The President of the Republic promulgated the Aliens and Asylum Granting Law. This legislation addresses issues related to immigration and the granting of asylum in the country.

António José Seguro requested the Constitutional Court to conduct preventive review of the constitutionality of some provisions of the Decree of the Assembly of the Republic. The request aims to analyze whether certain articles of the law are in conformity with the Constitution.

Preventive review is a mechanism that allows verification of the constitutionality of norms before they come into force, ensuring that legislation respects the established constitutional principles.
