António Guterres was born in Lisbon and grew up there. As a young child, he already showed the abilities that would grant him the national award for best high school student of the year in 1965. He continued his studies in Instituto Superior Técnico, where he pursued degrees in physics and electronics. During his college years, Guterres was never involved in the student opposition to the fascist regime of António de Oliveira Salazar. He dedicated himself to his degree and the meetings of the JUC (Catholic University Students Movement), ending as a member of the Opus Dei. In 1971 he graduated and started an University career as Assistant Professor.

His political career started in 1972, when he enrolled as a member of the Socialist Party. Shortly thereafter, he quit the academic life and became a full-time politician.

Following the retirement of Cavaco Silva in 1995, the Socialist Party won the general elections and Guterres became prime minister of Portugal. With a style markedly different from that of his predecessor, based on dialogue and discussion with all sections of society, Guterres was a popular prime minister in the first years of his government. He was re-elected in 1999, and from January to July of 2000, he occupied the Presidency of the European Council. In 2002, following a disastrous result for the Socialist Party in the local elections, and the regrettable state of the Portuguese public finances, Guterres resigned and put an end to the government.
