Democratas Unidos (CDU).&lt;br /&gt;O PPI integrou desde essa altura a coligação de centro-esquerda (O Olivo) liderado por Romano Prodi; e a CDU fez parte da coligação de centro-direita liderada por Silvio Berlusconi.&lt;br /&gt;Nos últimos anos o PPI formou um novo partido – chamado Margherida – que reúne o PPI com outros políticos de centro-esquerda, entre os quais o antigo Presidente da Câmara Municipal de Roma, Francesco Rutelli.&lt;br /&gt;O problema é que em Itália, principalmente por causa da lei eleitoral, mas não só, o panorama político aparece-nos fragmentado e instável: o Governo Prodi, por exemplo é formado por uma coligação de nove partidos e a sua sobrevivência no Senado é assegurada pelo voto dos Senadores nomeados! Na Itália, há 7 senadores nomeados vitaliciamente, pelo Presidente da República, atendendo aos seus méritos pessoais.&lt;br /&gt;As infinitas discussões e a baixa eficácia das instituições têm sido a causa mais recente de fenómenos de rejeição da política da parte dos cidadãos, de que é exemplo o “Vaffa Day”, organizado pelo cómico Beppe Grillo: um dia, no qual milhares de pessoas se reuniram para protestar contra “a politica” e “os partidos políticos” em geral.&lt;br /&gt;Apesar do sistema democrático italiano não estar a ser posto em causa, estes são sinais muito preocupantes.&lt;br /&gt;Neste quadro, a decisão dos leaders dos DS e da Margherita de formar um só partido, o Partido Democrático, foi uma aposta dificil e corajosa.&lt;br /&gt;Unir duas tradições e histórias políticas tão diferentes não foi e não vai ser tarefa fácil. Mais valeu a pena fazê-lo: a amplíssima e inesperada participação das pessoas nas “primárias” para a eleição do líder do novo partido demonstrou que foi uma boa escolha, apesar de algumas dúvidas sobre o método escolhido.&lt;br /&gt;Nestas primárias, os eleitores (todos os residentes na Italia de mais de 16 anos podiam ser eleitores) tinham que escolher tanto o líder no novo partido, como os 2500 membros da Assembleia Constituinte do PD (que vai reunir-se pela primeira vez no final do mês, em Milão).&lt;br /&gt;Todavia, por um lado, sabia-se desde o princípio que dos três candidatos principais - Walter Veltroni, Enrico Letta e Rosy Bindi – era o primero, e actual Presidente da Câmara Municipal de Roma, quem iria ganhar. E assim aconteceu.&lt;br /&gt;Por outro lado, o sistema eleitoral escolhido foi muito criticado, por ser muito penalizador para os candidatos com menor notoriedade (e de facto a maioria absoluta dos membros da assembleia constituinte do novo partido é constituída por ex-membros dos DS), e pelo facto das listas dos candidatos serem fechadas. O resultado foi que líderes políticos importantes para o processo reformista italiano, de que Giuliano Amato é o exemplo mais sonante, não foram eleitos para a Assembleia Constituinte.&lt;br /&gt;Isto poderia ter causado muita desilusão nos potenciais eleitores. Bem pelo contrário, a enorme afluência ao voto – com filas em toda Itália! – e o entusiasmo dos votantes mostrou com clareza que os Italianos perceberam a importância desta novidade no sistema partidário: ser de facto fundadores de uma nova, e importante, formação política, num processo bottom-up (ou quase). Ainda mais importante se pensarmos que o maior partido hoje existente em Itália (pelo menos em termos de votos) continua a ser Forza Itália, o qual – ao contrário do PD – foi fundado (e financiado) pelo seu líder, ainda hoje líder também da coligação do centro-direita, num processo up-bottom.&lt;br /&gt;Com este voto, os Italianos também mostraram que não são todos contra a política como alguns pretenderiam, mas que, ao mesmo tempo, querem fortemente que a transição, que começou depois do final da guerra fria, seja completada. Só com uma serie de reformas importantes do sistema político e institucional, desde logo a da lei eleitoral, pode a Itália, enfim, tornar-se num pais “normal”, com uma maioria que governa e uma oposição que faz a oposição, entre as quais os cidadãos possam escolher na base dos resultados alcançados e não das promessas eleitorais nunca compridas.&lt;br /&gt;Federiga Bindi&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-1431381566010162612?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/1431381566010162612/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=1431381566010162612' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/1431381566010162612'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/1431381566010162612'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/10/notcias-de-itlia.html' title='Notícias de Itália'/><author><name>José Reis Santos</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05541543170896193331</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OUCph7wldRw/RyCr_haXt1I/AAAAAAAAB9c/7lCiiowk6Ag/s72-c/untitled.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-1606786705478392043</id><published>2007-10-25T15:33:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-10-25T15:34:49.011+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pes Activists'/><title type='text'>Activismo Europeu</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Dear activist,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Romanian PES member party PSD is organising an activists camp during the Romanian election campaign (2-4 November).

