Oligarch Umar Kremlev is described as close to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The article presents him as a Russian businessman with ties to the Kremlin.

The politicians we have

A study by the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation analyzed the profiles of all Portuguese ministers between 1976 and 2025, concluding that Portugal has higher levels of specialization than Spain, Italy, and Greece. The most frequent profile is that of the "political-specialist" (38%), and 31% of ministers are experts — the highest percentage among the four Southern European countries. Although parties continue to dominate appointments, approximately 70% of ministers have higher education and 78% have professional experience related to the portfolio they oversee. The study also found that women tend to require more technical profiles to access Government, and that portfolios such as Foreign Affairs maintain greater party control, while areas such as Energy or Environment welcome more specialists.
