Iniciativa Liberal
A political philosophy that endorses a market economy and the expansion of civil and political rights, while also believing that the legitimate role of the government includes addressing economic and social issues such as poverty, health care, and education.
CONSERVATISM
LIBERALISM
SOCIALISM
This intellectual genealogy represents a deliberate tension between the realist acknowledgment of power dynamics and the liberal aspiration for individual freedom. While spanning the spectrum from Social Democracy to Conservatism, and from Ancient Greece to Modern Atlanticism, these thinkers share a fundamental commitment to the open society, the rule of law, and the belief that institutions matter more than the will of any single leader.

Liberal Democracy
Constructive DialogueIlliberalism
Fundamental OppositionThe Big Tent of Liberalism
Democratic, pluralistic dialogue can only be achieved within the liberal centre that spans from social democracy to conservatism: the "big tent of liberalism", which is under threat from increasing global illiberal forces.
"Foreign policy is not a game of chance, but a test of strategic foresight."
Strategy and leadership are the twin pillars of effective foreign policy. Like the Ruy Lopez—one of the oldest and most analyzed openings—statecraft requires deep preparation, the control of the center, and the flexibility to adapt to an opponent's counterplay without losing sight of the endgame.
Drawing from the Thucydidean tradition, we recognize that the immutable dynamics of fear, honor, and interest continue to drive state behavior. In an anarchic international system, abstract idealism is insufficient. Policy-making must be grounded in a rigorous study of history and area studies—understanding the cultural and historical imperatives of our rivals is the only path to a sustainable strategy that defends liberal values against revisionist pressure.
Neoclassical Realism
Foreign policy is driven by the international system's anarchic structure but filtered through domestic political imperatives and leadership perception. State power capabilities determine the scope of ambition, but internal cohesion dictates the efficiency of execution.
Federalist Union
The EU must evolve from a confederation into a sovereign Federation. Key pillars: A unified Defense Force, a true Energy Union, and direct democratic accountability for the Commission. Sovereignty is shared to be strengthened, not lost.
Total commitment to Ukrainian victory. Russia is a revisionist power threatening European security.
Strategic ambiguity is obsolete. Defense of Taiwan is defense of the liberal democratic order.
Pragmatic support for a Two-State solution. Condemnation of Hamas terror; opposition to illegal settlements.
NATO remains the cornerstone of defense. 2% GDP target is a floor, not a ceiling.
Economic and cultural leveraging of the CPLP, moving beyond post-colonial guilt to pragmatic partnership.
Urgent reform of the Security Council required. Advocacy for expanded permanent membership and veto restriction.
Foreign Policy

- Reinforce liberal alliances (NATO, EU).
- Pivot away from ineffective multilateral bodies.

European Union
Path to Federalism
Greater integration is essential. Prioritise surpassing the impediment of national vetoes in policy-making and enforce strict separation of powers in member states.
- Path towards a greater role for the European Parliament.
- Create a cohesive federal foreign policy.
- Removal of unanimity requirements.
Economy & Taxation
Prioritise fiscal responsibility and ensure a better use of tax funding for public services.
Corporate Tax: Ensure European companies face a common taxation policy that promotes innovation and retains high-level talent within Europe.
Social Rights
Full defence of minority rights, treated with the same dignity offered by the human condition. Refusal of any form of discrimination.
- Defend the right to equal marriage.
- Guarantee gender self-determination.
- Safeguards against salary discrimination.
Civic Engagement
Promote more participative moments in public policy making.
Open the path to greater digital participation in the political sphere to bridge the gap between citizens and institutions.
Defence & Security

Promote greater public awareness of military issues and volunteering by increasing pay conditions for troops.
Education

- Embrace digitalization of teaching methods.
- Support innovative educational initiatives.
State Reform
Zero-based budgeting for all state departments.
Meritocratic evaluation for civil servants to replace seniority-based progression.
Political thought is a journey of consolidation. While my commitment to social causes has been a constant throughout the years, the means to achieve them have evolved. Over time, I discovered that the most effective vehicle for progress lies not in the state, but in the empowerment of the individual—firmly placing my political home within Liberalism.
