Ferro Rodrigues

Ferro Rodrigues

Eduardo Luís Barreto Ferro Rodrigues (born in Lisbon, November 3, 1949) is a Portuguese politician and economist. He is a first cousin twice removed of António Ferro.

He was Minister for Social Security, and later for Public Works in the governments of António Guterres.

Shortly afterwards, in 2002, he was elected Secretary-General of the Portuguese Socialist Party, a position he retained for two years in spite of the multiple scandals that surrounded the party during that time. He finally resigned on July 9, 2004, immediately after President Jorge Sampaio announced a decision not to hold early elections when former Prime Minister Durão Barroso stepped down from office in order to be appointed President of the European Commission. Shortly after, Rodrigues was appointed as Ambassador, Permanent Representative of Portugal to the OECD.

Family

Married to Maria Filomena Lopes Peixoto de Aguiar, he has two children: João Luís Peixoto de Aguiar Ferro Rodrigues, married at Beato, Lisbon, on September 13, 2003 to Joana Dias Loureiro, born in 1976, daughter of Manuel Dias Loureiro, and host Rita Ferro Rodrigues.

Casa Pia affair

As of 2008, Ferro Rodrigues seeks court action on the grounds that his name's involvement in the Casa Pia child sexual abuse scandal destroyed his political career. He wants to fill case in court against those people who accused him of involvement in alleged child abuse crimes.
