The Neighbors of Lisbon association asked the mayor of Lisbon, Carlos Moedas, to notify the presidential campaigns of António José Seguro, Marques Mendes and André Ventura, demanding that they remove the election posters that are still on public roads. Something that, as DN reportedhas to do with the economy of the respective candidacies, which are waiting for such propaganda to be replaced by materials from the parties that supported them.
In the letter sent to Carlos Moedas, the Neighbors of Lisbon association highlights that, after “several weeks of the conclusion of the electoral act”whose second round took place on February 8, with the victory of António José Seguro over André Ventura, the posters of several presidential candidates “remain visible in various arteries of the city, contributing to the degradation of the urban image and the visual pollution of Lisbon’s public space”.
In view of this, the Vizinhos de Lisboa association requests that Lisbon city hall notify campaign structures “to carry out, as soon as possible, the voluntary removal of all electoral propaganda materials still existing on public roads”. And even if, if a reasonable deadline defined by the Lisbon City Council is not met, “coercive removal will be determined, with costs being charged to the responsible entities”as the association reiterates is practiced “regularly” by other Portuguese municipalities.
