C dans l'air du 16 juillet 2025 : Bayrou allume la mèche budgétaireDépenser moins et travailler plus. Le Premier ministre a dévoilé mardi son plan pour réaliser 43,8 milliards d'économies en 2026 et enrayer la hausse de la dette. Pour ce faire, François Bayrou propose de supprimer deux jours fériés, le lundi de Pâques et le 8 mai, une année blanche avec un grand gel sur les dépenses de l'État — prestations sociales, pensions de retraite — mais aussi sur le barème de l'impôt, la fin de l'abattement de 10 % pour les retraités, remplacé par un forfait de 2 000 euros, la suppression de 3 000 postes de fonctionnaires, l'augmentation de la franchise sur les médicaments à 100 euros par an et une moindre prise en charge des affections de longue durée (ALD)…Une potion amère qui suscite déjà de vives réactions de plusieurs figures politiques, syndicales et associatives. Si Emmanuel Macron estime que le budget présenté par François Bayrou a « la vertu du courage, de l'audace et de la lucidité », le Rassemblement national, La France insoumise, les écologistes et les socialistes demandent au Premier ministre de "revoir sa copie", sans quoi il sera censuré.Ce mercredi matin, la secrétaire générale de la CGT a, de son côté, appelé à la mobilisation à la rentrée et demandé aux parlementaires de "tout faire pour que ces mesures ne s'appliquent pas, parce qu'elles sont non seulement injustes, mais dangereuses pour le pays". Sophie Binet dénonce ce qu'elle appelle une "honte".Impôts, retraites, jours fériés, année blanche… Quelles sont les principales pistes détaillées par François Bayrou pour le budget 2026 ? Qui pourrait être le plus impacté ? Les retraités sont-ils en première ligne ? Menacé de censure, François Bayrou peut-il faire adopter son plan ? Enfin, le RN, rattrapé par de nouvelles affaires, est-il fragilisé ?LES EXPERTS : - Dominique SEUX - Directeur délégué de la rédaction - Les Echos- Nathalie SAINT-CRICQ - Editorialiste politique - France Télévisions - Lou FRITEL - Journaliste politique - Paris Match - Jérôme FOURQUET - Directeur du département Opinion - Institut de sondages IFOP, auteur de Metamorphoses francaises

Para que possamos entender ascensão, apogeu e queda do Império Norte AmericanoPrimeira parte da conversa...

Milton Teixeira fala sobre a inauguração do Theatro Municipal do Rio, em 14 de julho de 1909, marco da grandiosidade cultural da cidade. Um sonho que nasceu no Império, ganhou força na República e se tornou um dos maiores patrimônios artísticos do Brasil.

Na coluna desta semana, o professor Milton Teixeira destaca o Theatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro, que completa 116 anos no dia 14 de julho. Um símbolo da cultura brasileira, fruto de um sonho do Império que só se concretizou no início do século XX.

Dans ce 72e épisode de Impôts et Justice Sociale, le podcast du Tax Justice Network consacré aux enjeux de justice fiscale et sociale, nous explorons l'Indice d'opacité financière, mis à jour en 2025. Cet indice évalue dans quelle mesure les juridictions contribuent à l'opacité financière mondiale, privant ainsi les pays – notamment du Sud global – des ressources nécessaires au financement de leur développement. Il permet de comprendre quels pays facilitent l'évasion fiscale, le blanchiment d'argent et la dissimulation de patrimoine, au détriment de l'intérêt collectif. Nous abordons plus spécifiquement la question centrale de la transparence sur les bénéficiaires effectifs et la manière dont cet outil peut être utilisé pour soutenir le plaidoyer pour une coopération fiscale mondiale plus juste, alors que les négociations ont déjà sérieusement à l'ONU. Pour en parler, nous accueillons: Gonzalo Villanueva, analyste juridique au Tax Justice Network, spécialiste des politiques fiscales comparées. Sergio Chaparro-Hernandez, responsable des politiques publiques internationales et du plaidoyer mondial, particulièrement engagé dans les négociations en cours sur une convention fiscale au sein des Nations Unies.  Un épisode pour comprendre comment les règles internationales sont détournées, et pourquoi la transparence financière reste un enjeu central pour la justice mondiale. Pour les voix française, l'épise a obtenu la contribution essentielle de  Mario Cuenda Garcia, qui jusque là était chercheur associé chez Tax Justice Network, et Leonore (Leo) Schick, journaliste, productrice de contenus de plaidoyer et associée à la production des podcast de Tax Justice Network.   Notre site web avec tous nos podcasts: https://podcasts.taxjustice.net/fr/production/impots-et-justice-sociale/

Bahruz Samadov tem 30 anos, é pesquisador e pacifista – e foi injustamente condenado a 15 anos de prisão no Azerbaijão. Sua história, ignorada por líderes europeus, revela os silêncios convenientes da política internacional e mostra, mais uma vez, como o petróleo costuma pesar mais que a democracia. Thomás Zicman de Barros, analista político Hoje eu vou falar sobre o Azerbaijão. Sim, o Azerbaijão: um pequeno país que muitos sequer sabem apontar no mapa e que raramente recebe atenção no noticiário brasileiro. Para explicar o motivo, basta um nome e um sobrenome: Bahruz Samadov. Ele é um jovem pesquisador, de 30 anos, que acaba de ser injustamente condenado a 15 anos de prisão sob a acusação de alta traição. Sem dúvida, alguém pode se perguntar: “Mas o que isso tem a ver com a Europa?” – que, afinal, costuma ser o assunto dessa coluna. Esta crônica trata da Europa sob diversos aspectos. Primeiro porque, tecnicamente, o Azerbaijão faz parte da Europa. O país fica no Cáucaso, considerado a fronteira sudeste do continente. É banhado pelo Mar Cáspio, sua capital é a cidade de Baku e faz fronteira com a Geórgia, a Armênia – dois países também frequentemente incluídos no mapa político da Europa –, a Rússia, a Turquia e o Irã. É um país de maioria muçulmana xiita, mas com um governo, em princípio, laico. Além disso, o Azerbaijão é membro do Conselho da Europa, uma instituição que reúne quase todos os países do continente. E aqui podemos entrar no segundo ponto em que a Europa aparece nessa crônica: as relações entre líderes europeus e o governo azeri. Afinal, há países do continente que não integram o Conselho. A Rússia, por exemplo, foi expulsa após a invasão da Ucrânia. Belarus, por sua vez, jamais foi aceita. Em ambos os casos, o motivo é a cláusula democrática prevista pelo estatuto da organização, que, em princípio, só permite que lá estejam democracias. Então o Azerbaijão é uma democracia pujante? A realidade é mais complicada. País do ex-bloco soviético O Azerbaijão fez parte do Império Russo, depois integrou a União Soviética e, no início dos anos 1990, com o colapso do bloco socialista, se tornou um país independente. Seu primeiro presidente foi Heydar Aliyev, um homem forte da KGB nos tempos soviéticos, que depois passou o poder, em 2003, para o seu filho, Ilham Aliyev, que governa o país há 20 anos – e que inclusive colocou a própria esposa no cargo de vice-presidente. É verdade que o clã Aliyev tem apoio interno. O país cresceu muito nas últimas décadas, enchendo o bolso de alguns, apesar da desigualdade ter também aumentado. Isso dito, o apoio também é mantido pela perseguição a opositores e por um discurso nacionalista inflamado nos últimos três anos, quando o Azerbaijão iniciou uma controversa guerra com a Armênia pela região do Alto Carabaque. Trata-se de um território historicamente disputado – como tantos no antigo espaço soviético, onde fronteiras rígidas tentam separar povos que sempre viveram lado a lado –, e em 2023 o Azerbaijão forçou o êxodo da população armênia da região, num ato que muitos classificam como limpeza étnica. Mas, apesar de tudo isso, o Azerbaijão continua sendo tratado como um parceiro confiável. Por quê? Em grande parte porque Baku tem petróleo e gás. E petróleo e gás, como sabemos, podem em muitos momentos pesar mais do que compromissos com democracia e direitos humanos. Foi nesse