Susana Peralta was recently elected to the Conselho Económico e Social (CES) as a personality of recognized merit. CES is a constitutional body for social consultation, whose main objectives are to promote the participation of economic and social agents in the decision-making processes of sovereign bodies, within the scope of socio-economic matters. It is also, par excellence, the space for dialogue between the Government, the Social Partners and other representatives of organized civil society.
