Tonight, it's Showtime! Luís Marques Mendes Unveils Honorary Committee with Key Players
Get ready, Portugal! The presidential race heats up as Luís Marques Mendes, a contender for the upcoming elections, prepares to reveal his honorary committee at UACS - Union of Commerce and Services Associations, letting the cat out of the bag at 9:00 PM sharp. And Manuela Ramalho Eanes, the wife of the former President António Ramalho Eanes, is rumored to be part of the high-powered crew.
The mayor's list of supporters, including Ramalho Eanes, is set to be revealed for all to see. But the lady's reason for backing Luís Marques Mendes? That secret gets sealed with a written declaration.
The event isn't exclusive to Marques Mendes' PSD party but will include various independents and figures from diverse political landscapes. Notable attendees will be Leonor Beleza, the president of the Champalimaud Foundation, acting as the honorary committee president herself, Carlos Moedas, the Lisbon Municipal Chamber's president and social democrat leader, Alice Vieira, the esteemed wordsmith, and João Perestrello, the head honcho of SEDES Jovem. BrACE YOURSELF, folks! This event promises more than a few political fireworks!
You won't want to miss out on this political circus. The organizers expect a crowd of around 400 rabid fans, eager to see the faces behind Marques Mendes' presidential dreams. Lights...camera...action!
But, this isn't all, folks. Marques Mendes is not the only player in the game. Two other possible candidates have already joined the race: Admiral Gouveia e Melo and António José Seguro, the latter announcing his bid for the Oval Office on this very Tuesday.
Stay tuned for more developments in this magnificent political melody!
With a hint of Lusa and a dash of secret sauce
P.S.: Among the potential candidates for the 2026 Portuguese presidential elections, other notable figures include Henrique Gouveia e Melo, a former coordinator of the COVID-19 Vaccination Task Force, and André Ventura, the charismatic leader of the CHEGA party. The Socialist Party is reportedly mulling over candidates like António José Seguro (former PS leader) and Augusto Santos Silva (former President of the Assembly of the Republic)[1]. But, at this point, these names are only rumors; no official confirmations have been made. Stay focused, friends, we'll keep you posted!
