Lisboa. PS Concelhia "in solidarity" with Alexandra Leitão

SAPO15 September 2026 at 19:15

The concelhia of the PS in Lisbon expressed solidarity with Alexandra Leitão, a prominent figure of the party in the capital. The position arises in a context of internal debate about the leadership and representation of the party in the next municipal elections.

Davide Amado spoke to Diário de Notícias about the candidate selection process. The official stressed that only one year before the end of the term will there be definitions regarding the name that will represent the PS in the elections.

The socialist emphasized that the party's internal energy should be directed towards fighting Carlos Moedas, current president of the Lisbon City Council. This declaration reflects the PS's strategic orientation to focus on opposing the municipal executive led by PSD/CDS-PP.

Why this matters

Readers in Lisbon closely follow the PS's preparation for the next municipal elections, and the late definition of the candidate and the orientation to challenge Carlos Moedas indicate a strategy of internal and territorial mobilization that could influence the city's political future. The solidarity with Alexandra Leitão also suggests internal dynamics of gender and continuity in Lisbon's socialist leadership.