contexto que Bahruz foi preso. Ele havia voltado ao Azerbaijão em agosto do ano passado para visitar sua avó, Zibeyde Osmanova, octogenária e única integrante viva da família. Era doutorando na Universidade Carlos, em Praga, e nunca se envolveu em qualquer ato de violência. Seu crime? Escrever colunas de opinião em inglês sobre política caucasiana e manter contato com outros ativistas pela paz – inclusive da Armênia. Isso foi o suficiente para ser acusado de traição e condenado a 15 anos de prisão. Na semana da condenação, ele tentou tirar a própria vida. Um colega de cela o salvou. Hoje, ele foi transferido para uma prisão numa região árida e isolada, em condições preocupantes. Bahruz se tornou um símbolo, um rosto para a repressão política no Azerbaijão. Mas está longe de ser um caso isolado: segundo organizações independentes, mais de 375 dissidentes estão atualmente presos no país, entre eles mais de 25 jornalistas, além de pesquisadores e ativistas forçados ao silêncio ou ao exílio. Silêncio A Europa, tão rápida em denunciar abusos quando a Rússia invadiu a Ucrânia, dessa vez ficou praticamente em silêncio. Quando o Azerbaijão inicia guerras e prende opositores, poucos reagem. Ao contrário: Ursula von der Leyen, presidente da Comissão Europeia, trata Aliyev como um grande parceiro. No ano passado, o Azerbaijão sediou a COP29 – uma conferência do clima presidida por um país cuja riqueza vem do petróleo. E quase ninguém se escandalizou. A hipocrisia, nesse caso, salta aos olhos. Na última semana, com novos atritos entre Baku e Moscou – Azerbaijão e Rússia mantêm relações voláteis, mas ainda estão longe de serem inimigos –, o presidente ucraniano Volodymyr Zelensky fez questão de ligar para Aliyev e manifestar seu apoio público ao líder azeri, dizendo que ambos defendem a dignidade humana. Enquanto isso, o sistema judiciário do Azerbaijão condenava um jovem pacifista a 15 anos de prisão. O caso de Bahruz e tantos outros expõem com clareza os dois pesos e duas medidas da diplomacia europeia. Quando um país não tem petróleo – ou não interessa geopoliticamente – a repressão escandaliza. Quando tem e é nosso aliado, fecham-se os olhos. É por isso que hoje decidi falar sobre o Azerbaijão e sua farsa judiciária que prendeu Bahruz Samadov.

The young man shares what he's been told of his rescue. When things looked bad in King's Landing, Varys paid a tanner for his baby and smuggled the real Aegon across the Narrow Sea to Ilyrio Mopatis. Tyrion gives the young prince a few useful lessons, in particular not to expect a warm welcome from Aunty Daenerys. And to perhaps go to Dorne and lay his claim to the Iron Throne for himself. Then when they do reunite, it will be as equals.Tyrion visits Selhorys with Haldon. They learn that the Red Priests are singing Dany's praises, that she is Azor Ahai reborn.

Saudações pessoas!Há algo de errado com o Império. Mais do que nunca. Algumas escaladas de padrões já bizarros e tristes se mostram como que sem teto para estancarem. A situação de desumanização (dentro e para além das fronteiras) se torna uma constante desavergonhada. Defesa tresloucada e -aterradoramente fora da casa- de standards a essa altura meio vazios (se é que alguma vez não foram) como soberania, 'pátria' e '1a emenda', entre outros, se transformam em um show de horrores poucas vezes visto. Como diria C. Gambino: "This is...." - Gabriel e Carapanã aumentam o fogo para cozinhar esse debate. É tanta loucura que Amauri Gonzo cai de paraquedas ali pelo meio da conversa!

GUIMEL TAMUZ - 3 razões para celebrarYehoshua parou o sol (1273 AEC)No dia 3 de Tamuz do ano 2488 da Criação (1273 AEC), Josué estava liderando o povo judeu em uma das batalhas para conquistar a Terra Santa. A vitória era iminente, mas a noite se aproximava. “Sol!”, comandou Yoshua, “permaneça em Giv'on; Lua! No Vale de Ayalon!” (Yoshua 10:12). Os astros obedeceram suas ordens, paralisando suas rotas no céu até que o exército de Israel concluísse a batalha com sucesso.Rabi Yossef Yitschac é libertado da prisão (1927)O Sexto Rebe, Rabi Yossef Yitschac Schneersohn (1880-1950) é preso em 15 de Sivan de 1927 por agentes da GPU, (polícia secreta soviética) e pela Yevsektzia ("seção judaica" do partido comunista) por seu trabalho de preservar e disseminar os ensinamentos e práticas judaicos por todo o Império Soviético. Mantido na temida prisão de Spalerno, Leningrado, era seguidamente interrogado e torturado. Inicialmente condenado à morte, uma pressão internacional levou o regime soviético a alterar a sentença para 10 anos de trabalhos forçados na Siberia, e depois, para três anos de exílio em Kostrama, uma cidade no interior da Rússia.No dia 3 de Tamuz, 18 dias após sua prisão, foi libertado sendo-lhe permitido permanecer por 6 horas em sua casa antes de ser levado à estação de trem de Leningrado onde embarcaria para seu exílio. Dia do Rebe Guimel Tamuz (3 de Tamuz) é uma data muito significativa no calendário chassídico, especialmente para os seguidores do Rebe de Lubavitch (Chabad). De acordo com a tradição judaica, o dia do passamento de um tzadik (justo) é considerado o momento de sua máxima elevação espiritual. Nesse dia, sua alma atinge novos níveis de luz, e ele pode interceder ainda mais por aqueles que se conectam a ele com fé e boas ações.CURTIU A AULA?FAÇA UM PIX RABINOELIPIX@GMAIL.COM E NOS AJUDE A DARMOS SEQUÊNCIA!#chassidut #mistica #judaismo #tanya #alterrebbe #chassidim #rebbe# #teshuva #almajudaica #gpsparaalma #Rebe #doacao #doação #caridade # #tzedaka #tsedaca #arrependimento #retorno #tzedakah #iguerethakodesh #benoni #beinoni #chabad #chassid #gpsalma #tsadic #tzadik #ohel #falecimento #hilula #guimeltamuz

Há 68 anos casados, Ditinha e Valter vivem um amor simples e bonito: “Amamos como se fosse ontem que nos conhecemos.”Tem gente que diz que amor de verdade resiste a tudo: ao tempo, às dificuldades, às perdas, às fases boas e às nem tão boas assim. Se isso é verdade, então o que Ditinha e Valter viveram e ainda vivem merece ser contado. Foi no Rio de Janeiro que tudo começou. Ditinha tinha ido ajudar uma tia a cuidar de um primo pequeno. Um dia, brincava de roda com outras meninas quando viu Valter passando. E ele... parou para olhar. As amigas logo começaram a rir e dizer que estavam namorando. Mas o que ficou mesmo foi a lembrança. Passou a semana pensando no tal moço que só tinha parado pra ver a brincadeira.E não é que ele voltou? Quando viu Valter de novo, Ditinha decidiu que seria diferente. Ele se desculpou, puxou conversa. Para ela, ele era um gato. E ali, entre conversas e olhares, veio o primeiro beijo, no portão de casa, com medo da tia ver. Não podia dar na vista. E foi tudo tão rápido quanto certo: seis meses depois, ficaram noivos.O casamento veio logo. Um ano depois, a primeira filha. Depois vieram mais três. Enquanto isso, a vida ia se ajeitando como dava. Moraram um tempo no Rio até que, com o desemprego de Valter, voltaram para Piquete, no interior de SP. Foi ali que Valter conseguiu um emprego numa fábrica de dinamite. Ele nunca teve medo, mas ela rezava e pedia proteção toda vez que ele saía pra trabalhar.A vida foi passando, os filhos crescendo e eles sempre juntos. Juntos em tudo: na escola de samba, nos bailes, nas rodas de amigos. Por 40 anos, foram foliões conhecidos no carnaval de Piquete. Ganharam até uma placa de prata e um samba enredo homenageando o amor dos dois pela escola de samba Império do Braz, de Piquete. Por onde passam, é assim: todo mundo conhece “o Valter da Ditinha” e a “Ditinha do Valter.”Hoje, depois de tanto tempo, falam da vida a dois com simplicidade e carinho. Nunca brigaram, nunca se ofenderam. Se algo está bem ou não, conversam. Nada de esconder. E se perguntam qual é o segredo para tanto tempo assim juntos, a resposta vem sem rodeios: amor. Amor é tudo. Sem amor você não vive. Amor de marido e mulher, amor nos filhos, amor na família, amor nos amigos. E convenhamos, de amor, esses dois entendem.

