Francisco Guerreiro is one of the active members in Portuguese political party PAN’s (Pessoas-Animais-Natureza) national political commission. He, among others in PAN, defend Basic Income as a crucial transitional social policy to a better society, where basic needs are assured for all citizens. PAN is presently preparing the upcoming national elections, and will continue to support a Basic Income implementation, as it did in the past European Elections.
In order to deepen PAN’s knowledge about Basic Income, collect data and widen their supporters network, Francisco has visited Lisbon’s Basic Income activist group, at a meeting which took place at professor António Dores office, at ISCTE (Instituto Universitário de Lisboa). In this informal meeting, a mild but productive discussion took place, at the end of which Francisco Guerreiro recorded a short video. Agreeing on the essential (aspects of Basic Income), these activists acknowledge that the greatest challenge at the moment is how to communicate the Basic Income concept and potential implications to a wider audience.
