The Association of Synergy of Macao ( Chinese: 傳新澳門協會; Portuguese: Associação da Sinergia de Macau), often shortened to Synergy of Macao (傳新澳門; Sinergia de Macau), is a centrist political party in Macau. It is represented in the Legislative Assembly.
History
The formation of Synergy of Macao was announced on 5 February 2017 by Ron Lam U-tou, a former member of Macao Federation of Trade Unions, along with retired senior civil servant Vitor da Rocha Vai, former editor of Macao Daily News Ian Heng-ut, and then-vice-convener of Northern District Community Service Consultative Committee Ho Chong-chun. [1] [2] Lam raised concern over discussion of current issues in the society, which he described as rather subjective and lack of analysis. Building a new platform, Synergy of Macao aimed to monitor the government while solving social illnesses through new pathways, hence achieving a fair, free, and just community. [3] The Association was formally registered on 16 March 2017. [4]
Although claiming no plan nor intention to join the upcoming Legislative Assembly election at the formation, the Association participated in the 2017 legislative election under the brand of "Synergy Power" ( Chinese: 傳新力量; Portuguese: Poder da Singeria), highlighting the "third way" between pro-Beijing establishments and pro-democracy opposition. Synergy of Macao focused on transport and housing agenda in their party platform, while advocating political reform - including "one person two votes", of which voters can vote in both geographical and functional constituency seats, [5] and to push for step-by-step universal suffrage of Macanese Chief Executive. [6] [7] Synergy Power eventually ranked sixteenth in the election, failed to win any seats. [8]
The Association ran for the second time in 2021 and won a seat in geographical constituency as votes received surged. Chairman Ron Lam entered the Legislative Assembly as the sole centrist in the parliament. [9]
