What's the potential impact of the 2025 Portuguese election on the Golden Visa program and pathway to citizenship?

The bill has been finalized by the committee with some minor changes, see redação final: 2025-11-05 from here: https://www.parlamento.pt/ActividadeParlamentar/Paginas/DetalheIniciativa.aspx?BID=315160

The most beneficial change since the parliament version seems that instead of requiring 10 years residence out of the last 10 years, it is now 10 years out of the last 12 years, which gives slightly more leeway for gaps.
