Movimento Internacional Lusófono
The Movimento Internacional Lusófono, or MIL, is a civic and cultural with the objective to promote the lusophony and the strength of the ties between the countries of CPLP.
Origin
The inspiration to MIL comes from the words of the portuguese philosopher Agostinho da Silva, a luso-brasilien that in 1974 proposed the reorganization of Portugal and the the lusophone world.
The community that we propose is the People not realized that actually lives on Portugal, Guiné, Cabo Verde, São Tomé e Príncipe, Brasil, Angola, Moçambique, Macau, Timor, and lives, as a migrant or exiled, from Russia to Chile, from Canada to Australia
