Miguel Martinez de Castro Pinto Luz (born 8 March 1977) is a Portuguese politician who is currently serving as Vice President of the Social Democratic Party since 3 July 2022.[1] He has been Minister of Infrastructure and Housing since 2024, in the XXIV Constitutional Government, led by Luís Montenegro.[2]
Political career
Pinto Luz has also served as Secretary of State for Infrastructure, Transportation and Communications during the 20th Constitutional Government[3] and as Deputy Mayor of Cascais from 2017 to 2024.[4][5]
Pinto Luz was a candidate for the Social Democratic Party leadership in 2020 against Rui Rio and Luís Montenegro,[6] coming third with less than 10% of the votes and failing to go to a runoff. During the campaign, he supported an alliance with Chega in case the PSD needed them to form a government.[7]
After the 2022 leadership election, Pinto Luz became one of the Vice presidents of Luís Montenegro. He was chosen as the main candidate from Faro in the 2024 legislative election, a decision that was widely criticized by all the municipal party leaderships.[8]
