  • A campaign event in Telheiras had low turnout, with efforts to energize supporters by turning up music and encouraging singing.

Political Tensions Rise in Lisbon Campaign

In a surprising campaign moment, Carlos Moedas received support from former PSD leader Manuela Ferreira Leite, who declared that Lisbon is at least "better and safer underground." This statement highlights ongoing improvements in the city's infrastructure, particularly below the surface.

Campaign Dynamics Heat Up

During an arruada in Telheiras, a member of Moedas' caravan urged a "jotinha" to "turn up the music and get everyone singing," aiming to energize the event. However, the turnout was limited, with few people on the streets at that hour. Ferreira Leite's appearance was intentional, showing her backing for Moedas and emphasizing the city's progress.

Accusations Fly in Political Battle

Moedas continues his offensive against Leitão, accusing him of "hiding" Mariana Mortágua. This accusation adds fuel to the political fire, as the coalition "Por ti, Lisboa" mobilizes its supporters. The clash underscores the intense rivalry and strategic moves in Lisbon's political landscape, with infrastructure and safety being key talking points.
