In the first round, Seguro showed up as an independent candidate , but for that he didn't have to work too hard, because he immediately got the support of many celebrities from the traditional Portuguese right.
Moreover, the polls are expected to receive 67% of the vote, so the victory will strengthen not only politically but also personally the Socialist candidate, who disappeared from the front line of politics in 2014 after losing the vote with former Minister Antonio Costa.
Seguro, 64, has stressed the importance of public healthduring the campaign, which is at its worst in recent years in Portugal because of the outbreak of influenza that has collapsed the system, its serious structural problems and the lack of staff that has led to several closures.
In Ventura's view, there is an "ocean of differences" between the two, at least as he said in the only televised debate this second round.
