Pedro Manuel Mamede Passos Coelho (Portuguese pronunciation:[ˈpeðɾumɐˈnwɛlmɐˈmɛðɨˈpasuʃˈkwɐʎu]; born 24 July 1964) is a Portuguese politician and university guest lecturer who was the
117th prime minister of Portugal, in office from 2011 to 2015. He was the leader of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) between 2010 and 2018.
Passos Coelho started very early in politics and was the national leader of the youth branch of PSD. He led the XIX Governo Constitucional (19th Constitutional Government of Portugal) and the XX Governo Constitucional (20th Constitutional Government of Portugal) as head of government from 21 June 2011 to 26 November 2015. His term in office oversaw the application of the European troika bailout to Portugal (requested by the previous Prime Minister, José Sócrates of the Socialist Party) and was marked by a wave of widespread austerity in both Portugal and abroad.[1][2][3]
