Latest news and stories about candidate endorsement in Portugal for expats and residents.
An MEP gives several reasons for AD voters to back Seguro, says Montenegro is a 'federating' figure for the AD space and accuses Carneiro of being rather unintelligent for turning the first-round result into a partisan issue.
António Tavares, a former supporter of Gouveia e Melo, says he may back Seguro in the second round. Meanwhile José Ribeiro e Castro, a former leader of the CDS, won’t disclose who he will vote for but criticises Ventura’s candidacy.
The candidate backed by Livre says he was the pleasant surprise of these elections because he went from being unknown to someone admired.
The candidate also had the backing of former president Cavaco Silva, who, in a video, emphasised Marques Mendes's preparedness and said he would be 'independent' and 'demanding' of the Government.
After 'Seguro is cool', João Soares joins Seguro's campaign. The Socialist draws contrasts with other candidates and assesses polls that are going from strength to strength — all while tucking into a Sintra travesseiro (a local pastry).
Eurico Brilhante Dias urged left-wing parties and supporters to unite and support Seguro's candidacy.
