Portugal breaks records for cocaine seizures. The Navy and security forces do their job and are internationally recognized. But there are those who can look at the success of the operations and find… a failure. Extraordinary. (translated)
No. What happened in Ceuta cannot be normalized. An external border of the EU cannot be subjected to mass entries and the response of a Prime Minister cannot be to ask the population to get used to it. We will not accept the indulgence of a government that turns the loss of control of (translated)
Als 'even omrijden' het enige offer is om te voorkomen dat toekomstige generaties 'doodgaan vanwege het klimaat', is het moreel verwerpelijk dat politiek en politie activisten criminaliseren in plaats van te luisteren, de echte oorzaken aan te pakken en in dialoog te gaan over noodzakelijke klimaatactie.

Consequences of a migration policy that normalizes illegality, fuels the pull effect, and pretends that borders were an outdated concept. They called it humanity. Every concession to illegal immigration, every message of impunity, every denial of the pull effect. (translated)

The data from the INE does not reveal any secrets; they merely confirm what any honest person has seen for years and what was forbidden to say out loud. Immigration should serve Portugal and respect those who arrive, and the PS model did neither one nor the other. (translated)
My interview with the newspaper @SolOnline, about the migration and asylum pact, illegal immigration and returns, the mass regularization of immigrants in Spain, and the increase of the foreign population in Portugal. @_CDSPP @goncalonabeiro (translated)
Housing, health, and salaries that the PS invokes today do not live in a parallel universe to the immigration policy of recent years. They are the same equation.
