Presidential powers

"However, the president does have some political influence and can dissolve the Parliament of Portugal if a crisis occurs."

This is not true, Portuguese president can dissolve the assembly, whenever he or she sees fit to do it, without any restrictions and not in the case of assembly (in)action (political crisis).

Candidates in Infobox

edit

Does it make sense to have all candidates in the infobox? Shouldn't we follow the 5% rule that says that in the infobox only candidates with 5% or more of the vote should be present in the box? Or at least only having major party candidates (so, all candidates until Edgar Silva)?
