Portugal out, Marques Mendes still smiling

Months after the presidential election, campaign billboards featuring a smiling Marques Mendes and António José Seguro remain displayed in Montijo and other cities. The political parties, PSD and PS, are delaying the removal of these posters to save costs, waiting until they have new promotional material to replace them. This practice has drawn criticism for contributing to visual pollution and urban degradation, with local associations calling for their removal. The situation highlights the growing irrelevance of traditional billboard propaganda in modern political communication.
