Latest news and stories about celebrity politics in Portugal for expats and residents.
The TVI presenter has spoken out to clarify his position in response to a manipulated video circulating online.
Manuela Ferreira Leite praised Marques Mendes — and especially his wife — at a supporters' lunch in Lisbon. The candidate refers to polls as 'for every taste' and urges supporters: 'believe'.
'Ferraris for everyone' and 'wine from the taps' are among Manuel João Vieira's promises that caught The Guardian's attention. The presidential candidate appears on the British paper's front page.
Promises to give a Ferrari to every Portuguese person and to have wine piped into every home were highlighted.
In 2005, Manuel João Vieira had already presented himself as a pre-candidate for the Presidency of the Republic with the slogan 'I will only give up if I am elected', but in the newspaper BLITZ he took on the role of political commentator to talk about the Legislative elections that resulted in José Sócrates's victory. Along the way he proposed measures and offered suggestions. Recall them now, as the leader of Ena Pá 2000 is one of the candidates in the 2026 Presidential election.
