Biography

Fabian Figueiredo studied Sociology in the Faculty of Economics of the University of Coimbra.[3]

In 2017, he was the Left Bloc's candidate for Mayor of Loures, running, among others, against André Ventura, at the time the candidate from the PSD.[4] He filled a crime complaint against Ventura after his controversial remarks about the Romani people.[5] In 2021 he was once again a candidate for Mayor, failing once again to be elected.[6]

In 2019, he was the 7th candidate on the BE's list from Lisbon. He later became a member of the Assembly of the Republic, replacing Pedro Filipe Soares temporarily.[7]

In 2024, he was chosen as the 2nd candidate on the BE's list from Lisbon, only after party coordinator Mariana Mortágua, being elected to the Portuguese Parliament.[2] After the election, he was chosen by the Left Bloc's political commission as the parliamentary leader of the Left Bloc, succeeding Pedro Filipe Soares, who retired from politics.[8]
