Two parties must take definitive action and make a decision:
In the political landscape of Belém, a heated race is unfolding, with Henrique Gouveia e Melo and André Ventura, both candidates, vying for the top spot. This competition has drawn the attention of influential figures, including Aníbal Cavaco Silva, former President of Portugal.
Recently, Cavaco Silva penned an opinion article in Expresso, outlining essential rules for the position of Head of State. Gouveia e Melo responded, stating he was not affected but suggested that Cavaco Silva should be direct about his support if he has one in the Belém race.
The issue at hand seems to stem from the shadow government prepared by Chega, a political party to which Ventura belongs. This potential government structure, if Chega were to win the elections, has been a topic of discussion, with Gouveia e Melo expressing his thoughts on the matter. However, he has not specified what he will do regarding Ventura's potential candidacy.
Cavaco Silva, allegedly supported by the Social Democratic Party (PSD) in the mayoral election of Belém, has not publicly endorsed any candidate as of the information provided. This has led Gouveia e Melo to call on him to clarify if he supports Luís Marques Mendes, another candidate in the race for Belém, or whether he is remaining neutral.
Gouveia e Melo has made it clear that he disagrees with the idea that politics is a caste or a field reserved for individuals who rose through youth parties. His presidential campaign is against the idea that politics is a closed system for certain individuals.
André Ventura, for his part, has not declared whether he wants to run for President of the Republic or Prime Minister. The first names of the members of Chega's shadow government have been revealed, but whether this will impact the race for Belém remains to be seen.
As the race for Belém continues to unfold, it is clear that the stakes are high, and the candidates are not shying away from expressing their opinions and challenging their adversaries. The election promises to be an exciting and closely contested one.
