Carlos Moedas, the current mayor of Lisbon and candidate for the coalition "Por Ti, Lisboa" (PSD/CDS-PP/IL), has selected Margarida Mano, former Minister of Education and Vice-Rector of the Catholic University of Lisbon, as the head of the list for the Lisbon Municipal Assembly. This announcement was made on Monday.
Margarida Mano accepted the invitation, stating she deeply believes in "the vision for the city and the leadership capacity that Carlos Moedas has demonstrated." Moedas praised Mano as "the right person" for the role, highlighting her "global perspective, immense dialogue capacity, unwavering defense of ethics and transparency, and dedication to public service for the common good."
Mano aims to make the Municipal Assembly a space for "participation, dialogue, and defense of all Lisbon residents' interests." Her extensive background includes serving as Minister of Education and Science in the XX Government, Deputy in the Assembly of the Republic during the XIII Legislature, and current roles in various academic and ethical organizations.
The upcoming local elections on October 12 will see several candidates vying for the presidency of the Lisbon City Council, including Alexandra Leitão (PS/Livre/BE/PAN), João Ferreira (CDU), and others, alongside Carlos Moedas.
