What if Abramovich wants to run in this Assembly election and become the Prime Minister of Portugal? Or if he wants to finance the party he wants, will his campaign have millions? True, you can. “Finally he found a country that could pay some bribes and made some semi-official and official payments to enter the EU and NATO. Portuguese officials carry suitcases with money (…) The perfect cycle of hypocrisy and corruption.” . It is questionable whether Abramovich is now a Portuguese citizen. With a fortune of about 12.9 billion euros, the Russian millionaire became a Portuguese. Despite years of trying to stay abroad or get permission from others, the Chancellor has not succeeded. The UK has not renewed his investor-residence visa. Switzerland, known for welcoming millionaires, did not ask any questions and did not close the door on him because of allegations of money laundering and his alleged involvement in criminal activities. But Portugal did not care about the details and solved the problem.
A few years ago, the law was unanimously approved, which for reasons of correcting historical memory, 500 years ago L-ray d. Manuel I allows the descendants of Sebardian Jews expelled from Portugal to obtain Portuguese nationality. Other species or groups were fortunately not thought of. Forward. After a short time, it was realized that such a possibility was already the subject of great negotiations with tens of thousands of beneficiaries. The same thing happened in Spain, which soon adopted very strict control and transparency procedures. The PCP only supported one legislative change. The other parties do not want to know.
Currently, more than 90% of the cases come from the same Jewish community in Porto. Even those who qualify for “allocations” from the IRN will be recognized by the government, and the usual contempt for disagreements and conflicts of interest persists – Jewish communities receive millionaire donations from candidates, and then they attest to dubious saber-rattan sources (for no apparent reason.) In other words, if the law aims to correct injustices, it has created a huge new injustice, especially considering the thousands of citizens who live, work, pay taxes and are not considered Portuguese in Portugal. In other words, a contract was set up with a well-intentioned law (was it really there?) Without oversight.
Is there a system of granting nationality represented by the state to private companies that accept sponsorship in exchange for ideas? What kind of country is ours? Is the corruption of the residence visa, the residence permit (which could result in citizenship) not enough for those who make substantial investments here without knowing where the money is coming from? Here is a true self-portrait of our depravity: like a Portuguese national, other consumer goods, like a pair of trousers or a nail clipper, it is traded as a commodity. Oh, the Portuguese. Brave.
