People's Tribune (Tribuna Popular) was an almost legendary newspaper in lusophone sector, famous for its dense and hard-line editorials and critiques. From 2000 to 2009, the Tribune was present in every polemical issue concerning lusophone micronations and micronationalism.
Founded in 1999 as an online board by the initial publisher left-winger Daniel Vaz, in Réunion, its first mail-style edition was publicized in february 2000. However, some months later, just before the 8th edition, the at-the-time réunion Bruno Cava became new puslisher, switching radically editorial line. With new directions, the Tribune started a direct approach to political and social aspects of micronationalism, developing a strongly opionionated style, which converged journalism to literature-like dramas, specially while covering scandals, conflicts and polemical subjects.
In April 2001 (41th edition), following the publisher, it was shifted to the Free Community of Pasargada. At least until mid-2006, People's Tribune was generally recognized as the most readed and influential media vehicle within lusophone sector.
It finally made a comeback in the end of 2008, from 180th edition on. Later on, with a new technical publisher, Renan Halphen, the Tribune prepared fir a transfer to Wordpress and Twitter interfaces.
