'Carbon is life, say no to the climate scam! Vote ADN' National Democratic Alternative (Alternativa Democrática Nacional - ADN) made the most cringe, absurd, denialist billboard for the national election next Sunday. A cow farting on the UN Agenda 2030 🐄💨
New article (in Portuguese) about Chega and authoritarian legacies 🔥 At the next national elections (10 March) many will cast a vote for Chega, and they represent an electorate that is extremely nostalgic of the Salazar regime 👇 expresso.pt/opiniao/2024...
Os eleitores do Chega destacam-se dos restantes quando se trata de sentir saudades dos ‘bons velhos tempos’ de Salazar. De facto, os eleitores do Chega são muito mais propensos a dizer que Salazar est...
Last year I published a semiotic/political analysis of all the right-wing posters across Lisbon. You can find the article here 👇 populismobserver.com/2023/03/06/s...
When I go to the office, I usually take the bike lane along Avenida da República, one of the principal arteries of Lisbon. All political parties rely on the traffic to force the countless drivers to s...
What will happen to the Portuguese Left? Is the last orthodox Communist party in Western Europe going to survive? Will the socialists be able to rise once again from their ashes? Read my analysis of (left-wing) political billboards ahead of new elections 👇 populismobserver.com/2024/02/29/a...

I wrote an article (in Italian) about memory conflicts across Europe. Wolrd War 2 used as a terrain of memorial conflict, Elon Musk at Auschwitz, the German memory of the Holocaust used against Palestinians, the lack of memory of fascist crimes, and much more. jacobinitalia.it/ll-conflitto...
Il dibattito su come decidiamo di ricordare il passato non è mai stato così attuale, e allo stesso tempo così frustrante, pieno di cortocircuiti storici
Portugal is Possible. Ossanda Liber. (ND) 1) Political message: 5/10 (although Portugal has been existing for almost 1000 years) 2) Aesthetics: 5/10 (blue, water, sky...neutral evil?) 3) Overall: 5/10 (soothing and dystopic in equal parts)
100% Partido Novo. Dignified future. "Austrian school of economics". 100% life. 100% freedom. 100% private property. 100% traditional family. 1) Political message: 1/10 2) Aesthetics: 1/10 3) Overall: 1/10 (but it makes my day everytime I see it, it's so bad it's actually funny)
