Here's a rewritten version of the article:
Visit the Clube dos Pensadores this Thursday, 8th, at 21h30, at Hotel Holiday Inn Porto-Gaia, where Admiral Henrique Gouveia e Melo will discuss geopolitics. This topic, according to the biologist Joaquim Jorge, has been neglected in the debates for the upcoming legislative elections.
Portugal's historical vulnerability and dependence on European and global events have set the stage for intensifying discussions on the influence of Trump's policies on Europe, Portugal, and the world. International politics, new geopolitical, and geo-economic balances will be the theme of this conversation, as stated by the Clube dos Pensadores.
It's worth noting that, in recent public appearances, Gouveia e Melo has mainly emphasized the ongoing political crisis over the topic of the Presidency and has yet to officially announce his candidacy. Despite this, various polls have pointed to him as the preferred candidate among the Portuguese populace.
Notable political figures like the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, the President of the European Council, António Costa, and the Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, have already taken part in the Clube dos Pensadores discussions.
