Chegi President André Ventura will summon Interior Minister Margarida Blasco to parliament so that a government official can explain the attacks on Algerian and Moroccan immigrants that took place in Porto. The information was announced this Sunday by Ventura at a press conference.
For what CM It has been established that the brutal attacks on citizens that occurred in the early hours of Friday may have been motivated by a wave of robberies that have occurred in recent weeks at Campo 24 de Agosto in Porto. Many residents and traders in the Bonfim Parish area point fingers at these immigrants, who tend to stay in groups, scaring everyone and everything.
For Andre Ventura, it is important to understand the side of the store owners and merchants who are victims of these robberies.
On Saturday, the Home Office condemned the attacks and said there was “zero tolerance for racism.” “This notorious attack carried out this evening against migrant citizens is unacceptable, this kind of behavior is unacceptable,” said Margarida Blasco, adding that the attack “does not represent the interests of the Portuguese people and the Portuguese do not support this kind of attack.”
The organization SOS Racismo published a note explaining that in recent days in Porto an organized group has carried out racist attacks against immigrants living in the city, a situation that has forced several people to undergo treatment in hospital.
“In recent days, an organized group of people formed a militia that invaded houses and attacked immigrants in the city of Porto. Using sticks, sticks and knives, the group beat several immigrants in their homes. The attacks were planned and properly orchestrated to spread terror and target the largest number of immigrants. Homes were destroyed and several people had to undergo hospital treatment,” the press release said.
