Liberal Initiative Proposes Portuguese Constitutional Revision

Antena 1 RTP HLS Lisbon 17d7d Impact 5

CDS Deputy João Almeida has called for courage and decisive action regarding Portugal's political direction, questioning the current hesitation to review the Constitution. She argued that parents should not be forced to deal with unnecessary bureaucracy when a child falls ill. The deputy also called for the state to better recognize the financial burden of child-rearing expenses. André Ventura announced plans to present a constitutional revision project this Thursday. The proposal aims to remove ideological content from the Portuguese Constitution. Key topics for the reform include life imprisonment and chemical castration for pedophiles. Ventura also seeks justice reform and the depoliticization of public administration to reduce party-affiliated appointments. The project was introduced via a resolution by the IRMEX association.

The call suggests that certain constitutional elements established in the 1970s are no longer relevant. The group has established a 30-day deadline to complete the proposal. The initiative aims to establish private property as a fundamental right and revise the entire economic constitution. This decision follows an announcement made by the Chega party.
