Nacionalidade portuguesa à venda (debate)(3) (em inglês)
Mr President, Mr Coelho suggested that I had knowingly misled this House.
This is not true, and I just wanted to say that any real estate agency should check what I said: namely that Portuguese nationality is obtained after five years of residence with a stay of 35 days in total, and that in six years, nationality can be granted.
If Commissioner Reding is so against it, please tell the Troika that this is the situation in Portugal and that they allowed this system to be implemented.
