Change in the Portuguese government: what changes for those seeking nationality?

What does this mean in practice?
- Nationality laws in force remain valid and operational.
- Ongoing processes continue to be assessed by the registry offices as normal.
- Instability affects the legislative process, but does not compromise acquired rights or those under analysis.
