No dia 10 de outubro 2026, Barack Obama esteve em Lisboa como orador principal do Game Changers Forum, realizado na MEO Arena, diante de mais de 10 mil pessoas. Na sua intervenção, Obama abordou temas como democracia, liderança política, inteligência artificial e os riscos do autoritarismo. Obama destacou que a democracia é uma conquista recente e frágil na história da humanidade, defendendo que todos os cidadãos devem ter direitos iguais, dignidade e capacidade de influenciar a sociedade. Ele fez críticas indiretas ao então presidente americano, Donald Trump, ao questionar a nostalgia por uma suposta "América real", associando-a a um passado em que minorias raciais eram silenciadas e as mulheres tinham papéis restritos. Sobre inteligência artificial, Obama alertou que essa tecnologia transformará a sociedade em cerca de dez anos, defendendo a necessidade de regras internacionais de segurança e coordenação, especialmente entre Estados Unidos e China, apesar da desconfiança entre as potências. O ex-presidente pediu mais humanidade e menos nacionalismo, defendendo líderes que valorizem tanto os interesses nacionais quanto os sonhos de pessoas de outros países, promovendo uma ideia de "humanidade comum" em vez de confronto. Obama também ressaltou a importância de dar mais espaço aos jovens na política, defendendo a renovação das lideranças. Com bom humor, afirmou que são necessários mais líderes jovens porque os mais velhos não sabem usar os telemóveis. Ele criticou a burocracia e a lentidão das instituições democráticas, inclusive na Europa, alertando que, quando os governos não resolvem problemas concretos como habitação e emprego, discursos autoritários podem se tornar mais atraentes. Uma das frases mais significativas de sua intervenção foi: "Tecnicamente, um presidente não pode começar uma guerra sem aprovação do parlamento." Essa declaração foi interpretada como uma crítica indireta à atuação do então presidente dos EUA, especialmente no contexto dos ataques americanos contra o Irão. Sobre a Europa, Obama reconheceu os benefícios da União Europeia, mas advertiu que a burocracia e a demora nas decisões podem afastar os cidadãos das instituições. Defendeu governos mais ágeis e capazes de responder às preocupações cotidianas. Em síntese, Obama defendeu uma democracia mais eficaz, liderança renovada e cooperação internacional baseada em valores comuns. Ele reforçou que a democracia exige instituições que funcionem, cidadãos ouvidos e líderes que respeitem a igualdade, indo além do simples ato de votar.