Nos 50 anos da independência de Cabo Verde, a RFI publica várias reportagens sobre o tema. Neste oitavo episódio, vamos até ao Museu - Campo de Concentraçao do Tarrafal, na ilha de Santiago, guiados pelos antigos presos políticos Gil Querido Varela e António Pedro da Rosa.  Nesta viagem a um passado não muito distante, Gil Querido Varela, 90 anos, e António Pedro da Rosa, 76 anos, levam-nos ao Campo de Concentração do Tarrafal, convertido em museu com dez salas de exposição. Os dois fazem parte dos 20 “nomes da liberdade” inscritos na sala dos presos cabo-verdianos, onde também estão expostas as suas fotografias. “Ao chegar recordamos o que tínhamos passado por aqui. E, às vezes, também procuramos esquecer o que passámos por aqui”, começa por dizer António Pedro da Rosa à chegada ao Campo de Concentração do Tarrafal. Gil Querido Varela completa: “O passado volta, lembro-me do primeiro dia em que aqui cheguei. Até hoje. Lembro-me também do dia 1 de Maio de 74, quando regressei e estavam saindo todos.” A viagem começa na Praia, com António Pedro da Rosa, e pelo caminho vamos buscar o seu amigo até chegarmos à aldeia de Chão Bom, no Tarrafal. Uma hora de carro a percorrer a ilha de Santiago, em Cabo Verde, para chegar ao local que ficou conhecido como “campo da morte lenta”, numa primeira fase, entre 1936 e 1954, quando 32 opositores políticos à ditadura ali morreram perante condições tenebrosas para os que ali foram desterrados de Portugal. Sobre essa altura, Gil Querido Varela cita um preso: “Aqui no campo não se vive, aguarda-se a morte. Lenta, mas certa.” Quando Gil e António aqui chegaram, o campo já tinha mudado de nome. O ditador português, António de Oliveira Salazar, tinha sido obrigado a desactivar a colónia penal por pressão da comunidade internacional, alertada pelos relatos do tratamento desumano dado aos presos e pelas condições do espaço. Com o início das lutas pela independência, o campo reabre, em 1962, para prender anticolonialistas de Angola, Guiné-Bissau e Cabo Verde. Passara a ser “Campo de Trabalho de Chão Bom”. Mas de bom pouco havia a não ser os laços que os presos ali criaram e a própria reinvenção da vida. Até 1974, ali estiveram presos 20 cabo-verdianos, 106 angolanos e 100 guineenses. Quatro morreram lá dentro. Gil Querido Varela, conhecido por "Kid Varela", interessou-se pela política desde pequeno, durante uma das grandes fomes de Cabo Verde, em 1947. “Quem viu aquela fome, não podia ficar indiferente”, conta. Em 1965, concorre a um lugar de professor, mas não consegue o emprego por ter uma classificação negativa da polícia política. Nesse ano, adere ao PAIGC num grupo coordenado por Felisberto Vieira Lopes. Junta-se, entretanto, ao grupo de Fernando Tavares, “Toco”, e foi detido depois dele, em 1968, e no mesmo dia que outros membros desse grupo, incluindo o seu parente José Maria Ferreira Querido. Primeiro foi interrogado e torturado na polícia, no Plateau, a seguir foi transferido para a Cadeia Civil da Praia e entrou no Tarrafal em Abril de 1970 com “Toco” e José Querido. Os três foram logo atirados para as celas disciplinares, na obscuridade, e o director da prisão, Eduardo Fontes, conhecido como “Dadinho”, disse-lhe que “escuridão era bom para a vista”. Gil Querido Varela e os seus companheiros eram acusados de “crime contra a segurança interior e exterior do Estado”, nomeadamente por suspeição de estarem a preparar um possível desembarque de elementos de Amílcar Cabral em Cabo Verde. Foram enviados para julgamento em São Vicente, em Outubro, sendo absolvidos por falta de provas e saindo em liberdade a 9 de Janeiro de 1971. Este foi o último julgamento de presos do Tarrafal. “Eles não tinham provas porque não trabalhávamos com papéis”, acrescenta, em referência aos tempos da luta clandestina. António Pedro da Rosa entrou no Tarrafal sem saber por quanto tempo ficaria preso. Ele e vários outros nacionalistas foram detidos no caso Pérola do Oceano, uma operação planeada pela polícia política portuguesa para prender militantes e responsáveis do PAIGC. Um indivíduo tinha fingido ser um elemento do PAIGC vindo da Guiné e convenceu vários militantes de Santa Catarina, em Santiago, que se iria desviar um barco para se juntarem à luta armada na Guiné. No dia da tomada do barco, a 20 de Agosto, António e vários membros do PAIGC são presos, levados para a cidade da Praia, interrogados e torturados. Durante sete meses estiveram às mãos da PIDE e dos seus interrogatórios nocturnos. António Pedro da Rosa foi para o Tarrafal em Fevereiro  de 1971 e de lá só saiu três anos depois, a 1 de Maio de 1974.  “Veio um senhor chamado José Reis Borges e ele convidou-nos para assaltar o Pérola do Oceano para irmos para o Senegal e, depois, íamos entrar nas fileiras do partido para uma luta da independência na Guiné. Foi assim que viemos parar aqui. Mas o José não era do PAIGC, ele simplesmente veio a mando do próprio Governo português para detectar as pessoas que trabalhavam na clandestinidade pela luta da independência”, lembra. Com a chegada dos presos ligados ao caso do "Pérola do Oceano", o primeiro grupo de cabo-verdianos que lá estava organiza-se para os apoiar nos estudos. As aulas funcionavam na sala comum onde estavam todos os cabo-verdianos. Só tinham direito a sair meia hora de manhã e meia hora à tarde. António Pedro da Rosa conheceu aí referências da luta anticolonial como Lineu Miranda, Luís Fonseca, Carlos Tavares e Jaime Schofield que se ocuparam das aulas. No Tarrafal estudava-se e a luta continuava. Os presos políticos cabo-verdianos aliciaram secretamente para a causa anti-colonialista dois guardas também cabo-verdianos através dos quais conseguiram fazer entrar familiares que lhes passavam informações, mas também um receptor de rádio portátil. Um desses guardas, sobrinho de Gil Querido Varela, ensinou-os até a manejar armas. As escondidas, claro está. “Ele é que nos deu a arma. Ele tirou a munição e entregou-nos a pistola aqui dentro da célula e disse: ‘Quem sabe manejar, ensina os que não sabem.' Assim é que quem não sabia manejar a pistola aprendeu nesta circunstância. Ele trazia consigo um cão que o ajudava se visse o director”, conta António. Gil Querido Varela pensa que foi esse guarda que teria levado o aparelho de rádio para a prisão, o que ajudava a estar a par dos avanços da luta armada na Guiné. Os dois amigos continuam a visita guiada à prisão, como guardiões de um tempo que não querem que seja silenciado. Vamos aos diferentes espaços e vemos a “Holandinha”, uma cela de castigo, minúscula, praticamente sem luz, sem espaço para deitar, em que António tem de baixar a cabeça para estar de pé lá dentro. Esta era a herdeira da ‘frigideira' ou ‘frigorifico', a cela que na primeira fase do campo estava cruelmente exposta ao sol no verão e ao frio no inverno.  A “Holandinha” estava construída dentro da arrecadação anexa à cozinha e era uma estrutura de betão dentro de uma sala. “Era só água para beber, uma lata para defecar e fazia tudo aqui, porta fechada. Davam pão e água uma semana ou conforme o castigo. Se fossem três dias, era três dias a pão e água. Recebia uma lata de cinco litros de água, punham aqui”, acrescenta António, sublinhando que nem ele nem o seu camarada tiveram a “holandinha” como castigo. Porém, por se ter recusado a comer pão azedo, uma vez,  ficou sem poder ter visitas, recorda. Outra das violências mais difíceis era a fome e a subalimentação. O 25 de Abril só chegou ao Tarrafal a 1 de Maio de 1974, quando uma multidão foi ao campo exigir a libertação de todos os presos políticos.  