The Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, and the 17 ministers of the XXIV Constitutional Government take office today, at 6 pm, at the Ajuda National Palace.
This will be the third executive that the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, will take office – but the first led by the PSD, the party he already presided over – and neither of the previous two fulfilled their mandate to the end.
In the Ambassadors’ Room, the head of state will inaugurate the prime minister and then the 17 ministers, who will be called one by one, in hierarchical order, to take the oath and sign the instrument of inauguration.
The Secretaries of State of the XXIV Constitutional Government, who are not yet known, will only take office on Friday.
