The commentator from 'Tarde das Estrelas' says that the haters of the former television presenter are seeking visibility.

Jorge Pinto accused Cotrim de Figueiredo of trying to cover up a harassment case by criticising journalists. He also insisted that he did not call for tactical voting for other candidacies, such as António José Seguro's, even after sending a letter to Livre members giving them the freedom to vote for whichever candidate their conscience dictates.

After uncertainty over whether he would withdraw, Jorge Pinto added to the confusion: in the campaign's final push he quietly urged supporters to vote for Seguro. He backtracked less than an hour later and criticised journalists.

A dinner rally in Matosinhos, Porto, was attended by the president of IL. Mariana Leitão says there are no harassment complaints against the candidate and criticises the media.

After a campaign event in Santo Tirso, journalists positioned themselves, as always, to hear the candidate, but it was Cotrim de Figueiredo who set the pace of the moment.
The presidential candidate says the media are doing 'a terrible disservice to democracy'.

The presidential candidate complains that the media will not drop the issue. António José Seguro also believes he has done enough to secure the loyalty of left-wing voters to his candidacy.

Pedro Santos Guerreiro, chief executive of CNN Portugal, says that João Cotrim de Figueiredo “is casting himself as the victim” by criticising the media over the alleged harassment of a former IL aide.