La fora, estava Gil Querido Varela, e lá dentro, António Pedro da Rosa. Os portões abriram-se e os presos foram recebidos em delírio e muitos seguiram em cortejo e festa até à cidade da Praia, a uns 70 quilómetros do Tarrafal, na ponta sul da ilha. “Foi um dia muito feliz”, recorda Gil Varela, enquanto António Pedro da Rosa recorda “a grande emoção” que sentiu. Porém, em Dezembro de 1974, as portas voltaram a fechar-se. No interior ficavam 70 cidadãos cabo-verdianos, adversários do PAIGC e afectos na sua maioria à UDC e à UPICV, formações que não teriam lugar no regime de partido único. Na altura, ainda eram as autoridades portuguesas quem mandava, justificam personalidades do PAIGC. Libertados a pouco e pouco, os últimos presos foram abrangidos por uma amnistia decretada aquando da independência. O campo viria a ser extinto "para sempre" em 19 de Julho de 1975, por uma das primeiras leis de Cabo Verde. No futuro, o Museu do Campo de Concentração do Tarrafal quer ser Património da Humanidade da UNESCO como memória de um dos “cárceres do Império” que tentou condenar ao esquecimento as vozes e as vidas dos resistentes ao colonial-fascismo. A candidatura está a ser trabalhada por Cabo Verde, Portugal, Angola e Guiné-Bissau. No total, entre 1936 e 1974, aqui estiveram encarcerados, na sua maioria sem julgamento, um total de 588 homens, de acordo com o livro “Tarrafal - Campo de Concentração - Presos Políticos e Sociais” de Alfredo Caldeira e João Esteves.   Se quiser aprofundar este assunto, pode ouvir aqui a entrevista integral aos nossos dois convidados.

Nos 50 anos da independência de Cabo Verde, a RFI publica uma série de reportagens sobre este tema. Neste primeiro episódio, abordamos as raízes da revolta com algumas das pessoas que lutaram pela libertação nacional, como Pedro Pires, Osvaldo Lopes da Silva, Alcides Évora, Maria Ilídia Évora e Marline Barbosa Almeida, mas também com o historiador António Correia e Silva e o jornalista José Vicente Lopes. Foram mais de cinco séculos de dominação colonial, uma história marcada pelo comércio de pessoas escravizadas, ciclos de fome, secas e emigração forçada. A independência foi a 5 de Julho de 1975, mas a resistência começou muito antes, ainda que tenha sido a Geração Cabral a desencadear a luta de libertação e a conduzir Cabo Verde à independência. No século XIX, a elite letrada já manifestava uma atitude contestatária face ao poder colonial. Intelectuais como Eugénio Tavares, Pedro Cardoso, Luís Loff e, mais tarde, os chamados “claridosos” denunciaram os problemas que afectavam a população e exaltaram a singularidade e a identidade do povo cabo-verdiano.  Na década de 1940, uma nova geração de intelectuais, inspirados pelos antecessores, passam a reivindicar o direito à independência. O historiador e sociólogo António Correia e Silva sublinha que a Geração Cabral é fruto de lutas anteriores, que o fantasma das fomes foi determinante para desencadear o movimento de libertação e que, nessa altura, a ideia de “independência se torna politicamente credível”. “Gabriel Mariano vai escrever um grande poema sobre a fome que se chama 'Capitão Ambrósio': 'Bandeira negra, negra bandeira da fome…'. Eu costumo dizer aos meus alunos que bandeira, negra e fome é um triângulo virado para o futuro e que a bandeira negra da fome era, na verdade, uma fome de bandeira, uma fome de independência”, descreve António Correia e Silva. “Essa geração de Amílcar Cabral, o grande salto é que, através de uma aliança pan-africana, aproveitando uma conjuntura pós-guerra, a criação das Nações Unidas e a ideia de autodeterminação que surge naquela altura, a ocorrência de algumas independências de países afro-asiáticos, países grandes como a Indonésia, a Índia, o Egipto, etc, tudo isto provoca a passagem, a violação do interdito, a passagem do intransponível limite que era a independência. Isto é, a independência torna-se pensável, mas mais, torna-se politicamente credível”, acrescenta o historiador. As grandes crises de fome em Cabo Verde entre 1941 e 1942 e entre 1947 e 1948 foram de uma violência brutal, com milhares de mortos. Em 1939, a população estava avaliada em 174 mil pessoas e caiu, em 1950, para 139 mil. Os sobreviventes emigravam em massa para as plantações de São Tomé e Príncipe, onde viviam, trabalhavam e muitos morriam em condições semelhantes às da escravatura. Outros conseguiam emigrar clandestinamente para espaços que não o do Império português.  Na memória colectiva há um episódio trágico que não se esquece. Foi a 20 de Fevereiro de 1949, na cidade da Praia e ficou conhecido como o Desastre da Assistência. Centenas de pessoas, que aguardavam pela distribuição de refeições quentes, morreram quando caiu o muro do edifício dos Serviços de Assistência. Estima-se que mais de três mil pessoas se reuniam diariamente nesse espaço para receber a única refeição do dia. Dados oficiais apontavam para 232 vítimas, mas teme-se que o número tenha sido muito superior. Muitas vítimas foram enterradas em valas comuns no Cemitério da Várzea, embrulhadas em lençóis, por falta de caixões. Alcides Évora era uma criança nessa altura, mas lembra-se de ter visto as valas comuns. “Eu comecei a ter uma certa revolta interna desde o início da década de 40. Na altura, eu tinha sete ou oito anos e presenciei a fome de 47. Ainda lembro quando houve o desastre da assistência em que foram transportados, feridos e mortos do local para o Hospital da Praia. Havia tantos mortos. Inclusive muitas casas ficaram fechadas porque não houve nenhum sobrevivente da família que pudesse abrir a porta das suas residências. Da mesma forma, assisti ao enterro na Várzea, na vala comum, em que punham um grupo de cadáveres, depois deitavam o cal e depois punham outra camada de mortos e assim sucessivamente. É algo que ficou gravado na memória. Isto também me fez despertar uma certa revolta interna contra o sistema colonial português”, recorda. Gil Querido Varela também testemunhou a fome de 1947 e viu crianças a morrerem. Por isso, a revolta foi inevitável e quando surgiu a oportunidade aderiu à luta clandestina nas fileiras do PAIGC em Cabo Verde. “Quem já tinha visto a fome de 47 - que eu vi - não ficava sem fazer nada. Vi crianças a morrerem de fome, corpos inflamados de fome. Vi mães com crianças mortas nas costas, não as tiravam para poderem achar esmola. Os colonialistas troçavam do povo, da fome do pobre. Quando veio o PAIGC, entrei rápido. Quem viu aquela fome, era impossível para não lutar. Só quem não tem sentimento”, lembra Gil Querido Varela, que nos leva, num outro episódio ao Campo de Concentração do Tarrafal. A fome também ensombra as memórias de Marline Barbosa Almeida. Foi a partir daí que ela decidiu juntar-se à luta, também na clandestidade. Quis ver a sua terra “livre e independente”. “Nós, que nascemos nos anos 40, 50, vimos aquele período de fome, em que morreram muitas pessoas e o culminar foi o Desastre da Assistência, que matou dezenas, para não dizer centenas de pessoas. Daí cresceu em nós uma certa revolta que não estava classificada politicamente, mas era uma revolta contra a situação de Cabo Verde. Mais tarde, eu, como lia muito - eu devorava livros – fui-me apercebendo das desigualdades, da opressão, do que era necessário para que saíssemos do jugo do colonialismo”, conta Marline Barbosa Almeida, em sua casa, na Praia. No livro “Cabo Verde - Um Corpo que se Recusa a Morrer - 70 anos de fome - 1949-2019”, o jornalista José Vicente Lopes fala sobre o Desastre da Assistência, considerando que a luta de libertação do PAIGC teve como um dos motores a fome que assolava desde sempre o arquipélago. “Este livro fala de um