The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa upheld the opposition to the acquisition of Portuguese nationality, ruling that the required link to the community must be real and effective rather than merely affective. The applicant argued for a formal connection, but the court emphasized the need for genuine integration. Consequently, the opposition was verified because the claimed link lacked the necessary substance.
