As part of its 50th-anniversary celebrations, the Ombudsman\u2019s Office organised a gathering on 25 June for current and former staff members, marking five decades of service in defending citizens\u2019 rights, freedoms and guarantees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event brought together figures who have shaped the institution\u2019s history, such as the first Deputy Ombudsman, Lu\u00eds Lingnau da Silveira, who served during the term of office of the first Ombudsman, Colonel Manuel da Costa Braz. Also present were former Ombudsmen Professor Jos\u00e9 de Faria Costa and Councillor Alfredo Jos\u00e9 de Sousa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event took place in the month marking the 50th anniversary of the institution opening its doors to the public. It was on 9 June 1976 that the institution began its work at its premises at 38 Avenida 5 de Outubro, in Lisbon. The institution is currently based at the Pal\u00e1cio Vilalva in Lisbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
