The race for the country’s largest chamber promises to be close against Carlos Moedas, with polls predicting a tight dispute. The smaller parties adopt different strategies depending on the municipalities, sometimes forming coalitions and sometimes competing separately, while the CDU maintains its own candidacy.
The race for Lisbon gains particular attention on Sunday, mainly because it is the largest chamber in the country and because polls predict a close fight.
The leaders of the left-wing coalition, which wants to defeat Carlos Moedas, made the traditional descent from Chiado, confident of victory. The spirit is one of unity.
In the great descent of Chiado, the four national leaders of this coalition were present: PS, Bloco de Esquerda, Livre and PAN. Everyone to show support for Alexandra Leitão.
In the political chessboard of these local authorities, the smaller parties play in different positions. For example, Livre and Bloco are linked in some chambers, but in others they compete separately.
The PAN does not run alone for any chamber. Where the game goes, it gets closer to the more central parties. There are chambers where it is alongside the PS, such as Coimbra and Lisbon, but in others it appears alongside the PSD, such as Sintra.
On the last day of the campaign, the left appears practically united, if it weren’t for the CDU to vote alone, and on Sunday it will be able to mix up the accounts and ambitions of this coalition, running on its own track.
