The National Association of Portuguese Municipalities (ANMP) has put forward the candidacy of Liliana Pimentel, mayor of Condeixa-a-Nova, for the co-presidency of the Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR).

The Steering Committee of the ANMP has approved the nomination of Pimentel, who currently heads the Municipal Chamber of Condeixa-a-Nova, for a prominent role in the European local government structure.
This initiative aims to strengthen the projection and influence of Portuguese municipalities on the European stage. The candidacy also seeks to value the experience gained by local government in Portugal and promote collaborative leadership, uniting diverse political and territorial perspectives.
The ANMP highlighted that the proposal additionally aims to increase the representation of Southern European countries and women in leadership positions within European local government.
