André Ventura, leader of Chega, revealed a "preliminary agreement" with the AD (Democratic Alliance) regarding guidelines to amend the nationality law. This agreement includes a commitment to block hearings requested by the left, aiming for swift legislative changes by the start of the next parliamentary session.
Ventura emphasized the collaboration between Chega and AD in reforming foreigner laws and establishing a new National Unit for Foreigners and Borders within the PSP. He criticized the left's attempts to delay the process through extensive hearings, stating these were tactical moves rather than genuine efforts to improve the legislation.
Key points of the agreement include discussions on revoking nationality for criminals, though specifics on automatic revocation and timelines remain under negotiation. Ventura also highlighted the need for deportation centers, a subsidy inspection police force, and supplementary pay for border police in the 2026 State Budget, signaling these as natural progressions of recent parliamentary approvals.
Despite not labeling these as "red lines", Ventura made it clear that Chega expects these measures to be reflected in the upcoming budget, hinting at potential challenges in budget approval if ignored. He assured Chega's firm stance on these issues while expressing willingness to collaborate within the new political framework.
