Questão jurídica principal
Whether the municipal assembly's refusal of naturalization was sufficiently reasoned under Article 29(2) BV.
Decisão extraída
The refusal was not supported by a legally sufficient reasoned basis; the brief and personal remarks at the assembly did not disclose reviewable grounds for denial.
Fundamentação extraída
When a communal body denies naturalization contrary to the municipal executive's favorable proposal, the reasons must emerge from the debate. Here the comments were vague, personal, and did not amount to generalized objections to naturalization; a later justification could hardly be reconstructed.
