As many of our readers know, and as we have previously put forth in various news stories from the Azorean Press, the Autonomous Region of the Azores will have an early parliamentary election on Sunday, February 4th. Through NOVIDADES (the islands and the diaspora), we will start a feature, Navigating the Political Tides: Election Updates from the Azores. With the collaboration of the Diário Insular newspaper from Terceira Island, we will feature a synopsis of their excellent political coverage, with the intent to bring awareness to the diaspora of all that is happening in the Azores and how the various political forces look at the future of the archipelago. This project is put forth by Bruma Publications, with the Azorean Diaspora Fourm from PBBI-Fresno State in partnership with Diário Insular, José Lourenço-director, and Armando Mendes, PhD, editor-in-chief.

For those interested, look at this overview of the elections in the Azores that PBBI-Fresno State did in early January of this year (January 10th), and it is now archived on our PBBI-Fresno State YouTube Channel.
