Marcello Duarte Mathias explores history and governance in new essays

Essayist and diplomat Marcello Duarte Mathias has released new works, including ‘Intervalo – Diário 2024-2025’ and ‘A Memória dos Outros III – Ensaios e Crónicas’. His writing explores the complex relationship between history, knowledge, and the passage of time.

In his reflections on public affairs, Mathias emphasizes the necessity of prioritizing objectives and governing with a sense of historical continuity. He warns that history can be tragic, particularly for countries that lack historical awareness or are mentally unprepared for upcoming challenges.

The discussion also touches upon the biography of Fernando Pessoa and the importance of identity, drawing connections between influential generations and the need for moral regeneration within the country.
