Pedro Passos Coelho is missing and more believers in Paulo Portas than in Luís Marques Mendes. Hoping that the intervention in politics will change the country, but aware that emigration is a great possibility in the lives of those who are finishing higher education and starting the labor market. So are the young liberals who this weekend listened and talked about politics at IL’s first youth event, Just X’IL.
It was almost dinner time on a Friday and, little by little, the first liberals began to arrive at the Cineteatro da Nazaré, where the pioneering youth event of IL was held. The opening was in charge of João Cotrim Figueiredo, who brought hope for the country, for the party and for each one of the faces that he had in front of him: those young people”heroes” would be the reflection of those who exchanged the opportunity to emigrate to fight for a better Portugal.
The theory was there and apparently it was correct, because in the lexicon of the different young people heard by the Observer during the two days, the word “expect”. But not enough. The theme of emigration and the lack of opportunities at home returned to one of the event’s panels and the question, and subsequent answer, baffled even the party’s president.
