I only hope that Valanka Alemao reads various inputs provided by Goanet members in connection with a claim made by Micky that Allen de Sa holds dual citizenship. These inputs should definitely help her to take future course of action against Caitu!!
Best regards, U. G. Barad Various views expressed in Goanet by members on the issue: Date: Sun, 23 Sep 2012 12:09:08 +0100 (BST) From: Bernado Colaco <[email protected] Subject: [Goanet] Allen de Sa holds dual citizenship: Mickky Even Manohara Parricar is a de facto Portuguese, except for Fred Noronha a defacto carioca. Goans are brainwashed into terms as 'liberation' and 'independence day not knowing that they are a part of Portugal. Now many are turning to our former administrators because of the need be,as those leaflets from Libia Lobo Sardessai did not help for anything. BC It is a little known fact that all Goans born in Goa prior to 19 Dec 1961, are de-facto Portuguese citizens, and their citizenship has not been "lost" as a result of Indians forcing their citizenship on to Goans. Those Goans, except those who were then in Govt service and forced to revoke their nationality (which is why many of them left Goa, except for Pe. Chico Monteiro), are still passive Portuguese citizens. Allen de Sawas my contemporary at Dhempe's, therefore he would be one of those Goans born prior to 19 Dec 1961, and consequently, still a de-facto Portuguese citizen. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think enrolment in Govt service means a revoking of Portuguese nationality, unless he specifically signed a document to that effect. Gabriel.

Those born in Goi before 1961 are all P*rtuguese citizens and once Endia 'invaded' (they were not invited!), Goichis were "naturalized" Endian citizens (by default). Goa, D& D are the only Por*** colonies offering citizenship if not mistaken....and there is a reason for that....either the case (now withdrawn) at the UN and something in the Por*** constitution (forget which).

Colaco < jc" <[email protected] Subject: Re: [Goanet] Allen de Sa holds dual citizenship: Mickky COMMENT: a: Portuguese citizenship was NOT lost by Goans specifically because Portugal NEVER gave independence to Goa. As a result, Portugal had to accord citizenship to Goans who reaffirmed (by way of Autodeclarao) their Portuguese nationality; it was, after all, their RIGHT. (exceptions: Goans who lived in Portuguese Africa when Independence was given to those territories but who did not opt to retain their Portuguese nationality) b: An individual's being a 'carioca' or a native of Rio de Jameiro does NOT necessarily exclude that person from being a 'de facto Portugus", unless he/she has specifically renounced Portuguese nationality. Remember that Portuguese nationality is conferred across 3 generations. So ..... Also, a Brazilian born individual can (to the best of my knowledge) lose Brazilian nationality ONLY when he/she renounces it. Until that occurs, the individual remains a Brazilian national. In the case at hand, Micky contends that Allen has Portuguese citizenship, while Allen states that he does NOT have a Portuguese passport. So, UNLESS Allen has at least made an "Autodeclarao", both Micky and Allen may be right, That having been noted, anybody smell a RAT ....here jc
