The Government is currently analyzing the decision of the Constitutional Court, which ruled certain norms in the proposed foreigners' law as unconstitutional. António Leitão Amaro, speaking from the Algarve, emphasized the Government's intention to adjust these norms while still pursuing changes to family reunification policies.
Key Adjustments Ahead: Despite respecting the Court's decision, the Government disagrees and plans to modify the norms deemed unconstitutional. The focus remains on strengthening immigration regulation, including through channels like the CPLP and work-seeking visas, which were not contested by the President or the Court.
Divisions Within the Court: Leitão Amaro highlighted that the Constitutional Court's decision was not unanimous, with several judges dissenting. The Government shares this dissent but maintains institutional respect for the Court's ruling.
Next Steps: The Government is committed to finding solutions that comply with the Constitutional Court's decision while still regulating immigration, particularly in family reunification. This includes adjusting the five rejected norms to introduce necessary limits and rules, supported by European directives and human rights courts.
