Key details about the move include:

• Leadership Structure: The movement has Alexandre Sousa as President and Rita Matias as Vice-President. The team also includes Duarte Branquinho (School of Elites) and Alexandre Franco de Sá (Study Center).
• Objectives and Areas: It presents itself as an independent structure with a focus on the areas of politics, education, culture and civic participation, aiming to think about the country in the long term and defend national identity and history.
• Official Launch: The official presentation event is scheduled for October 6, in Telheiras, under the motto with Pessoan inspiration: "Portugal is still to be fulfilled", and will feature Professor Jaime Nogueira Pinto as a guest speaker.
• Political Context: The emergence of the movement at the end of August generated speculation about a possible departure or rupture between Rita Matias and the leadership of André Ventura in CHEGA. However, the deputy issued public clarifications guaranteeing that she is not in rupture with the party and that it is an initiative of civic participation in her own name in civil society
