The president of the Assembly of the Republic, José Pedro Aguiar-Branco, expressed doubts about the constitutionality of the Chega bill that aims to give priority to Portuguese and European Union member state children in school enrollment processes.
The Chega party proposes that national children or from European Union countries have priority in enrollment processes in the Portuguese education system.
Aguiar-Branco raises questions about the compliance of this proposal with constitutional principles, suggesting that the measure may face legal challenges.
The debate arises at a time when immigration and education policies continue to be debated topics in Portuguese politics.
