• Me and President Vít Jedlička

Me, a humble portuguese citizen, was about to have today a one-to-one meeting with President Vít Jedlička…

Let's explain things further. his highness President Vít Jedlička is the self-proclaimed sovereign of a recent small independent country or a micro-state, the so called Free Republic of Liberland. Of which I wrote once a post on another one of my blogs.

The meeting was to be held on a so called 2056 Club House, in Sintra. Well, not exactly in the Sintra municipality but rather in the Cascais municipality. It looked like a fancy modern architecture house in the middle of nowhere but quite close the Estoril Circuit*. According to my basic knowledge of the area and the location shared on the invitation made by email message.

To be honest, I was there this morning, just checking the place first. But I aborted the mission. Since this house aspect and location seemed to me like one of those traps where one could leave without one kidney, if you know what I mean.

No one showing up at the gate, not a single cat on the road. It looked like I was in a ghost town, abandoned years ago...

Besides, this was just a so called side event. With no scheduled hour to begin or end told.

I was there just to just to tell the President I would be honoured to serve at his brand new local Lisbon embassy as a volunteer. 

Yeah, I know, I’m so naïve…
