Contrary to André Ventura's claims, the President of the Portuguese Parliament has not yet taken a stance on Chega's proposed bill regarding the withdrawal of nationality in cases of crime. TSF reached out to José Pedro Aguiar-Branco's office, which confirmed that discussions with parliamentary groups are still ongoing, following the Assembly of the Republic's services deeming the bill unconstitutional.
The case is still under review, and Ventura's accusations against Aguiar-Branco of obstructing his party's political action are based on a misunderstanding. No official decision has been made by the Parliament's President on this matter.
André Ventura had announced his intention to appeal a supposed decision by the Assembly's President to reject the bill's admissibility due to constitutional concerns. However, the bill has only received a non-binding negative opinion from the Parliament's services, which questioned its compliance with the Constitution.
The Chega leader criticized Aguiar-Branco for allegedly blocking his party's initiatives, a claim the President's office denies. The bill's contentious points include potential violations of the principle of equality and the Constitution's stance on citizenship rights, as highlighted by legal experts cited in the Parliament's opinion.