acontecimento que houve em Cabo Verde, que foi o Desastre de Assistência de 1949, e cobre a história de Cabo Verde de 1949 a 2019, numa perspectiva da questão alimentar em Cabo Verde, a história das fomes, o impacto que isto foi tendo nos cabo-verdianos até desembocar inclusive na criação do PAIGC. O PAIGC foi uma reacção à calamidade famélica que foi sucedendo em Cabo Verde desde o século XVI ao século XX porque até 1949, quando se dá o Desastre de Assistência, qualquer seca que acontecesse em Cabo Verde matava no mínimo 10.000, 20.000 pessoas”, sublinha o jornalista, acrescentando que “o espectro da fome não desapareceu porque, apesar de todos os investimentos feitos, apesar de tudo o que se conseguiu fazer, mesmo um bom ano agrícola, um bom ano de chuvas em Cabo Verde, Cabo Verde não consegue produzir mais de 20% das suas necessidades alimentares, logo, 80% tem que ser importado”. As violências coloniais eram de toda a ordem. Maria Ilídia Évora tinha cinco anos quando viu o pai a ser espancado por brancos. A imagem nunca mais a deixou, assim como o medo incontrolável sempre que via alguém de pele branca. Mais tarde, ela viria a integrar um grupo de cabo-verdianos que foi treinado em Cuba para desencadear a guerrilha em Cabo Verde e viria ainda a trabalhar em hospitais durante a guerra na Guiné.  “Uma pessoa a bater em alguém que não fez nada, a bater daquela maneira como baterem no meu pai, uma criança não entende. Eu não entendi. Nunca entendi. Até conhecer o Amílcar, para mim, o branco era o diabo. Eu considerava o branco uma coisa muito ruim. Bater em alguém que não fez nada, que só estava lá porque quis conviver com um patrício amigo, não tinha sentido. Porque para a gente, amizade é amizade. Ele não foi fazer nada, ele não tinha nada nas mãos, nem nos pés, nem em nenhum lugar, e acharam que era um inimigo a ser abatido. Essa coisa nunca me saiu da cabeça”, conta-nos na sua casa, no Mindelo. Todas estas circunstâncias alimentaram a coragem dos que acreditaram na luta. Muitos deles, depois de terem passado no Liceu Gil Eanes, em São Vicente, depois na Casa dos Estudantes do Império, em Portugal, acabariam por "dar o salto". Em 1961, dezenas de angolanos, mas também moçambicanos e cabo-verdianos nacionalistas fogem clandestinamente de Portugal e protagonizam uma fuga massiva histórica para França nas barbas do salazarismo. Vários acabaram por ser figuras de destaque nas lutas de libertação nacional e, mais tarde, ocuparam também postos de relevo nos novos Estados. Pedro Pires foi um dos que escolheu seguir Amílcar Cabral, o líder da luta de libertação da Guiné e Cabo Verde. Era o momento de deixar tudo para trás e arriscar por uma causa. “Chegou um momento em que era preciso alguém correr riscos. Não quer dizer que todos iam correr riscos, mas tinha chegado o momento em que aqueles que achassem que podiam correr riscos ou aqueles que achassem que estivessem no dever de correr riscos, no dever da solidariedade e no dever de serviço em favor do seu país, do seu povo, decidiu correr o risco. Mas o risco é inerente a qualquer decisão e aí nós optamos ou ficar parados e não fazer nada ou então agir e correr riscos. Eu acho que tem sempre resultados, com maiores ou menores dificuldades. O facto de corrermos risco, podemos mudar muita coisa. Foi o que aconteceu connosco. Nós éramos um grupo que saiu na mesma altura ou no mesmo dia, éramos cerca de 60 jovens que decidiram correr o risco”, resume o antigo comandante. Osvaldo Lopes da Silva, comandante de artilharia mobilizado na Guiné, também correu o risco e esteve nessa fuga. Ele recorda esse pontapé de saída para a luta de libertação. “Atravessámos a fronteira de autocarro. Foram vários grupos, cada um foi à sua maneira. Depois, estivemos concentrados nas cercanias de San Sebastian. Quando íamos atravessar a fronteira, o elemento na fronteira que devia facilitar a nossa saída, tinha desaparecido. De forma que fomos presos. Estivemos dois dias na prisão central de San Sebastian e, às tantas, de repente, aparece o director da prisão com um discurso todo terceiro-mundista que 'o povo, o governo da Espanha estiveram sempre ao lado daqueles que lutam pela liberdade, pela independência, etc, etc'. Para nós, foi uma grande surpresa e fomos postos em liberdade. E a verdade é que, pelos documentos que reuniram, viram que essa gente não são maltrapilhos quaisquer, são gente com qualificação”, lembra. Muitos dos que estiveram nessa fuga, tinham frequentado e cultivado a reafricanização dos espíritos num dos principais berços da contestação ao colonial fascismo português: a Casa dos Estudantes do Império. Foi criada em 1944, em Lisboa, pelo próprio regime ditatorial para apoiar os jovens “ultramarinos” que fossem estudar para a “metrópole”, e encerrada em 1965. Duas décadas em que foi uma escola de consciencialização política do nacionalismo africano, fosse na sede lisboeta ou nas delegações de Coimbra e no Porto, ajudando à criação dos movimentos de libertação das colónias portuguesas em África. Outro centro de pensamento anticolonial foi o Centro de Estudos Africanos, em cujo grupo fundador esteve o futuro pai das independências da Guiné-Bissau e de Cabo Verde. Amílcar Cabral foi também vice-presidente da Casa dos Estudantes do Império em 1951. A sua segunda esposa, Ana Maria Cabral, também por lá passou e recorda a importância do local para a contestação. “Fui levada pelos meus irmãos mais velhos e não havia só bailes, havia encontros, havia reuniões sobre a situação dos nossos países, em especial quando os franceses e os ingleses começaram a dar a independência às suas antigas colónias. Seguimos todo o processo dessas independências. Nós todos éramos Lumumba e Nkrumah. Nós seguíamos a luta dos outros povos, dos povos das colónias e não só das colónias em África”, explica Ana Maria Cabral. Muitos dos que passaram pela Casa dos Estudantes do Império vieram a assumir importantes responsabilidades na luta anticolonial e de libertação dos antigos territórios em África, como Amílcar Cabral, Vasco Cabral, Agostinho Neto, Mário Pinto de Andrade, Eduardo Mondlane, Marcelino dos Santos, Joaquim Chissano e Miguel Trovoada. Pedro Pires também conheceu de perto a Casa dos Estudantes do Império. Aquele que foi comandante e destacado dirigente político-militar do PAIGC na luta de libertação, assim como o principal arquitecto do Acordo de Lisboa para a independência, resume que a luta contra a opressão colonial foi desencadeada pelo próprio colonialismo. “É o próprio sistema colonial, que não dava resposta às necessidades e às dificuldades, enfim, às crises por que passava a Cabo Verde, mas também que não se interessava especialmente em encontrar soluções para esses problemas. O percurso histórico de Cabo Verde é trágico, em certa medida, porque os cabo-verdianos tiveram que enfrentar situações extremamente complicadas e difíceis de fome, secas, fugas, ter que buscar por outras vias as soluções e o próprio sistema que não dava resposta às necessidades e às exigências, para não dizer também aos sonhos daqueles que queriam ver o país numa via diferente. Portanto, o colonialismo era um sistema de bloqueio e era indispensável lutar contra ele, a fim de abrir novas perspectivas ao país para realizar os seus objectivos, os seus sonhos, mas também por uma coisa muito simples: para ter uma vida melhor”, considera Pedro Pires. Foi para buscar essa “vida melhor” que estes homens e mulheres abrem o caminho para a luta de libertação, da qual vamos recordar alguns momentos nos próximos episódios.   Pode ouvir aqui as entrevistas integrais feitas aos diferentes convidados.

