  • Círculos Eleitorais Diz Respeito, Com Impacto, Fundamentalmente, Nas Eleições Para a Assembleia Da República
    Proposta “Um Portugal mais Coeso Pela Democracia” Hélder Guerreiro Resumo O processo democrático e a democracia exigem um trabalho permanente de perceção sobre as realidades que assentam muitas vezes em transformações incompletas ou sentidos de pertença que nos escapam. A receita de hoje, quando queremos debelar o défice de participação das pessoas no processo democrático, passa sempre pela discussão em torno de novos modelos de democracia de proximidade nas suas dimensões representativa, participativa e/ou colaborativa. Os orçamentos participativos, os modelos de simplificação e modernização administrativa e os serviços de proximidade transformados em acesso online construíram uma narrativa de acesso permanente (à decisão e ao serviço) que, aparentemente, não está a contribuir para aumentar a participação das pessoas no processo eleitoral, designadamente para a Assembleia da República. Olhar para esta questão de forma especifica, obriga não só a um olhar para a recente história da democracia em Portugal, mas, fundamentalmente, obriga a promover uma discussão alargada sobre fundamentos, meios e processos de valorização da participação/implicação das pessoas no “desenho” do seu próprio destino. Neste aspeto as questões de proximidade ligadas a questões de pertença têm, do meu ponto de vista, o papel mais relevante na medida em que só assim se consegue associar de forma direta o voto ao representante. Claro que esta questão tem algumas variáveis associadas, mas, no presente trabalho, o território (circulo eleitoral) será a questão analisada. Não porque se entenda que pode resolver sozinho, mas porque é a base para que as outras variáveis possam ser analisadas. É neste sentido que propomos a criação interna de uma unidade de missão para a promoção da participação cidadã nos processos eleitorais democráticos e propomos, desde logo, a alteração à lei eleitoral no que aos círculos eleitorais diz respeito, com impacto, fundamentalmente, nas eleições para a Assembleia da República.

This year’s Meeting, entitled Catering for a New Generation of Travellers, seeks to explore holistic approaches to policy development and inspire renewed models for living and working across the food, arts, cultural and tourism sectors. IGCAT member-experts, European Region of Gastronomy Platform representatives and invited guests will discuss and debate trends, concerns and joint projects that IGCAT is currently undertaking or new ideas that together we could develop in the future. We have a world that is fortunately still rich with cultures, abundant with food variety and astounding in landscape diversity. However, we are at a critical point in time because we have lost already an alarming quantity of biodiversity; unique plant and animal varieties that have given us over the centuries, not only sustenance but cultural traditions, rituals, festivals, crafts, education and life knowledge. According to some scientists, we are already below safe levels for the safety of our own species.1 Worse still, what we have left in natural and built resources is badly managed.
