Recently, Portuguese Deputy Prime Minister Paulo Portas made a statement in Parliament regarding individual officials' corruption cases: Given the economic and employment growth benefits brought by the Golden Residence Policy to Portugal, there will be no wavering due to this incident; on the contrary, it will make the Golden Residence Policy even better.
Deputy Prime Minister Paulo Portas affirmed the private investments brought by the Golden Residence Policy, believing that it greatly promotes the country's economic recovery and employment enhancement. At the beginning of his speech, he stated that he cannot, should not, and does not know how to comment on the judicial investigation of the case. Portugal is a highly law-abiding society, and the law will fulfill its responsibilities; no one can rise above the law to refuse to combat power abuse and adopt a lenient attitude towards illegal activities.
"As of now, the Golden Residence Policy has successfully attracted foreign investors with investments of 1.107 billion euros. In the next two years, we will directly receive 105 million euros in taxes from these foreign investors. Portas stated that this Golden Residence Policy has significantly stimulated Portugal's real estate market, thereby promoting national economic recovery and prosperity. Portas said: "If we were to halt the Golden Residence Policy as the PCP (opposition party) wishes, it would undoubtedly be a huge mistake. At the same time, Portas refuted recent false rumors: The Golden Residence Policy is not a hotbed for money laundering. No Golden Residence Card has been obtained through large cash transactions; all transfer remittance transactions must be certified. Banks are required to provide detailed check numbers, bank account numbers, and identification; the entire process has strict requirements.