Chuck E. Cheese's Melissa McLeanas joins hosts Damian Fowler and Ilyse Liffreing on The Current Podcast to discuss how Chuck E. Cheese is leveraging its iconic IP for the streaming era, what advertisers are excited about and more. Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian FowlerIlyse Liffreing (00:01):And I'm Ilyse Liffreing,Damian Fowler (00:02):And welcome to this edition of The Current Podcast.Ilyse Liffreing (00:09):This week we're thrilled to be joined by Melissa McLeanas, Vice President of Global Media Licensing and Entertainment at Chuck E. Cheese.Damian Fowler (00:18):For people who grew up in the us, Chuck E. Cheese means childhood birthday parties. It's long been a go-to destination for pizza games and the giant mouse that knows every kid's name.Ilyse Liffreing (00:29):In short, it's a pop culture icon with over 500 worldwide venues. But under Melissa's leadership, the brand is leveling up by launching the CEC Media Network in partnership with programmatic platform future. Today,Damian Fowler (00:42):It's a big move that signals a shift from just a physical play space to a full on entertainment platform, think digital storytelling in store screens, branded content and advertising that actually fits into the family experience.Ilyse Liffreing (00:57):We're going to jump in and talk about why in venue media might just be the next big driver of customer loyalty and growth.Damian Fowler (01:07):Chuck E. Cheese is such a nostalgic brand, especially in the United States, but here you are launching a full media network, which is a kind of big new chapter for you. Can you walk us through the vision and the strategy behind the CEC Media network and what is bringing it to life?Melissa McLeanas (01:26):Absolutely. First of all, thank you so much for having me. It is an incredibly exciting time at CEC Entertainment. Then Chuck Cheese, I would say it's a bold new chapter for the company and the Media network is really just a piece of that. The brand has been going through an incredible transformation over the last few years, and really at the heart of that is the vision to establish this brand as a global leader in entertainment. Now, I say that, but it's really reestablished the brand in entertainment. Chuck E. Cheese was born in entertainment. I don't know if you know, but the E in Chuck E. Cheese stands for entertainment. And really when you think back to where we started, we were a leader and really established the category of EAT entertainment. And as that space has evolved and family entertainment centers have really taken that center stage, we've continued to be a leader and an innovator in that space.(02:14):But a few years ago, I would say we probably hit a wall and it was a little bit tired. The bones were good as they would say, but it was really time for a reset and bringing a new leadership team to the forefront with a new background and experience in entertainment. We established several different strategic objectives, one of them being the division that I lead, and that's media licensing and entertainment. So really very simply put, the mission is to really drive incremental value and revenue for the company in a new way. So all US locations, we've invested over 350 million back into the business, a capital investment, and I'm happy to say that right now at this point we've completed the US all US locations, so just under 500, no small feat, and we're about to finish our own Canada locations as well. And what this looks like is cosmetically update to the interior and the exterior, a revamp of menu, all new games, and that entertainment package now features a large video wall. And then of course our character program.Damian Fowler (03:16):That's a lot right there. It's almost like you've had a complete perception shift in terms of what you're doing. It sounds like you are a channel in and of your own right and media channel. You mentioned out of home, but there's also CTV on all those points. This is a kind of multistream content strategy. And could you just talk a little bit more about how that will ultimately reach all of these consumers and how it'll deepen engagement, I guess, for families who go to all these different venues in the US and around the world?Melissa McLeanas (03:50):So yeah, that's a great point. So I guess let me step back and actually talk about what that content looks like. Within our fund centers, we have entertainment programming, let's call it a 90 minute loop, and it consists primarily of entertainment, content, family friendly entertainment content. Of all these initiatives, obviously the first and foremost most important thing for us is to make sure that we're delivering an amazing experience for our guests. And so that content must do that. It has to be relevant for our families, it has to be engaging, and it really has to convey everything that our brand stands for. So that's a mix of our own original content. So I talked about that, the library. And so we continue to create new content and then we pull from our library of content. So we really look for things that are a little young, but it has to be appealing to an older guest.(04:37):At the same time, there can be aspirational content, so maybe some of our 10 year olds and 12 year olds are there with younger siblings, and then you got your parents. So there's a lot of opportunity there. The other thing that digital screens in this update to programming does is it allows us to do regular seasonal updates. And I think that's also really important, especially as we're growing programs like our membership program, our past program, we've got some repeat visitation, we're consistently updating and keeping that fresh throughout the year. Now as part of that, there's a lot of partner opportunities. And so for our entertainment partners, like I said, you can get the latest clips from your newest release for some of the newer content creators. We've got an active captive audience sitting right there paying attention to those screens, and we've created an environment where they're tuning into those screens. And so bringing our characters, since we do all of that content ourselves and working with other content creators to create some co-branded content, there's a lot of different ways for partners to really be a part of that entertainment experience.Ilyse Liffreing (05:38):Now I know it's early days too, but perhaps you can talk about some of those partnerships that you have going on with needy buyers and national advertisers and then how important the media network is to Chuck E. Cheese's broader business evolution.Melissa McLeanas (05:54):Absolutely. I'll actually take that moment to do a quick and talk more specifically on the advertising opportunity. I think a lot of what we're doing with the content and the characters is incredibly exciting, but it's also a really exciting time in the digital out of home and out of home space. So if you look at other venue operators and retailers, they're debuting these owned media networks. And so we've really took a page out of their book and we said, Hey, we've got this updated experience, we have this traffic. How do we really bring this to partners in a big way? And so on the, I would say the tech solutions side, we've had some really strong relationships with Panasonic so that we've got media players in advertising solutions that are going to support the various types of advertisers locally, regionally, nationally. And then we most recently have a relationship with Vista Media, so we were able to integrate their supply side platform directly into that CMS.(06:44):So that gives us access to a wide array of advertisers, and they're coming straight through programmatic, so turnkey solution for those who are buying programmatic space. So we're seeing a lot of advertisers come through there. And then we've got some more strategic relationships in the entertainment space. Kids BOP is one of those. They've been a partner for many, many years. And in addition to some of the entertainment content, they've really leveraged these screens to advertise tours to localize and talk specifically to upcoming tours at a specific venue ahead of that. We've worked with the Harlem Globetrotters to do the same, and then we have a various CPG toy, again, family appropriate, parent appropriate that are really taking advantage of those screens. And then of course we're talking out of home, but I don't want to forget too that we also announced a partnership with Future Today.(07:33):And so in addition to having this opportunity around content in our venues, we also have this content online. So we've had a lot of this on YouTube and YouTube kids. We actually started putting our content there in 2012 and have been doing so in a more meaningful way in the past few years. And with this new relationship with Future Today, a leader in the CTV space, not only are we getting content on their Happy Kids channel and their network alongside the co melons and the Paw trolls, but in the future we're working towards launching our own streaming network. So Chuck E. Cheese branded Fast Channel, so ad supported, but again, leaning into the content and the IP and engaging those guests and those fans and then offering that opportunity to brand safe and family friendly advertisers.Ilyse Liffreing (08:17):I know Chuck E. Cheese has traditionally been mostly about the physical experience before all of this. I remember going there as a kid, my dad brought us there all the time growing up, and obviously that part of the business is not dying down at all. I'm curious how many screens you have at each of the 500 plus venues that will be part of this network.Melissa McLeanas (08:41):So every location has a video wall, and that's going to be the focal point of when you walk into Chuck E. Cheese and it's incredibly important. You really can see that almost anywhere in most locations. Every one of our locations is unique, they're like children. They vary in size and layout, but really that video wall is huge. And then screens and the number of screens is going to depend on that layout and how big the location is. So it can be anywhere from six to 15 to 18 in some of our larger locations. So it's done strategically to make sure that there's visibility no matter where you are. And then audio isn't tied to those screens, so audio is just piped uniformly throughout the entire locations.Ilyse Liffreing (09:21):Besides those giant screens, are there any other ways you guys are blending that physical presence within the new digital touchpoints that you're bringing?Melissa McLeanas (09:30):So like I said, the character program is, I mean the epitome of the live physical experience. And so we really try to find a balance between how we take the digital parts of our brand and our entertainment and balance that with the interactive and the physical. So when the character, when Chucky comes out, whether it be for a birthday or for a dance, there's also supporting content on the screen that really help families follow along, be able to follow and interact with their parents and their friends and all of that. So we want to make sure it's on an interactive dance floor. So there's a lot of different ways to bring that to life. We also just recently launched a STEAM program, and so that is rooted in the media that you see on those screens, but then as part of that curriculum, those kids go off into the game rooms and they're playing with the games and they're doing all the different tasks that they've learned.