Fernando Alexandre, Minister of Education, was the political figure who appeared most in the news in Portugal during the month of July. This prominence is mainly due to the period of grading of national exams, which took place that month and placed the theme of education at the center of media current affairs.
Luís Montenegro, Prime Minister, fell in the ranking of television exposure during the same period. This decline contrasts with his usual position among the country's most media-covered figures.
André Ventura, leader of the Chega party, also registered a drop in the news ranking during July. The politician, who normally maintains a constant presence in the media, lost ground in terms of media coverage.
The month of July was marked by the process of assessment and grading of national secondary school exams, which largely explains the high exposure of Education Minister Fernando Alexandre during this period.
