Abel Lucas is one of the best-known figures in the municipality of Chamusca, mainly due to his profession as a carpenter and, later, his connection as the administrator of a funeral agency. One activity never impeded the other and it can be said that Abel Lucas is a man of two trades, which is very rare to find these days when work is no longer as it used to be. Abel Lucas is a local but he doesn’t stop criticizing what’s wrong in his land if asked for his opinion. That’s why he criticizes the politicians’ lack of vision, the government’s inability to have a pollution-free Tagus River, a health center that serves the population. THE MIRANTE gives you the last page of Honor on the eve of Ascension Week, the biggest festival in the town of the municipality of Chamusca.
Paulo Vicente is an electrician and manages a company of which he is the main worker. The journalist who writes this text is a witness to this because Paulo Vicente is the electrician at home who is almost always on the other end of the phone to respond to emergencies. Paulo Vicente’s job is in extinction, like Abel Lucas’s, but only apparently. Robots will never be able to replace the hands of a good mercenary, much less the skills of an electrician. Paulo Vicente combines his professional activity with his musical activity as a concert pianist and leader of the Chamusca and Ribatejo Dance and Song Group, one of those that still resists the lack of cultural and recreational associations in that municipality. Due to his activity as a cultural agent, MIRANTE dedicates the last page of Honor to him and hopes to see him performing with his group in the local festivals that pay homage to the Ascension.
