Should immigrants to Portugal be allowed to hold dual citizenship status?
Multiple citizenship, also called dual citizenship is a person's citizenship status, in which a person is concurrently regarded as a citizen of more than one state under the laws of those states. There is no international convention which determines the nationality or citizen status of a person, which is defined exclusively by national laws, which vary and can be inconsistent with each other. Some countries do not permit dual citizenship. Most countries that permit dual citizenship still may not recognize the other citizenship of its nationals within its own territory, for example, in relation to entry into the country, national service, duty to vote, etc.

Yes, but ONLY for the ones who are directly descended from the Portuguese people - jus sanguinis concept for citizenship - or have made significant services to the nation.
@9HJ2G9J1yr1Y
Only if the other citizenship from a country that is democratic and advanced and upholds humens rights
