Mariana Guimarães Vieira da Silva (born 8 May 1978)[1] is a Portuguese sociologist and politician who served as Minister of the Presidency in António Costa's XXIII Constitutional Government, effectively in second in the government.[2][3]
Mariana Vieira da Silva is the daughter of politician José António Vieira da Silva,[4] himself a government minister in the Socialist cabinets of José Sócrates and António Costa, and economist Margarida Guimarães. She has a brother, Miguel Vieira da Silva, who is a musician.[1] In her youth, between the ages of 9 and 19, Vieira da Silva was a competitive swimmer for Sporting CP, specialising in the demanding 200 metres butterfly stroke.[1][5]
Vieira da Silva earned a licentiate degree in Sociology from ISCTE – University Institute of Lisbon, in 2002,[1] and has not yet concluded her doctorate in Public Policy (she has finished the coursework but has not yet presented her dissertation on the subject of health and education policies in Portugal).[2]
