Summary
The philosopher Marcos Nobre, professor at Unicamp, cited examples such as Podemos, a movement that emerged in civil society and reached institutional politics in Spain, and En Marche, which elected French president Emmanuel Macron, to highlight the need for outside-in participation in politics. There are also examples, such as the British Labor Party and the United States Democratic Party, of formal institutions that have become more open due to popular participation and electoral preview mechanisms. For Nobre, it is necessary to “break through the shield”.
