Summary:

  • Proposed changes to Portugal's nationality law could revoke citizenship for serious crime convicts under specific conditions

  • Extended residency requirements for foreigners seeking Portuguese citizenship spark debate

  • Immigrant associations argue reforms are a "concession to the far-right"

  • Legal expert Ana Rita Gil discusses the implications of these changes on the P24 podcast

A shift in paradigm is how legal expert Ana Rita Gil views the proposed changes to Portugal's nationality law. These amendments include the revocation of nationality for individuals convicted of serious crimes under certain conditions and following a judicial decision. Additionally, the reforms would extend the time required for foreigners to obtain Portuguese citizenship.

Immigrant associations in Portugal have criticized these proposals, labeling them as a "concession to the far-right". In this episode of P24, we delve into the implications of these changes with jurist Ana Rita Gil.
