The XIII Constitutional Government of Portugal (Portuguese: XIII Governo Constitucional de Portugal) was the 13th government of the Third Portuguese Republic, under the Portuguese Constitution of 1976. The government was in office from 28 October 1995 to 25 October 1999 and was formed by members of the Socialist Party (PS), the party with the most votes and elected members for the Assembly of the Republic following the 1995 legislative election. António Guterres, leader of the PS, served as Prime Minister.

Composition

The government was initially composed of the Prime Minister and 18 ministries comprising ministers, secretaries and under-secretaries of state. At the end of term, after some reorganizations, the number of ministries was 17. [1]

The government included the Ministers of the Republic for the Autonomous Regions of Azores and Madeira until 5 October 1997, after which the fourth revision of the Constitution came into effect and these positions were removed from the Council of Ministers. [2]
