Poliitico conservador moderado.Es hijo de un exiliado republicano español, Luis Gabriel Portillo, amigo del escritor Unamuno y viceministro socialista de Justicia bajo la República.
Portillo fue secretario general del Tesoro con sólo 38 años y ministro de Defensa. Durante los 25 años de su carrera política pasó del ala derecha del partido, como férreo partidario de la pena de muerte y los recortes en el presupuesto de los asuntos sociales, a ser un defensor de un conservadurismo con "rostro humano", abierto a todos.
