António Costa took advantage of the departure of José Apolinário, who ran for the Algarve Regional Coordination and Development Commission, to work with the teams of State Secretaries.

One of the most unexpected movements is that of Jamila Madeira, current Undersecretary of State and Health, in full management of the pandemic.

In addition to health changes, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Housing It is what will change the most. Pedro Nuno Santos reinforced the team with those closest to him, changing interior doors. The minister elevates his chief of staff, Hugo Mendes, undersecretary of State and Communications and recovers Marina Gonçalves, now a deputy and who was his chief of staff, to the position of Secretary of State for Housing. Hugo Mendes, graduated in Sociology from ISCTE and doctor in Political Science, is very close to Pedro Nuno Santos, as well as Marina Gonçalves. The now secretary of state has a master’s degree in administrative law and was a lawyer before joining the team of the then secretary of state for parliamentary affairs. In the last elections she was elected deputy, a position she has held until now. From this Ministry came Alberto Souto, Undersecretary of State and Communications, who goes to Banco do Fomento, and Ana Pinho, Secretary of State for Housing, news already advanced by “Public”.
Taking advantage of the moves, Susana Amador also left the team of Secretaries of State, who was in the Education, for personal reasons. She will be replaced by Inês Pacheco Ramires Ferreira: a jurist, with a master’s degree in Public Law, she is another governor who previously served as chief of staff, in the case of Tiago Brandão Rodrigues, in the previous legislature. The minister now promotes her to secretary of state.
The changes come at a time when it was decided that José Apolinário, Secretary of State for Fishing, will request the CCDR in the Algarve, being replaced by Teresa Coelho. The new secretary of state was president of the board of directors of Docapesca – Portos e Lotas, SA, and has already passed through various governments as deputy and chief of staff in the same area. Now she is the only Secretary of State for Ricardo Serrão Santos, Minister of sea.
