Earlier documents and corrections
These documents show how our ideas have developed. They also contain outdated statements and errors. The current website pages have been revised; the original files below are unchanged.
Syntrociety is a network. A federation is intended, but preparations have not started. References to a federation in formation, a Council, membership or shared governance do not describe an existing structure.
Heal the System · June 2026
The original English analysis requires at least these corrections:
- Minimum wage (page 3). The PDF gives €910 for 2026. The statutory minimum wage in mainland Portugal is €920 per month from 1 January 2026. See the minimum wage decree.
- Migration and education (page 4). The PDF claims that 2.3 million graduates have emigrated. The cited migration figures do not support that educational category. We withdraw this claim.
- Solar energy (page 7). The solar electricity system that was purchased was never installed or connected. The description of an operational shared energy supply is incorrect. The current situation is explained in the Carry the Work campaign.
- Syntrociety’s status. Syntrociety is a network. A federation is intended, but preparations have not started. Descriptions of federation bodies and membership are proposals, not an existing structure.
These corrections do not verify the PDF’s other figures, ecological effects or claims about cooperation. Sulitânia’s experience is a starting point for research, not an independent impact evaluation. Read the revised essay for the current text.

SYFERS proposal
This earlier project proposal describes intended activities and outcomes. The current status of funding, partnerships and implementation requires further dated confirmation. ‘Final’ in the filename does not mean the proposal was approved.
Presentations and policy essays
The seven presentations describe earlier ambitions for researchers, project organisers, municipalities, funders and others. Claims about forming a federation, formal participation, established procedures and results already achieved must be checked against the current website pages. The original files remain unchanged.
