These appointments were published in the Diário da República and took effect on 9 March, when António José Seguro became President. At that time, it was also announced that lawyer Cláudia Ribeiro would serve as Secretary of the Council of State and temporarily lead the Civil House, a situation which remains unchanged.

As Civil House advisers, Seguro appointed Rita Saias (also an adviser under Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa), Luís Sobral (who worked in campaign communications), and Maria Luísa Maduro Colaço (on secondment from the Assembly, where she is a parliamentary adviser).

Seguro also appointed Ricardo Branco and Marco Almeida as advisers; both served in Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa’s Civil House.

Florinda Sofia Augusto Cruz and Paula Maria Fragata Martins de Almeida were appointed as advisers to the Civil House. Cristina Maria Martins Farinha Tavares Gomes was named deputy chief of staff.

Other officials already at Belém Palace include the secretaries to the Chief of Staff: Alexandrina Maria Ferreira Afonso Soares, Ana Carla Garcia Miguens Rosa Mateus, Clara Maria Lopes Franco, Daniela Sofia Campos Brandão da Fonseca, and Mónica Alexandra de Sousa Almeida.

Maria Cristina da Cruz Louzeiro was also appointed as Secretary to the Chief of Staff. Madalena Santos Pais Madureira and Susana Maria Tavares Martins da Silva were appointed as personal secretaries to the Office.

Ana Cristina Martins Baptista is the new Secretary-General of the Presidency. Maria Joana de Andrade Ramos has been named Deputy Secretary-General.
