The 'Socialist Party' (Portuguese: ''Partido Socialista'', pron. ) is a political party of Portugal. It was founded on April 19, 1973 in the German city of Bad Münstereifel, by militants of the Portuguese Socialist Action (Portuguese: ''Acção Socialista Portuguesa'').
José Sócrates, Prime Minister of Portugal, is the leader of the party. The former President of Portugal, Jorge Sampaio, is also a member of the party. The party has currently 121 of 230 seats in the Parliament.
José Sócrates obtained a landslide victory (conquered 77% of the votes) in early October 2004 for the succession of Ferro Rodrigues as Secretary-General of the party. Other candidates for the post were Manuel Alegre and João Soares in a vote by party members.
It is a member of the Socialist International and the Party of European Socialists, and has 12 members in the European Parliament.
