The President of the Republic promulgated the Return Law after the Constitutional Court considered the law constitutional. This decision marks the conclusion of the legislative process on this matter.

Seguro, in a statement on the promulgation, stated that reforms in these matters are desirable. However, he emphasized that they must be carried out with legal certainty.

The President had sent the law for review by the Constitutional Court before proceeding with its promulgation, as a gesture of institutional caution given the issues raised regarding the constitutionality of the legislation.

The Return Law aims to establish rules for the return of citizens who have left the country, setting out mechanisms and conditions for this process.
