Portugal leads European list in number of ministers, experts and specialists

RTP Notícias14 September 2026 at 10:20

Portugal leads the European list in number of ministers, experts and specialists over the last 50 years of democracy. This data refers to the period since the restoration of democracy in Portugal, placing the country at the top of the European ranking in terms of representation of professionals with these roles.

Why this matters

Portuguese readers may be interested in knowing that the country stands out in Europe in terms of government appointments, which may reflect both the country's democratic stability and the concentration of decision-making positions among a limited number of people over the last five decades. This position may have implications for the renewal and diversity of future governments.
