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

The recent resignation of Portugal's Prime Minister could bring political instability and affect the pace of voting on bills in Parliament. However, it is important to highlight that Portuguese nationality processes remain unchanged and continue to be analyzed in accordance with current legislation. Read the full article on here.
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.
For those who are evaluating the possibility of obtaining Portuguese nationality, especially through the Sephardic route, this is a strategic moment to act with legal certainty.
