RESUM26 is opening now.

For the first time, Europeans from across the continent are truly coming together.

No petty national rivalries. No old divisions.
Just one shared purpose. One powerful idea. One movement for the future of Europe.

There is something historic in this room today.

Coffee break at RESUM26.

Coffee cups on every table. Small groups in every corner. People switching between English, French, German, Dutch and Portuguese.

Contacts are exchanged. Plans are made.

The real work is not only happening on stage.

Another break between speeches.

People leaning over tables, exchanging ideas, laughing, making plans and taking photos together.

What is happening here today feels less like a conference and more like the beginning of a real European network.

Afonso Gonçalves has just closed RESUM26.

The event is over, but the energy inside and outside the hall is still everywhere.

People are still standing together in groups, talking, exchanging contacts and continuing conversations that will probably last deep into the night.

Today, something historic happened in Portugal.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this day possible.

Now the real work begins. Remigration will become reality.
