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.

Karina Michelin stated that images from an assembly at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) in Curitiba showed speeches against Flávio Bolsonaro and in defense of Lula's reelection. She said that organizations had announced more than 40 acts at universities across the country and criticized statements that, according to her, advocated for the radicalization of activism and referenced the kidnapping of an ambassador during the dictatorship. Michelin recalled that American ambassador Charles Burke Elbrick was kidnapped in 1969 by members of the ALN and MR-8, and not by the National Union of Students (UNE). She also classified predictions about a potential victory of Flávio Bolsonaro as false and alarmist, stating that the remarks about loss of rights and threats to democracy did not present concrete measures to support them. She mentioned that she did not question the right of students to protest or support candidates but criticized speeches that, in her view, replaced arguments with slogans and romanticized armed struggle. Michelin advocated for universities to shape professionals, researchers, and free citizens and stated that glorifying guerrilla practices and treating opponents as enemies denied democracy. #Educação #Democracia #Política (translated)