Tenho hoje um mandato para começar conversações com os nossos amigos italianos», declarou Poul Rasmussen, em conferência de imprensa, antes da cimeira informal de Lisboa.&lt;br /&gt;O novo Partido Democrata italiano resulta da fusão dos dois principais partidos da coligação no poder, dirigida por Romano Prodi, os Democratas de Esquerda (DS), saídos do extinto Partido Comunista Italiano, e a Margarida (coligação de católicos de esquerda).&lt;br /&gt;Walter Veltroni, presidente da câmara de Roma, foi eleito secretário-geral do recém-criado partido, numa votação que contou com a participação de mais de três milhões de pessoas.&lt;br /&gt;Poul Rasmussen, que falava no final da reunião do PSE que antecedeu a cimeira de Lisboa, considerou que se vive «uma nova situação em que o centro-esquerda tem de se unir como em Itália, para uma nova era do centro-esquerda na Europa».&lt;br /&gt;O chanceler da Áustria, Alfred Gusenbauer, também presente na conferência de imprensa, concordou que se assiste à «composição de um novo projecto de centro-esquerda, não só na Itália».&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://diariodigital.sapo.pt/news.asp?id_news=300180"&gt;Diário Digital/Lusa&lt;/a&gt; (18.10.2007)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-245340357501783092?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/245340357501783092/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=245340357501783092' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/245340357501783092'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/245340357501783092'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/10/novo-centro-esquerda.html' title='Novo centro-esquerda'/><author><name>José Reis Santos</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05541543170896193331</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865747420294205354.post-504463817980007304</id><published>2007-10-22T14:27:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-10-22T14:28:14.885+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pes Activists'/><title type='text'>Manifesto 2009</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Dear Activist,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swedish Social Democrat Leader Mona Sahlin has agreed to take part in the first PES Yourspace manifesto2009 YouTube debate!

O texto final está por seu lado pronto para ser aprovado politicamente na cimeira da próxima semana, em Lisboa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;(...)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Mas, de acordo com um diplomata europeu ligado às negociações, a mensagem que estes países fazem chegar muito em privado às outras capitais é que ratificarão o novo tratado por via par-lamentar. Ninguém tem grandes dúvidas de que Portugal acabará por fazer o mesmo, sob pena de pôr em risco a sobrevivência de um texto que foi concebido, precisamente, para facilitar as ratificações. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;O método&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Para isso, os Vinte e Sete despiram o novo tratado de todos os elementos "constitucionais" e dos aspectos mais controversos, concedendo pelo caminho ao Reino Unido a possibilidade de ficar de fora da Carta dos Direitos Fundamentais e da cooperação policial e judiciária.

Foi o que disse no final de um encontro à porta fechada com as comissões parlamentares dos Negócios Estrangeiros e dos Assuntos Europeus, ao fim da tarde de ontem em São Bento. "Acredito que haverá um acordo político em relação ao tratado este mês de Outubro", disse. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Que, em seu entender, "representará o melhor sinal de confiança possível às sociedades e às economias europeias". Recusou-se a falar do referendo - "agora estamos a tratar do tratado, depois de haver tratado, decidiremos a forma de o ratificar e Portugal" -, mas disse acreditar que "os cidadãos europeu estão ao lado deste tratado, no sentido de que a União se mostre mais forte e mais capaz de responder aos problemas globais"."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; Artigo publicado no Jornal Público, no dia 9 de Outubro de 2007&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5865747420294205354-6513296546299648770?l=lusopes.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/feeds/6513296546299648770/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5865747420294205354&amp;postID=6513296546299648770' title='0 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/6513296546299648770'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5865747420294205354/posts/default/6513296546299648770'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lusopes.blogspot.com/2007/10/negociaes-do-tratado-reformador-marco.html' title='&quot;Negociações do Tratado Reformador&quot; - Marco Lacomblez Leitão'/><author><name>Marco Lacomblez Leitão</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
