Pedro was born in Portimão, Portugal, but is not recognized as a Portuguese citizen. His parents are from Ukraine, but they also do not recognize his Ukrainian nationality. Without nationality from any country, Pedro currently awaits stateless status.
The young man says that when Portuguese nationality is attributed to him, he will throw a party to celebrate. Pedro's situation exemplifies the reality of many people who are born in Portuguese territory but cannot obtain nationality because they do not meet the legal requirements, either on the part of their parents or due to other bureaucratic obstacles.
