Summary:

  • Livre in talks with PS, BE, and PAN for a coalition in Lisbon's municipal elections

  • Rui Tavares confirms he will not be a candidate but will participate in the campaign

  • Alexandra Leitão (PS) likely to lead the coalition, leveraging her party's strong electoral history

  • Current governance under Carlos Moedas criticized as lacking strategy and coherence

  • Other parties' candidates announced, setting the stage for a competitive election

Livre is currently in dialogue with PS, BE, and PAN to form a coalition for the upcoming municipal elections in Lisbon, as revealed by the party's co-spokesperson Rui Tavares. Despite his active participation in the campaign, Tavares confirmed he will not be a candidate.

Key Developments:

  • Dialogue is ongoing with PS, BE, and PAN, while CDU (PCP/PEV) has declined to join.
  • No guarantees have been made regarding the coalition's formation, with negotiations still underway.
  • Alexandra Leitão (PS) is seen as the potential head of the coalition list, given her party's historical performance in municipal elections.

Rui Tavares emphasized the importance of a progressive and ecologist convergence to challenge the current governance under Carlos Moedas (PSD), described as erratic and lacking strategy. Meanwhile, Moedas' re-candidacy and a potential coalition between PSD and IL remain unconfirmed.

Other Candidates:

  • Alexandra Leitão (PS)
  • João Ferreira (CDU)
  • Carolina Serrão (BE)
  • Ossanda Líber (Nova Direita)
  • José Pinto Coelho (Ergue-te)
  • Bruno Mascarenhas (Chega)

Rui Tavares will not run in the elections, focusing instead on his role in the Assembly of the Republic and participating in the campaign as a grassroots activist.
