Pedro Nuno Santos will lead PS Portugal into the next elections – the Party of European Socialists (PES) congratulates him on his election as secretary-general last night.
The PES President Stefan Löfven will attend the party’s Congress on 5 to 7 January 2024 in Lisbon.
PES Secretary General Giacomo Filibeck, who was in Lisbon with our colleagues from PS Portugal for the primaries said:
“We are looking forward to work with Pedro Nuno Santos ahead of the PES election congress in Rome in March and in the campaign for the European elections 2024. I know him from the time he was a successful leader of Juventude Socialista and he will offer Portugal a progressive alternative to the conservative and far right based on solidarity, fairness and sustainability. He is a capable and skilled negotiator and will put these skills to good use for the whole of Portugal as prime minister following the elections of the 10th of March.”
An economist and former secretary general of PS Portugal’s socialist youth, Pedro Nuno Santos was Secretary of State for Parliamentary Affairs from November 2015 to February 2019 and Minister of Housing and Infrastructure from February 2019 to January 2023.
