The Minister of the Presidency, António Leitão Amaro, today defended the return law, which obtained approval from the Constitutional Court. In his speech, the government official highlighted that this legislation constitutes an important tool for authorities to combat illegal immigration.
Leitão Amaro also stressed that "violating the law has consequences," conveying a message of firmness regarding compliance with migration rules. The minister's position comes following the constitutional validation of the law by the court.
The Constitutional Court gave the "green light" to the return law, which means the legislation was considered in conformity with constitutional principles and can come into force or continue to be applied. This judicial approval reinforces the government's position on migration policy.
