Known as the “candidate of love” in the Algarve, Humberto Correia is the surprise entrant in the Presidential election, unaffiliated with traditional political parties and with a background unlike his rivals. A painter and author who lived in France and worked across several sectors, he has pledged to tour the country dressed as Dom Afonso Henriques and to tackle what he calls the nation’s biggest problem: the housing crisis. He announced his bid for President of the Republic, saying he offers an alternative because he understands the suffering and poverty experienced by many Portuguese.
