Luís Filipe de Menezes Lopes (born 2 November 1953) is a Portuguese politician.

Background

He is a son of José António Lopes (Porto, Alvar, 10 September 1925 –), an Industrialist (son and paternal grandson of cattle dealers and maternal grandson and great-grandson of farmers and maternal grandson of an exposed daughter of unknown parents), and wife (m. Coimbra, Sé Nova, 11 December 1949) Maria Helena de Menezes Borges (Viseu, Abraveses, Aguieira, 15 April 1928 – 10 March 2015), a Licentiate in Philosophy from the Faculty of Letters of the University of Porto and a High School Teacher, whose paternal grandfather was Spanish and whose mother was from the local Nobility.

Career

He is a Licentiate in Medicine specialized in pediatrics from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Porto.

He started his career as a medical doctor.

Affiliated with the Social Democratic Party (PSD), he was a Secretary of State for Parliamentary Affairs and from 1997 to 2013 he was Mayor of the Municipal Chamber of Vila Nova de Gaia (in Greater Porto subregion), one of the most populated Portuguese municipalities.

He was leader of the Social Democratic Party between 12 October 2007 and 20 June 2008.[1] He was elected after Luís Marques Mendes and was succeeded by Manuela Ferreira Leite.

Meneses is considered a populist, his policies as mayor were equally populist and his victory over Marques Mendes is considered a victory of populism in the SDP,[2] as there was a clear difference between the positions of both, having Meneses a more politically correct and pro-people position in most matters, although with a sightly neoliberal stance on the health care system, and a liberal conservative position towards gay rights.[3]

Luis Filipe Menezes is considered as a modern politician.[4] He had the best score in the Municipality elections of October 2009.
