Neto graduated from university in 2103 and worked for the Parti Socialiste at their Iberian office in Madrid. He impressed fellow members with his political skills and was responsible for compiling the Socialists manifesto for the 2110 presidential election.
Neto quickly rose up the ranks of the Parti Socialiste, being nominated as the Socialist candidate for Alentejo's 4th congressional district in the 2118 federal election. After being an Assembly Member for several terms, Neto was elected as the Senator for the same state, serving two terms.
In 2138, he successfully ran in the Socialist primaries for the Presidential election, which he would eventually win. As President, he passed a law legalising same-sex marriage federally, rather than just in the 50 states that had already legalised it, and led Europe through the 2139 Russian Crisis.
