Coronavirus: Portugal grants temporary citizenship rights to migrants

Good morning everyone!

I was reading an article the other day on the Internet on “Euronews.com” and it talks about the temporary citizenship to migrants, which Portugal has granted.

As I am preparing well for my A-level exam, I decided to talk about migration because it is an essential topic for our exam.

I thought you might be interested because it is a topic which affects us all and we currently need to accept compromises.

Basically, what it says is that the government of Portugal is granting citizenship to all migrants and asylum seekers, who have residency applications underway.

The reason for this is to ensure social security and health care during the virus spread.

It is also said that the people who have been applying for citizenship will be granted citizenship right until at least July 1.

What surprised me most was that the army is distributing food to the homeless. I consider this as very cooperative and polite.

As for me I think it is a great offer from the government because we really need to stick together in this terrible situation.

I live in Austria and most people are following the government requirements. The more we stick to it, the faster it will be over.

What do you think about this topic? What does your country against the virus spread? I am highly interested in it, so let me know about it in the comment section.

Thank you for reading!

Yours

Kristina
