TC and the law of return and asylum: "António José Seguro tried to play a collision game between European Law and National Law. It was a completely off-target shot"

Expresso1 September 2026 at 10:15

Miguel Morgado analyses the defeat of the President of the Republic at the Constitutional Court, considering that António José Seguro tried to play a collision game between European Law and National Law, classifying the attempt as "a completely off-target shot". The comment comes following a decision by the Constitutional Court on matters related to European and national law.

The article also addresses Mariana Leitão's speech at the rentrée of Iniciativa Liberal, an event that marks the beginning of the party's political activity. Morgado comments on the liberal leader's intervention in the context of Portuguese political life.

On the international stage, the commentator analyses the (not so) secret CIA visit to Moscow, at a time of tension in relations between Washington and the Russian capital. The American intelligence services' trip is interpreted as a significant diplomatic gesture.

The new trade war between the United States and Canada constitutes another topic analysed, in a context of growing American protectionism. Finally, Morgado revisits the migratory crisis in Ceuta, a month after the events that marked the southern Spanish border.
