Eugene, looks like you cannot get the names right :-)
It is Antonio Costa (not Antonia which is supposed to be female).
Anyway, Goanet has received extensive articles about him in the past.
Antonio Costa was until very recently number 2 in the present Portuguese
Government (as Interior Minister). He resigned a few months ago to apply for
the job of Mayor of Lisbon (personally I cannot understand why he exchanged
his "number 2 in the Government" Minister's job for a Mayor of Lisbon job,
but he must have his own reasons...)
Anyway, it is predicted that he will indeed be elected Mayor of Lisbon
tomorrow, Sunday 15 July 2007.
This is the website of his campaign.

I hope you are enjoying your time in Lisbon and thanks for sending us news!
Best regards
Paulo.
