Porto, Our Movement (Portuguese: Porto, o Nosso Movimento) is a grassroots movement from the city of Porto, the second largest city in Portugal.[1] It was founded by Rui Moreira in order to run for the 2013 local election.[2][3] The movement has had the support of the CDS – People's Party from 2013 to 2021[4] and of the Liberal Initiative in the 2021 election.[5]
Rui Moreira was elected Mayor of Porto for the first time in 2013,[4] being re-elected in 2017[6] and 2021.[7] In 2025, the movement decided to run again in that year's local elections,[8] selecting Deputy Mayor Filipe Araújo as their candidate,[9] but was mostly wiped out from the city's local government branches.[10]
