Bruno Mascarenhas, the Chega party's candidate for Lisbon's Municipal Council, has identified immigration as the city's most pressing issue. With four years of experience as a deputy in the Lisbon Municipal Assembly, Mascarenhas is now leading Chega's campaign for the first time. His platform includes prioritizing Portuguese citizens in affordable housing programs and social housing allocations.
Key Proposals:
- CPLP Professional Requalification Protocols: Mascarenhas proposes establishing agreements with the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) to facilitate professional requalification, particularly in the construction sector. He argues that CPLP nationals are inherently more suited for construction work.
- Enhanced Powers for Municipal Police: The candidate also seeks to expand the authority of the Municipal Police, criticizing current mayor Carlos Moedas for what he describes as "propaganda" with the city's security plan.
Despite being less known than his competitors, Mascarenhas claims to possess more experience than any of them, downplaying the significance of media visibility. The interview with Expresso took place at an outdoor café in Largo do Carmo, Santa Maria Maior, highlighting the candidate's approachable campaign style.
