President António José Seguro has advocated for increased state investment and attention toward Portugal’s interior and border territories. During a visit to Vila Nova de Cerveira, Seguro emphasized the need for national cohesion, highlighting challenges such as aging populations, depopulation, and the geographic distance of these regions from central decision-making hubs. He Speaking at the 24th edition of the Bienal Internacional de Arte (BIAC), Seguro argued that a nation’s cohesion is measured by the vitality of its territories rather than its capitals. He praised the Bienal as a significant cultural institution that thrives outside of dominant urban circuits, serving as a vital link for art and community identity. Additionally, Seguro called for greater trust in local municipalities, noting their capacity to understand and address the specific needs of their citizens.
