The Constitutional Court decided this Friday, unanimously, not to declare unconstitutional the so-called return law, which addresses the granting of asylum, detention, and return of foreigners.
The law had been approved in Parliament on July 17. In early August, the President of the Republic requested preventive oversight of the law from the Constitutional Court.
António José Seguro considered that some of the legislative solutions in the decree raise serious doubts about the protection of the best interests of the child.
In particular, the President identified concerns about the possibility of separation between parents and children or the indirect or consequential expulsion of minor Portuguese children. The news was being updated.
