The Presidency of the Council of Ministers (Portuguese: Presidência do Conselho de Ministros) is the cabinet department of the Government of Portugal. Its mission is to provide support to the Council of Ministers, the Prime Minister and the other members of the cabinet organically integrated in the department. It is also responsible for the promotion of inter-ministerial coordination of the various government departments, and it integrates miscellaneous services that are in the direct dependence of the Prime Minister or that do not sit well in other departments.
The department is headed by the Minister of the Presidency (Portuguese: Ministro da Presidência), who is generically responsible for the coordination of inter-ministerial policies and objectives. The current Minister of the Presidency, since 2024, is António Leitão Amaro.
The Minister of the Presidency often takes on responsibility for areas of policy which are the priority of the Government of the time. At present, the Organic Law of the XXIV Constitutional Government charges the Minister of the Presidency with policy in the areas of migration governance and public administration, namely the management of the civil service and public services.[1]
The current Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, since 2 April 2024, is Pedro Duarte.
