Chega Party Seeks Constitutional Revision In Portugal

Liberal party members are calling for the urgent regulation of the surrogacy law in Portugal. The law was approved and promulgated in the Diário da República in 2021, but has not yet been effectively implemented. Proponents argue the measure is a matter of fiscal justice and part of a broader response to national demographic issues. The group is also discussing family cohesion in relation to IRS tax benefits. The Liberal Initiative announced this afternoon that a constitutional revision project will be presented within 30 days. The proposal aims to elevate private property to a fundamental right and review the entire economic constitution. Additionally, the group seeks to address individual rights in relation to emerging artificial intelligence technologies. The Iniciativa Liberal party in Portugal plans to present a proposal for constitutional revision. Key priorities include elevating private property to a fundamental right and addressing structural distrust of the market. The party also intends to reflect on the effects of artificial intelligence on civil liberties and guarantees. The announcement was made during statements to journalists.
