Óscar Afonso
Óscar Afonso is the director of the Faculty of Economics at the University of Porto (FEP) and a prominent researcher focusing on political participation, particularly among immigrant communities in Portugal. His recent study highlights the low political engagement of immigrants, emphasizing that despite significant potential for integration and political representation, only a small fraction of foreign residents are registered to vote. Afonso advocates for increased political recruitment of immigrants by political parties to enhance democracy and reduce the influence of populism in the political landscape.
