Luís Filipe Montenegro Cardoso de Morais Esteves (born 16 February 1973)[1] is a Portuguese Social Democratic Party (PSD) politician.

Biography[]

Montenegro graduated in Law from the Catholic University of Portugal, and was president of the Social Democratic Youth in Espinho from 1994 to 1996. He served on the city's council from 1997 to 2001, and ran for mayor in 2005, losing to José Mota of the Socialist Party (PS).[1]

In 2002, Montenegro was elected to the Assembly of the Republic for the Aveiro District. In 2010, he became the PSD parliamentary group's deputy leader, and in June 2011 he received 86% of the votes to lead the group.[2] He left parliament in February 2018 after the defeat of party leader Pedro Passos Coelho, warning that the party should not turn into new leader "Rui Rio's group of friends".[3]

In January 2020, Montenegro was a candidate in the SPD leadership election, challenging Rio. During the campaign, Rio attacked Montenegro for being a Freemason.[4][5] In the run-off, Rio won with 53.2% of the votes.[6]

Rio resigned following the PSD's poor performance in the 2022 Portuguese legislative election. Montenegro was the first person to put himself forward for the party leadership election.[7]