(10:21):We did that in partnership with stem.org and then just digitally throughout the locations, our menu boards are all digital now. We've done some tremendous and deep upgrades in terms of innovation and technology, so no more tickets, which some people get sad about because that visual of having that bucket of tickets feels so iconic. But etickets are far more efficient for families that are trying to get through the price counter and out the door. So we've got Etic, we've got Play Pass, no more tokens, the menu boards, the games. We're really leaning into digital. It makes us more efficient when we need to make changes. We think about testing menu items in certain local and regional rollouts that's all supported digitally. It's far easier to make those updates on the backside than it is to roll out new point of sale and printed materials. And so we're looking for those digital opportunities throughoutIlyse Liffreing (11:11):Life. Things are certainly changing.Damian Fowler (11:12):They really are. Let's talk a little bit about some of the takeaways from all of these innovations. Now, let's say you're a family, you've been exposed to the video wall and the games room and you go home. How is this exposure being measured across the network, if you like?Melissa McLeanas (11:28):Yes, feedback is everything. We actually have a really active fan base and we do have guests who are reaching out to give us feedback. We have an in-house insights team and we have regular surveys, and then they're asking questions across every element of Chuck E. Cheese because we want to make sure that we're understanding as we update and introduce new exactly what's working, what's not and what can be better and happy to, the screens in the entertainment continues to have a really positive score. A very high guest are seeing it, they're tuning in and they love the entertainment. And so we'll continue to watch that. And when it comes to the advertising campaigns, from a measurement perspective, we're working with companies like Place their AI and an IMP purview to measure the impressions through our door as well as impressions against our screens, both being well-recognized auditors, if you will, in that space.(12:20):We don't sell tickets, so that's important to make sure that when we do these campaigns we can accurately say this is how many folks we're actually exposed to those screens. And then as we continue to work with our partners, and then I think this is something you'll see, especially in the digital out of home space, it's constantly evolving. And so for us it's really important to work with partners on their campaigns and understand those KPIs because we are a unique platform and the guests are engaging with these screens maybe differently than they might and screens out in a different venue. And so we want to make sure that the content that we're delivering, one, again, great guest experience and it's appropriate for our families, but two, it's achieving what our partners are looking to do with these campaigns.Ilyse Liffreing (13:04):So you've spoken about how Chuck E. Cheese as a brand spans generations. How do you ensure that the content and messaging then stay relevant to today's kids while still honoring the brand's legacy from the past?Melissa McLeanas (13:18):It's an amazing gift to have a brand and a character that has touched almost five decades, and that comes with great responsibility first and foremost, at the heart of what we are still, where a kid can be a kid. So as we continue to innovate and evolve for these families, we never lose sight of that. We are a kid first space. So while our content could be developed with co-viewing in mind and there's some Easter eggs that maybe parents will understand, but it's just fun silly songs for kids, we want to make sure that kids still own their space. Chuck E. Cheese is a place for kids. Our parents obviously need to enjoy their space too. And so in addition to how that content comes to life within our fund centers, we take a lot of opportunity to find extensions outside our four walls that pay homage to the rich legacy that this brand has.(14:11):So licensing is an important part of the strategic objective of growing this brand and increasing its value and entertainment. And so we've really grown our license program over the past five years. We've got just over 35 licensees and we've been able to really segment our brand across these decades and offer a classic Chuckie for those who know the OG seventies, eighties, Chuckie with the bowler hat. And we've got our retro Chuckie who's skater and he's the nineties, two thousands, and we offer that up to teen and young adult audiences in various spaces that make sense. We've done a few other things like we've saved our animatronics and in a few different locations, we started that in Northridge, California, wildly successful, lots of feedback there. And so we were able to extend that to four additional stores. And so those animatronics are going to live in those locations.(15:02):They're still fully remodeled, they're still on the media network, they still have all the new, but for fans that want to pilgrimage to see the original band in that format, those are available and we continue to look for opportunities like that. We've announced Chuck Arcade, it's an arcade space that's really geared towards Martine and adult, and there's some really fun touch points. Again, paying ho much to the legacy. And so we want to make sure that, again, our brand is a brand and we're going to take care of those kids and those families, but there's a lot of opportunity to really extend that and talk to the other generations of fans.Ilyse Liffreing (15:36):I certainly appreciate that. I remember Skater, Chuckie, myself, ninetiesMelissa McLeanas (15:41):Chucky, everybody has their Chuckie.Ilyse Liffreing (15:42):Oh yeah. I know it's early days still, but how has the feedback been so far from the brands that you guys are starting to approach about the network? Is there excitement, interest?Melissa McLeanas (15:56):I think a takeaway that is for brands and partners and even a lot of our guests is because just as you said, everyone has their Chuck E. Cheese and this is a brand that has such incredible awareness and strong attachment to a very specific memory and time of when you had your Chuck E. Cheese experience. As we're going through this remodel and introducing the median network, it's a bit of a surprise when they actually go in and they're like, oh my goodness, this is not the Chuck E. Cheese that I used to know. And we hear it from guests and it's why we really lean into reopening events when we remodel a location and then really make a splash in the local community. And I'm hearing that a lot from partners. It's incredibly positive once they see how their brand is coming to life on these screens and we're hosting lunch and learns with agencies, you have to see it to get it because that memory is so strong in so many people and we're doing things so differently. And so it's been really positive and it's been exciting, but it definitely is. It's a space where you've really got to lean in and say, oh, wait a second. You're right. This is incredible.Damian Fowler (17:06):We seem to be in a sort of almost, you mentioned the ip, but we seem to be in a bit of a golden age as it were, of brand storytelling and more and more brands leaning into sort of that owned media channel to tell their stories. How do you see this whole media network fitting into that general trendMelissa McLeanas (17:23):From a brand storytelling perspective? It's funny. We always make this differentiation. Our characters are part of our experience. We never look at them to tell the experience. And so as we debut all of these new channels for our content and open up to a larger audience, we have the opportunity to really dive into these characters, their personalities and invest in telling their story and in a deeper way. And so we've got so much content, but there's so many new formats that we are excited about long form formats, animation, publishing, and so much of that can be supported and come to life on these channels. But when we think about a storytelling opportunity from a character perspective, there's a great path forward to really get these beloved characters out there and to continue to build their world, their ecosystem, and not just in content. How do we take them outside the four walls? How do we create more experiences? We've taken the band out on tour, how do we do that in a bigger way? And I think these channels and this content is the beginning of a much bigger journey for the characters.Damian Fowler (18:31):Yeah, I imagine. Is there a movie in the works?Melissa McLeanas (18:36):No comment. No. In all serious, that's where we're going. That's where we're thinking for these characters. And so while nothing has been announced, I think we've been fairly