Como poderão já ter notado, foi publicada a carta hoje, no Público on-line, em defesa de uma reforma da Ciência, com autonomia, ambição e responsabilidade: www.publico.pt/2025/11/15/c...
Se concordarem, era mesmo importante recolher assinaturas neste link: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Por uma ciência autónoma, ambiciosa e responsável

Reformas desta escala, quando feitas sem um claro desenho institucional, modelo de governança e plano de transição rigoroso, correm o risco de gerar incerteza, inércia e paralisia administrativa.

Sondagem. Pela primeira vez, Gouveia e Melo não lidera. Marques Mendes à frente, Ventura logo atrás.

O ex-almirante passa para terceiro, atrás de Ventura e de Marques Mendes mas dentro da margem de erro de 4%. Ventura perderia contra todos os três da frente numa segunda volta.

All this and more on the link above, and many thanks to the wonderful @bonniefield.bsky.social for all her support in the publication process. 5/5

Marina Costa Lobo @marinacostalobo.bsky.social · Oct 27

Voting expectations were confirmed: a lower turnout compared to the leg election, and a lower combined vote share for the larger parties. However, this difference in vote share was exclusively driven by Chega, which lost 8.3 per cent points with EU attitudes indeed played a role in this outcome. 4/5

Marina Costa Lobo @marinacostalobo.bsky.social · Oct 27

Yet, we found no evidence that the news coverage of the 2024 EP election became more ‘European’. Despite not having a single MEP, Chega and its leader, André Ventura, received more media attention than other parties represented in the EP. 3/5

Marina Costa Lobo @marinacostalobo.bsky.social · Oct 27

In PT, this election was special for two reasons: held just three months after the legislative elections, and with extreme right Chega as the third main party with 50 seats in national parliament we expected an increase of the salience of EU-related issues due to less elite consensus on Europe. 2/5

Francisco Pinto Balsemão, who as prime minister helped guide Portugal’s new democracy after years of dictatorship — and who was later head of the country’s largest private media group, Impresa — died on Tuesday. He was 88.

A Mariana Mortágua faz uma leitura lúcida dos resultados e suas consequências ao contrário de outros q insistem em agarrar-se aos lugares mesmo dp de mais de uma dezena de mortos. Mas n é ela a principal responsável pela trajectória do BE. Há o contexto, e há a irresponsabilidade do BE desde 2022.

Two truths about Dutch politics a few days ahead of elections

1. 5 parties poll bw. 10 and 20%: green-left, left lib, right lib, Chr dem, far right. The entire spectrum.

2. Far right and far right-leaning parties (notably the right libs) have close to 50%. Crazy, esp. if you keep point 1 in mind.
