Nationality as a fundamental right: the fight for speed and justice
Nationality is not just a legal status, but a fundamental right that symbolizes belonging and identity. However, for many, the process of obtaining it has been marked by delays and bureaucratic obstacles that challenge essential principles such as justice and human dignity – pillars of a democratic state governed by the rule of law. In this scenario, Martins Castro created a legal thesis to defend the interests of its clients and ensure that their processes are concluded fairly and quickly.
The right to nationality is guaranteed by the Constitution as a fundamental right, and its exercise should not encounter obstacles imposed by the State. For applicants, the procedural rights provided for in Article 268 of the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic guarantee this security.
Given the systematically missed deadlines and the increasing delays in processing applications, the debate on the management and efficiency of nationality processes is more urgent than ever.
What is the legal basis for the thesis developed by Martins Castro?
According to the thesis developed by Martins Castro, which has already been validated by the Portuguese judiciary, the Registry Offices must adopt rigorous and efficient practices to ensure a quick and impartial analysis of nationality applications. The regulations that guide the processing of nationality applications require the Administration to observe the principles of legality and justice, respecting the deadlines to protect the legitimate rights of the applicants. Failure to comply with these deadlines allows the applicant to resort to the Judiciary to assert his or her rights.
Our actions are based on legal, ethical and practical values, aiming to represent people who seek to exercise their fundamental right to nationality. Defending the legitimate interests of these applicants and demanding strict compliance with the rules is a commitment that aims to promote a culture of responsibility and respect for the rights of those who trust in the system.
Results obtained:
To date, Martins Castro’s thesis has demonstrated significant results. In more than 50% of the cases brought to court, we have achieved favorable decisions, ensuring that legal deadlines are respected. This commitment reaffirms the importance of strictly observing the established deadlines and obligations, allowing the Portuguese nationality process to occur with transparency and speed. This approach not only benefits our clients, but also contributes to a fairer and more efficient public administration.
