New provisions in nationality law cause "some discomfort," says Angolan President
"There is indeed some discomfort. Brazil has already had the courage to express this same discomfort. We haven't said anything so far, but it's clear that we're following the situation's developments very closely," said João Lourenço in an interview with TVI/CNN Portugal.
João Lourenço acknowledged Portugal 's sovereignty in immigration matters: "You only welcome into your home those you want. Portugal itself is a country of citizens who emigrate a lot, and that's not new."
"Therefore, the Portuguese emigrated all over the world and the least we demand is that Portugal not treat the immigrants who chose Portugal as a destination to make their lives worse than they were treated in the countries that welcomed them over the years," he stressed.
The Angolan President will make a three-day visit to Portugal at the end of this week.
