Ana Maria Rosa Martins GomesGCCGOIHComM(born 9 February 1954), better known asAna Gomes,is a Portuguese former diplomat[1]and politician of theSocialist Party(PS).

She earned wide recognition for her role in negotiating independence forEast Timor,a former Portuguese colony, and in the reestablishment of diplomatic relations between Portugal andIndonesia.She later suspended her career as a diplomat to enterparty politics,and served as a Member of theEuropean Parliamentfrom 2004 until 2019,[2]where she was an outspoken campaigner on corruption and human rights.

On 10 September 2020, she officially announced her candidacy for the2021 Portuguese presidential election,[3]without official support from the Socialist Party.[4]She finished second, with 13% of the votes, the best result ever achieved by a woman in a presidential election in Portugal.[5]

Education and early political career

[edit]

Ana Gomes was born in 1954 inAlfredo da Costa Maternity Hospital,[6]in theLisbonparish ofSão Sebastião da Pedreira,and she grew up during the authoritarianEstado Novoregime.

Her father, Jorge Pedro Martins Gomes,[7]was an officer of themerchant marineand her mother, Maria Alice Rosa Gomes,[7]ahomemaker.Both were politically minded and opposed the authoritarian regime.[8]In her teenage years, she accompanied her father to the rallies of the opposition movementsDemocratic Unity Electoral Commission(CEUD,Comissão Eleitoral de Unidade Democrática) and thePortuguese Democratic Movement/Democratic Electoral Commissions(MDP/CDE,Movimento Democrático Português/Comissões Democráticas Eleitorais) that unsuccessfully ran in the fraudulent1969 legislative election,[9]amid extensive harassment of opposition candidates and voter manipulation. Her parents allowed her and her sister a liberal education, initially at Colégio da Baforeira, aboarding schoolinParede,and then thelyceuminSão João do Estoril,[9]and later still theMaria Amália Vaz de Carvalho LyceuminLisbon,[8]where she became an activist of the Associative Movement of the Lisbon Secondary Education Students (MAEESL,Movimento Associativo de Estudantes do Ensino Secundário de Lisboa), at the time led byNuno Crato.[8]In what she considered a "political act", Gomes formally requested to be released fromreligious educationclasses at school.[8]

She began attending the Faculty of Law of theUniversity of Lisbonin 1972, a period marked by the regime's increasing academic repression climate in the aftermath of thestudent opposition resistancemovement of theAcademic Crisisin 1962, later revived by theinternational revolutionary movements of 1968;notably, 1972 was the year of the assassination of fellow law studentRibeiro dos Santosby agents of thepolitical police,and early in the year that followed, theMinister of EducationVeiga Simãohad "surveillers" (vigilantes;commonly referred to as the "gorillas" ) placed at the Faculty to enforce police control over students. Ana Gomes soon became active in student political activism against the regime as part of the underground Anti-Colonial Struggle Committees (CLAC;Comités de Luta Anti-Colonial), groups with links to theRe-Organized Movement of the Party of the Proletariat(MRPP;Movimento Reorganizativo do Partido do Proletariado), a clandestine communist party.[10]As aninitiation,she was recruited to paint large murals against theColonial War.[9]

By the time of theCarnation Revolutionthat overthrew the dictatorial regime in 1974, Ana Gomes had been suspended from the Faculty of Law for "subversive activities"; she had been briefly arrested as an agitator, along with a group of fellow students, in December 1973 and was suspended the following month.[9]At around this time, she was first employed part-time as a waitress at the restaurant Caldeiro owned by a popular actress of the time,Maria José Curado Ribeiro(she worked there alongsideRita RibeiroandGuida Maria), and then as a translator for the exports department of theCompanhia Portuguesa de Congelação(Portuguese Frozen Foods Company).[9]She was present at theLargo do Carmoin the afternoon of the day of the revolution, 25 April 1974, when the forces of theArmed Forces Movementled bySalgueiro Maiaand a crowd of civilian supporters besieged the headquarters of theNational Republican Guard,where Prime MinisterMarcelo Caetanohad sought refuge, demanding he cede power. She later went to theFort of Caxiasto witness the release of thepolitical prisoners.[10][9][8]She was preparing to marry a fellow law student and political activist,António Monteiro Cardoso,just as the revolution took place, but the marriage had to be postponed to the following month.[9]

She was elected to the Faculty'sstudent councilin theelectoral listsupported by MRPP in November 1974 (alongsideDurão BarrosoandGarcia Pereira)[8]as well as to the Faculty governing board. After the birth of her daughter in August 1975, she dropped out of law school and quit her job, and focused on working as a translator and interpreter for the press division of the Central Committee of MRPP.[9]

During the political tensions of the "Hot Summer"in 1975, during which the country was on the brink of civil war, culminating with theattempted Communist coup of 25 November,Ana Gomes was on the side of the democratic forces, supporting GeneralRamalho Eanesand theSocialist Partyagainst thePortuguese Communist Party.Shortly after, however, in January 1976, disillusioned with the party's disbelief in thePortuguese transition to democracy,[8]she abandoned MRPP and active politics. She returned to work as a secretary for animport/export companyand resumed her law degreeafter working hours,finally completing it in 1979.[9]She was working as ateaching assistantat the Faculty of Law and training to become alawyerunder Manuel Figueira, a specialist inpublic international lawandmaritime law,[9]when she was challenged by friends João Ramos Pinto and José de Freitas Ferraz to apply for thediplomatic service.[8]She came out on top of all applicants in theconcoursto gain access to theMinistry of Foreign Affairs.[9][8]

Defamation law suits

[edit]

Mário Ferreira vs. Ana Gomes 2019

[edit]

In April 2019 Gomes referred onTwitterto the CEO of Douro Azul,Mário Ferreira,as a "crook" in connection with the shipyard case in Viana do Castelo. This case involved allegations of irregularities and corruption in the shipyard industry, which attracted significant media attention and public scrutiny.

Gomes derogatory remarks about Ferreira led to a legal dispute. A court inPortoultimately ruled in favor of the CEO and found Gomes guilty of defamation and insulting behavior. As a result, she was ordered to pay an indemnity of EUR 10,000 in damages to the CEO as compensation for the harm caused by her statements.[26][27][28]

In January 2024, Gomes faced trial at the Bolhão Court in Porto, in a case involving allegations of aggravated defamation against entrepreneur Mário Ferreira.[29]

The charges stem, once again, from statements made by Gomes X (formerly Twitter) in March 2021, following a report byExpressodetailing Mário Ferreira's investments, including private aviation. This occurred just one month after anOMNIaircraft, purportedly returning to Portugal, was intercepted inBrazilwith over 500 kilograms of drugs on board.[30]

In one of her online posts, Ana Gomes wrote:

How interesting! Thanks to Expresso, we discover that the multifaceted shipowner Mário Ferreira is now investing not only in Media Capital/TVI but also in another struggling profit business: private aviation... Will he be flying to Brazil, following the OMNI's footsteps?

During the trial, Gomes emphasized that her intention had been solely to highlight the lack of control at national aerodromes, where various irregularities are known to occur, while at the same accusing Mário Ferreira of being astraw manfor foreign investors engaged inmoney laundering.[31]

Gomes ended up being accquited from her charges she was facing from Mário Ferreira.[32]
