José Pereira Coutinho

José Pereira Coutinho is a seasoned politician and member of the Legislative Assembly of Macau, known for his active role in public service and advocacy for civil servant rights. He has previously navigated similar loyalty oaths, having taken one himself in 2005, and has expressed a perspective that views the recent requirement for public servants to swear allegiance to China as a measure that could foster accountability and responsibility within the administration. His comments have indicated a belief that such measures, while contentious, may not significantly impede the functioning of governance in Macau.
