New version of the foreigners' law was not agreed "with any party"

The PSD and CDS-PP presented a new version of the controversial legislation on the entry of foreigners to Parliament. None of the other parties were consulted, but the text maintains the principles of rigor and control over immigration.

It should be noted that the new version of the amendment to the legal regime governing the entry, stay, departure and removal of foreigners comes after the first text was rejected by the Constitutional Court.

This amended version was presented this Wednesday by the Minister of the Presidency, António Leitão Amaro.

According to the PSD, the text “accommodates all of the Court's observations,” particularly on matters relating to family reunification and access to the law, “without calling into question the Government's policy.”
