"We will have a new nationality law," PSD parliamentary leader Hugo Soares told Lusa.

Regarding the version that emerged from the specialization process, the PSD and CDS accept a reformulation presented by Chega on a very specific point, according to which anyone who obtains the nationality through manifestly fraudulent means loses their nationality.

The government's proposal, in this specific article, stipulated that "the good-faith possession of original or acquired Portuguese nationality for at least 10 years is grounds for consolidation of nationality, even if the act that led to its attribution or acquisition is subject to administrative or judicial declaration of nullity."

In conversations over the past few days, according to a PSD source, the party has consistently refused to include a demand from Chega's president, André Ventura, that there be an automatic loss of nationality for serious crimes. According to the PSD, if accepted, this amendment would render the decree leaving parliament unconstitutional.
