He had three books published: "And the rest is landscape" (2002, chronicles, essays and interviews), "The Labyrinth" (2006 – on Lebanon) and "Periplus" (2009 – dedicated to the Mediterranean).

In 1994 he created Politics XXI, which grouped members of the Platform of the Left, the MDP and independents from the demonstrations against tuition fees in higher education.

Politics XXI was a launching platform for the Left Bloc (founded in 1999 with people from PSR, UDP and independents).

For the Left Bloc he was head of the list for European Parliament elections in 1999, obtaining 1.74% of the votes, and candidate for City Council in Lisbon in 2001.

There he was a member of the Budget Committee and vice chairman of the Special Commission on Financial, Economic and Social matters.
