Grande Sócrates
The Summit ended, as do most meetings of this sort, with smiling photocalls.
The Portuguese Prime Minister, Jose Socrates, gave an extraordinary closing speech which spoke about bridges being built, steps forward being taken, and visions being pursued.
He went off on such an oratorical flight, in fact, that I became mesmerised by the beauty of the Portuguese language and the elegance of his delivery.
I was so bewitched that I didn't register any concrete points in the speech at all.
Perhaps there weren't any. But it certainly sounded good [via Portugal dos Pequeninos, via Hole Horror, via BBC].

Durante todos estes dias, os que antecederam a Cimeira UE/África e aqueles em que ela decorreu, este blogger absteve-se de qualquer comentário. Não que lhe faltasse vontade comentante e matéria a comentar. Faltava, porém, o registo certo. Ora aí está ele, o registo certo, nas palavras de um jornalista da BBC NEWS. E de um momento para o outro toda a saloiice que nos governa iluminou-se. Parece que não houve frase feita, lugar-comum e chavão do politiquês que o nosso sofista não utilizasse. Quando se é de plástico (cf. VPV), não é possível ter na cabeça nada para além de pensamentos de plástico, frases de plástico, verborreia infinitamente plastificada.
