paragraph_text: With parties represented in Parliament
  
  RTP1, SIC and TVI proposed a series of face to face debates, a total of 28, between the leaders of parties, or coalitions, represented in Parliament. The AD coalition proposed that the debates between the coalition and Left Bloc (BE), LIVRE (L) and People-Animals-Nature (PAN) be represented by CDS leader Nuno Melo, instead of Luís Montenegro. Parties criticized this position from AD, with LIVRE and BE refusing to debate Nuno Melo. The two debates between all the leaders of the parties, or coalitions, represented in Parliament were broadcast by RTP1 and by radio stations.
