About Catarina MARTINS
Catarina Martins represents Portugal in the European Parliament as a member of The Left in the European Parliament (GUE/NGL), the left-wing and socialist grouping that advocates for economic justice, workers' rights, and opposition to austerity policies. She belongs to the Left Bloc (Bloco de Esquerda), Portugal's main left-wing party that emerged from the merger of various socialist and Trotskyist organizations in 1999 and has established itself as a significant force in Portuguese politics, particularly in opposition to neoliberal economic policies. Martins previously served as the Left Bloc's national coordinator (party leader) from 2012 to 2022, during which time she led the party through several legislative elections and played a key role in supporting the Socialist government's anti-austerity agenda following the 2015 elections. Her attendance record in the European Parliament stands at 71.6%, below the average of approximately 82%, and she has participated in 72% of votes, casting 1,342 votes out of 1,873 total votes during her current term.
