🚨🚨🚨 Huge breaking news from Brussels: Hungary has lifted its two-year-long veto on Ukraine's EU accession.

Ukraine and Moldova will soon be able to open the first cluster of the accession process.

The saga is over.

For many of you that don’t read in Portuguese but are kind enough to ask what “Pensar o Futuro” is about, here is a very brief description.

“Pensar o Futuro: Portugal e o mundo em prospetiva estratégica”, is a short introduction to 'strategic #foresight' as a tool to…

[Ricardo Borges de Castro 🇺🇦🇬🇱🟧 @ricbdc]

…support better policy- and decision-making in the public and private sectors, followed by a sort of travel guide around the world showcasing where and how foresight has been used and with what results. Starting in Belgium🇧🇪, the journey takes readers to France🇫🇷…

[Ricardo Borges de Castro 🇺🇦🇬🇱🟧 @ricbdc]

…the UK🇬🇧, Finland🇫🇮, South Africa🇿🇦, China🇨🇳, Singapore🇸🇬, the US🇺🇸 and Portugal🇵🇹, looking into governments, international organisations (e.g., #EU, #OECD, or #NATO), as well as companies, foundations and think tanks.

[Ricardo Borges de Castro 🇺🇦🇬🇱🟧 @ricbdc]

It is also an account of my own journey in #StrategicForesight.

In the meantime, I will continue working on the English version!

@realDonaldTrump has done more harm to US foreign policy & global standing than any modern president. The real issue is that he doesn’t care about that. In his imaginary reality, supported by his MAGA base, he is winning, and winning BIGLY. This period will cost the 🌍+🇺🇸 dearly.
