    I agree! :D I don’t want to be overly negative, there were some lovely places in Lisbon. We stayed in Picoas, a beautiful area. A visit to Belem was also very nice, a lovely (but seemingly affluent) neighborhood. Well worth the trip - for anyone reading and feeling down on Lisbon after reading this thread :)

    I preferred Porto over Lisbon: more laid back, beautiful old city, friendly people, some of which I kinda missed in Lisbon.

    I don’t miss the staircase next to that Eiffel bridge though, that was brutal. 2 years on and my body still remembers the exhaustion.



  • The second theme is cultural democracy and inclusion. The emphasis is on permanently removing persistent barriers to participation, so that culture becomes accessible to everyone.

    Katrien Partyka, an MP for Christian democracts CD&V, criticised the composition of the commission.

    “It does not represent the broad cultural field,” she said. “There is for example no representation from the broad socio-cultural field, the amateur arts or the academic world.” She is calling for a review of the body’s composition.

    Nothing screams “cultural democracy” louder than hand‑picking your audience to prove how inclusive you are.
