Dear
Sirs / Madam
In the 21st century, cruel bloody wars in the Arab and African world have
triggered a wave of refugees directed primarily to Europe, and to other parts
of the world, too. Poor outcasts remain without a roof overnight and are forced
to leave their homeland, their cosy homes. They set off on a long and thorny
path into foreign countries with more or less merciful hosts.
Only regret from the comfort of the couch under a safe roof, in front of
the television screen, and wishful prayers for those poor people do not
represent any sincere sympathy, therefore, the refugee crisis should be solved
by undertaking concrete actions. The United Nations Organization in New York is
called to establish a solidarity bank called 'Refugee' in the Palace
of Nations into which the sponsorship money should be channeled from all member
states. Every citizen of the world is obliged by his conscience of humanity and
financial capacity to donate a certain sum of money for the reconstruction of
bestially destroyed towns and villages. After the reconstruction the
unfortunate refugees, scattered all around the planet, could return to their
homeland and having gone through that torturing calvary start to live in
normal conditions. After moral and ethical reflection all billionaires,
millionaires, middle class people and, finally, those with lower incomes should
join this humanitarian campaign, the latter ones at least with a symbolic sum
of money. Face to face with those listed donors there should primarily be all
egoistic war profiteers, weapons manufacturers and their buyers, soulless
militant conquerors who bestially destroy numerous towns and villages, kill
innocent natives and cruelly expel still alive powerless people. There
are also artists like painters, sculptors, photographers, graphic artists and
others who could also donate their works of art for a good cause. Since the
majority of them are not wealthy, their ideas and spiritual expressions are
rich. Various auction houses all around the world could sell their donated
works of art and the income thus obtained would be transferred to the
'Refugee Bank'.With this committed and quickly carried out
sponsorship action, with a humanitarian note and without veto in the Palace of
Nations, we would at least slightly heal the moral and ethical wound caused by
our contemporary civilization, including the population from San Francisco to
Tokyo and from Cape Town to Reykjavik.This action should be coordinated under
the slogan:Greedy wars of conquest should be ended and the whole world
population should help the displaced martyrs.
Sincerely Yours

Libro "Gracias por ENSEÑAR - (Prácticas para educar con humor)" de Pepe Pelayo
Livro “Gracias por Enseñar –(Prácticas
para educar com humor)” de Pepe Pelayo
O
meu querido amigo Pepe Pelayo teve a amabilidade de me enviar o seu livro “Gracias
por Enseñar”. Acabei de o ler e o que posso dizer é – “Gracias por me enseñar”.
É
um livro simples mas profundo que deveria ser de leitura obrigatória a todos os
pedagogos, já para não dizer obrigatório a todos os educadores – pais e
professores. Se é um livro de “Prácticas para educar com humor” caba por ser
também um guia de vida, um orientador para um quotidiano em harmonia e alegria,
uma vivência saudável numa via onde a democracia se torna real com esta
educação. É pois recomendável e importante ler e tentar por em práctica as experiencias
e sapiência de Pepe Pelayo

Mário Soares em Caricatura - 20 Anos de Democracia satírica – Mário Soares visto por Caricaturistas (Exposição no Palácio Presidencial de Belém Julho 1995 comissariada por Osvaldo Macedo de Sousa)
(Texto do Presidente
Mário Soares como introdução do catálogo da exposição)
A democracia é o regime no qual
ninguém está acima da crítica. Muitas vezes, melhor do que longos discursos,
argumentações cuidadas e raciocínios sofisticados, é com meia-dúzia de traços e
uma frase curta, certeira, acerada, inteligente que se desafiam poderes,
denunciam situações, de injustiça ou de ridículos, e se diz que “o rei vai nu”.
As ditaduras têm, por isso, grande
medo e aversão ao humor. Salazar ostracizou os caricaturistas, alguns de génio,
que se refugiaram no quotidiano e nos costumes, sendo-lhe em absoluto interdito
a caricatura política. Quem não se lembra da extinção do “Sempre Fixe” e dos
constrangimentos sofridos por Francisco Valença ou por Stuart? Quando Marcelo
Caetano tentou, sem êxito, “liberalizar” o peso da ditadura permitiu o
aparecimento de duas, três inocentes caricaturas dele próprio, o que constituiu
uma grande novidade. Foi sol de pouca dura.
Ao contrário, os regimes de
liberdade sabem que a sátira é um dos meios de reforço e aperfeiçoamento das instituições
e dos homens. Já diziam os antigos: “Rident castigat mores”.
A caricatura
política foi um dos meios de luta contra a ditadura e, por isso, sempre reprimida,
de diversas maneiras, pela censura. Com razão, aliás, do ponto de vista dos
ditadores, porque a caricatura é uma arma terrível!
