Eduardo Arménio do Nascimento Cabrita (born 26 September 1961, in Barreiro) is a Portuguese legal professional and politician who served as Minister Assistant and Minister of Internal Administration in the cabinet of Prime Minister António Costa from 2015 until 2021. He was a member of parliament from 2002 to 2015, before taking office as minister in the Government.[1][2][3][4]
During his time in government, Cabrita faced criticism over a range of incidents, including the death of a Ukrainian immigrant in custody at Lisbon airport; authorization for celebrations of the national football championship that were blamed for spreading COVID-19; and his handling of a coronavirus outbreak among migrant farm hands.[5] On 3 December 2021, he resigned after his driver was accused of “negligent homicide” over the death of a highway worker, while driving Cabrita's car at 40 km/h above the speed limit,[6] being substituted on the day after by the Minister of Justice Francisca Van Dunem.[7]
