Nationality Law Specialized Discussion Delayed Again
The specialized discussion of Portugal's nationality law has been postponed for the third time this Thursday, following a request from the PSD party. The debate was scheduled to take place but has been pushed back once more.
Political Justifications for Delay
In statements to journalists, PSD parliamentary leader Hugo Soares justified the postponement request by stating that "it's necessary to talk to find solutions". Soares emphasized that this represents another attempt to reach a broad consensus on the controversial legislation.
New Schedule and Previous Delays
The discussion is now expected to occur on Friday at 9:00 AM. This marks the third postponement of the proposal's debate. The second delay had allowed the Initiative Liberal and Livre parties to present their own proposals.
Party Positions and Proposed Changes
Initiative Liberal advocates for a general rule of ten years for obtaining Portuguese nationality, with a reduced period of seven years for applicants meeting more demanding criteria.
Meanwhile, Livre is pushing for greater protection for refugees and children of those in refugee status, highlighting the humanitarian aspects of nationality legislation.
