José Sócrates Carvalho Pinto de Sousa, commonly known by his given names José Sócrates, is the
prime minister of Portugal and secretary-general of the Socialist Party. Sócrates first became
prime minister in 2005 and was re-elected in 2009.

He was born in 1957 and spent his early years in the city of Covilhã. At the age of 18 he went to
Coimbra, where he earned a degree in civil engineering. He received an MBA in 2005 from the
Lisbon University Institute.

José Sócrates was one of the founders of the youth branch of the Portuguese Social Democratic
Party before changing his political affiliation and joining the Portuguese Socialist Party in 1981. He
was a technical engineer for the Covilhã city council and has been elected a member of the
Portuguese parliament since 1987. He served as spokesperson on environmental affairs for the
Socialist Party from 1991 to 1995. In 1995, he entered government as secretary of state for the
environment. Two years later, Sócrates became minister for youth and sports and was one of the
organizers of the EURO 2004 cup in Portugal. He became minister for environment and territorial
planning in 1999. Following the elections of 2002, Sócrates became a member of the opposition in
the Portuguese parliament. In 2004, he became secretary-general of the Socialist Party. After the
victory of his party in the 2005 Portuguese election, Sócrates was called on to form a new
government. He was elected for a second term as prime minister in September 2009.
Portugal has made dramatic changes in its energy policy over the last five years under the
government of Prime Minister Sócrates. The country's installed renewable energy capacity more
than tripled between 2004 and 2009 and renewable energy sources now represent roughly
thirty-six percent of electricity consumed. Thanks to this performance, Portugal currently ranks
fourth in Europe in energy production from renewables.

Under Prime Minister Sócrates, the government has tried to create new rules and implement
reforms aimed to improve efficiency and rationalize resource allocation in the public sector, fight
civil servant overcapacity, and reduce bureaucracy, but the country's public debt and deficit, as
well as high unemployment, remain problems.

This spring, Portugal joined the five European countries that have already legalized same-sex
marriage: Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Norway, and Sweden. France and Denmark recognize
same-sex unions, which convey many but not all of the rights enjoyed by married couples.

Sócrates has two sons, José Miguel and Eduardo.
