Carla Malafaia, a researcher at CIIE/FPCEUP, spoke to the newspaper Público as part of an investigation into the attitude of young people towards politics: ‘The attitude of young people towards politics is much more one of curiosity and a desire to get involved than is often realised’. ‘However, they see the world of politics as a mostly adult world’, “distant”, “corrupted” and limited to “an elite of young people” who have few opportunities to participate.
