Career

Martins was an engineer and manager for Siemens, a large German company, in the 1960s.

"Rogério Martins was a liberal, in the sense of defending the freedom of economic initiative, the de-bureaucratization of the state, the joy of innovating and proposing new developments. As such, he embodied well the desire for cleaner spaces and air, for more confidence in inspiration supported by safe prudence, in technical competence, a point on which he insisted a lot."

He sat in Parliament in the periods 1983-85 for the liberal-conservative Social Democratic Party and 1991-95 for the social-democrat Socialist Party. He was in the European Affairs Committee.
