Pinto was born on 20 April 1987 in Amarante.[1][2] He received a master's degree in environmental engineering the University of Porto in 2010 after producing a thesis titled Rainwater Harvesting Systems Implementation Inside Karunya University Campus for the Karunya University.[1][3] He received a doctorate in social and political philosophy from the University of Minho in 2020 after producing a thesis titled Green republicanism: non-domination for an ecologically sustainable planet.[1][4]

Career edit

Pinto is an environmental engineer by profession.[1] He has worked abroad since 2008, in Lithuania, India, France, Italy and most recently in Brussels since 2012.[2] He was a research associate at the University of Minho's Centre for Ethics, Politics and Society.[5][6]

Pinto has written a number of books and comic books.[2] The comic book Amadeo, a vida e obra entre Amarante e Paris (2018), about the life of painter Amadeo de Souza Cardoso, was written by Pinto and illustrated by Eduardo Viana.[7] Rendimento Básico Incondicional - Uma defesa da liberdade (2019), which he co-authored, won the 2019 Philosophy Essay Prize from the Portuguese Philosophy Society.[8] Tamem digo - uma história de migrações (2022), written by Pinto and illustrated by Julia da Costa, tells the story of Pinto's grandmother Maria do Carmo and other women who stayed behind during the wave migration to France under fascist rule in Portugal.[9][10] He also wrote the plays Uma História Trágico-Marítima, which received an honourable mention in the 2017 INATEL/Teatro da Trindade awards, and Seis meses.[11]

Between the ages of 18 and 25, Pinto was a member of the Socialist Party but became disillusioned with the party's lack of commitment to progressivism, environmentalism and the European left ideals.[12] He was one of the founders of the LIVRE party and was part of the Contact Group, the party's executive body, from 2014 to 2020.[1][2] At the 2015 legislative election Pinto was placed first on LIVRE's list of candidates in Europe but the party failed to win any seats in the constituency.[13] He was a candidate for LIVRE at the 2019 and 2022 legislative elections in Porto but on each occasion the party failed to win any seats in the constituency.[14][15] He was elected to the Assembly of the Republic at the 2024 legislative election.[16]
