Political career

edit

Carneiro served as Minister of Internal Administration in the XXIII Constitutional Government of Portugal from 2022 to 2024.[1] Polling in 2023 found him to be the most popular minister in the government of António Costa.

Following Costa's resignation as the prime minister of Portugal, Carneiro was a candidate for the leadership of the Socialist Party.[2] On 16 December of the same year, he lost against Pedro Nuno Santos in an internal vote.[3]
