Latest news and stories about campaign controversy in Portugal for expats and residents.
Yesterday on the campaign trail, André Ventura challenged Marques Mendes and Cotrim to put the question of Luís Montenegro's support for a candidacy behind them. Also: the reason for the Admiral's bad mood.
A candidate backed by Chega said that, after all, he does not want the Prime Minister's support. Meanwhile, Cotrim de Figueiredo rejects the idea that the election campaign should be ruined because of the controversy he is embroiled in.
Presidential candidate Gouveia e Melo accused André Ventura today of having “crossed the line” by wearing military camouflage, noted that the Chega leader did not even perform compulsory military service, and said he disrespected the Armed Forces.
If Cotrim's candidacy weren't so strong, there probably wouldn't be an allegation of harassment.
The presidential candidate’s start to the second week was marked by two controversies. Anabela Neves, a CNN Portugal commentator, analyses them.