vocal in the fact that that is what we would like to do and how we are making decisions on content and bringing on partners.Ilyse Liffreing (18:55):It's amazing. Looking even further ahead, if the movie doesn't happen, if the movie does happenMelissa McLeanas (19:03):When the movie happens,Ilyse Liffreing (19:03):When it happens,Melissa McLeanas (19:04):Exactly when the movieIlyse Liffreing (19:06):Happens, I like it. It happens. What else do you see in terms of innovation, whether it's maybe gamified content, augmented reality, personalized experiences, is there anything else that you guys are hoping in the near future to evolve the Chuck E T's experience?Melissa McLeanas (19:26):Gaming is in our DNA. And so I mean we are the largest arcade operator in the world. We buy thousands and thousands of games. We've got 2 billion game plays a year. And so we're always looking and talking to different companies about how we can continue to innovate in that space. And so that's always on our radar. You've seen a change in even some of the games that have come through our doors, things like ar, you need to make sure that it's safe for our young kids, but we're always having those conversations and now that we've got more media driven experiences, there is opportunity to take that to the screens. And with the dance floor personalization, if you think about birthday and how important that is to our brand, personalization is something that we're always looking to do in a bigger way. So from tiering and offering different options to our parents who are booking parties, to giving something personal just to remind or say happy birthday to the kids and how we can do that with our characters and at scale is something that is starting to get more exciting as this technology evolves.Ilyse Liffreing (20:34):Amazing. Let's go into some of rapid fire questions now, some quick fun ones for you. So the first one here is actually about your background. You've held roles across licensing, entertainment and media. What would be one lesson from building these brand partnerships that served you especially well?Melissa McLeanas (20:55):Partnerships can be incredibly powerful and they can serve so many purposes. And I think right now in the industry, you're hearing the word collaboration a lot. And it's refreshing because I also think that if you look back a few decades, it was very rigid of this is the partnership, I need X, you get X, this is how we do it or we don't do it. And I think the openness and the receptiveness across all industries, entertainment, licensing, media of building something that is going to benefit both parties in a bigger way has really changed how a lot of these partnerships have come to life. And for us, and in this journey that we've been in, they've really been a huge benefit to us. And one telling our story, aligning with some of these best in class entertainment brands and putting Chuck E. Cheese in a conversation that frankly people weren't expecting. And as you said, I have been very fortunate to have worked with some amazing partners across my career and bring some of these different programs to life and building them around Chuck E. Cheese has been really fun.Damian Fowler (22:02):What other family or entertainment brand is doing something truly innovative in the media space that inspires you?Melissa McLeanas (22:10):So I'm a theme park nerd, admittedly because of my background, and this almost feels like a cop out, but it has been really exciting to watch Universal grow as a behemoth in this space and even their marketing and from a grassroots perspective of how they've been able to engage their fan base. It's just fun and it's exciting to watch someone in that space grow as they have. But all that said, what I think is even cooler in location-based entertainment is these snackable moments that are kind of emerging outside of these giant theme parks. I think in the beginning it was always like that can only happen if you're paying a high ticket price to go to a Universal or Disney. And now so many of the IP holders and the brands are bringing these really cool experiences to life outside of that, whether it be a mobile tour or a retail experience or maze that's themed for the season. And I think that's really elevating the space and it's giving a lot of us opportunity to activate in these ways that doesn't require a giant theme park build around it. And so I think that the location based entertainment and experiential space in general has been growing and being more creative over the past few years.Ilyse Liffreing (23:22):Do you have a favorite moment from launching the CEC Media network?Melissa McLeanas (23:27):I think something that I could really call out is the feedback from our operators. So when you work for a company that is really the life force is your field and your cast members and your operators on the ground. We've got some cast members and some managers that have been with us for over 30 years and they know this brand and they've been delivering this amazing experience and change is hard. So when this started testing in markets and we got not only good feedback, but outwardly positive feedback and managers were approaching me like, you know what you could do? I'm like, this is fantastic because not only are we updating the entertainment experience, we're delivering on all these new objectives, but we're bringing value to the team that's operating and they see this great opportunity to talk to their guests and to be more efficient. And so that was very satisfying and it made it all the better because they really are the ones that are doing the work on the ground and making sure that this brand is coming to the life in the best of ways.Damian Fowler (24:27):On that point, was there a personal moment that stands out that you've witnessed where the brand genuinely sort of moved you or surprised you in how it was being received?Melissa McLeanas (24:38):So yes, I mentioned this summer concert series, and I'll give you a little bit of context. So during the pandemic, we had to close a lot of locations and as we started to open them, we made the decision to keep Chucky outside the fun centers to our families. That message was that he was recording an album and we didn't realize that he was going to have to record a box set in the end, but when we did get to a place where we were getting comfortable to bring him back to our guests and it wasn't everywhere, we were trying to think of how best to do that. And again, this is still early for me and in my role at Chuck E. Cheese. And so we decided to, for the first time ever, create a fully choreographed scripted show, 30 minute show with our characters, took 'em out on the road, all free concerts, open air outside public parks so all guests could attend no matter where we were in the world in terms of what those restrictions looked like.(25:33):And it was just an amazing team building event. So it's all new music, upbeat, fun, I still have it on my playlist, but we have our birthday song as part of this concert and we do it under the guise of Does anyone have a birthday this year? Which is of course everyone. And if you're familiar with the Chuck E. Cheese birthday song, it's not just Happy Birthday, it's very specific to Chuck E. Cheese. And as it started, every single guest was up and singing along to the lyrics and dancing the food truck vendors, the parents, everybody knew this song. And from a moment that was needed, it was incredible. But from a brand perspective, that's really powerful and that's really something special. And so that really stood out in my mind of like, wow, this is something, we really got something. So that would definitely be it. And if you don't know the birthday song,Ilyse Liffreing (26:25):I do know we can practice it after do birthday song.Damian Fowler (26:28):We should play this podcast out with a birthday song soon.Ilyse Liffreing (26:30):Yes, we should.Damian Fowler (26:32):Well, first off, Melissa was so enthusiastic about this new brand, this new entertainment network that the company's launching. I almost couldn't keep up with the amount of innovation the brand is putting out.Ilyse Liffreing (26:45):So much, so much has happen isDamian Fowler (26:45):Incredible. But I feel like there were a couple of bits there where she almost gave us some news. She talked about Chuck E. Cheese streaming platform potentially on the horizon, and then we sort of joked about this, but Chuck E. Cheese movie. But in an era where IP is everything and we're thinking of Barbie, why not?Ilyse Liffreing (27:05):Yeah, no, there's so much value in it for other advertisers too, when they're building this media network across their 500 plus venues in the US and internationally, that's a lot of screens and advertisers want to be with kids and with their parents especially.Damian Fowler (27:24):Another thought that was interesting to me was the way she talked with the way Melissa talked about the digital out of home and Chuckie, she's venues being almost an extension of that channel that is on the up and up really, and especially when it comes to programmatic media. So that was also something that I found intriguing.Ilyse Liffreing (27:44):It's also nice to know that they're doing a good job of blending their physical footprint with the digital and keeping everything we like about Chuck E. Cheese still alive in some way. Even those who remember the brand from the seventies, eighties, nineties, check that mouse is still there.Damian Fowler (28:05):Yeah, well, I can't say I grew up with it, but I know you did. So it's reassuring that that nostalgia is still alive.Ilyse Liffreing (28:11):And maybe for my birthday next year, are you going to invite me? Yes, Damian, you're invited. Thanks. And that'sDamian Fowler (28:18):It for this edition of the current podcast.Ilyse Liffreing (28:21):This series is produced by Molton Hart. The current podcasts theme is by Love and caliber. The current team includes Kat Vesce and Sydney Cairns.Damian Fowler (28:29):And remember,Melissa McLeanas (28:30):Our characters are part of our experience. We never look at them to tell the experience. I'm Damian and I'm my, we'llIlyse Liffreing (28:38):See you.
