While sleeping…

… the Observer accounted for the campaign duels. António Costa was attacked by everyone except Inês Sousa Real. Rui Rio and Costa almost only attack each other. The left did not spare the PS leader a single day. Who finally attacked whom in the first week of the campaign? The result of the close observation of this ring is in this special.

In a new poll, made by Aximage for DN, JN and TSF, PSD (34.4%) surpasses PS (33.8%). Chega is the third political force, followed by BE and CDU. IL topples over and is overtaken by PAN. Most can.

Still on the campaign for legislative laws, the Observer continues on the road:

• In Podence, meters from a mural by Guterres, António Costa threw open doors to all sides. Not even victory is guaranteed, let alone the majority, which always talks about the leader.
• In Alto Alentejo, and despite the widespread criticism of the PAN, Rui Rio never completely closed the door on a coalition with a party led by Inês Sousa Real. Costa was the target again.
• In Lisbon, and on a tour of the Tagus, Livre showed that what happened in 2015 was still being recorded. It did not elect any deputy, although it did not fare badly in the polls. A bogeyman that Rui Tavares now directly confronts.
• Appearing for the first time in the campaign with the head of the list for Porto, Inês Sousa Real knows it’s all or nothing. It rose in tone as the left and remembered animals of the right-wing elections.
• The stock of Joãos in the CDU is not yet exhausted and in Beja the prize for “deputy of the legislature” was awarded. João Dias is worth more than “two PS deputies”. But the most important messages came from Oliveira.

Other numbers: the 2021 Corruption Perceptions Index places Portugal in 32nd place, the same position it occupied in 2019 and below the average values ​​of the European Union. Stagnation reveals flaw in strategy. “The most worrying aspect is ignored at the political level”, defends the president of Transparency International.

And in schools, not counting the casualties, schools due to Covid-19 lack 40 teachers. There are less than 25 thousand students due to the absence of teachers. Most medical issues exclude a temporary absence, that is, it corresponds to teachers who had medical issues a month, which pandemic protected the isolations protected by.
