The Prime Minister announced on Wednesday that the government wants to meet parliamentary groups next week to develop an action plan to tackle the problems raised by regularizing immigrants.
“It will be necessary to have an action plan that we will be able to present to parliament. I have already asked the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs and the Minister of the Presidency to begin a dialogue with parliamentary groups on this issue next week,” Luis Montenegro said this during the biweekly debate in Parliament.
The goal, he explained, is to collect donations to develop “an action plan to be implemented immediately that can resolve hundreds of thousands of accumulated debts and avoid further accumulations in the future.”
“Our goal is to continue to be a country that is welcoming and inclusive, but greater regulation and an end to the abuse of provisions contained in our legislation in this environment are needed to ensure dignity,” he said.
In the final part of the debate, in response to the words of the PSD parliamentary leader Hugo Soares, the Prime Minister said that the problems that exist this Wednesday in AIMA (Agency for Migration and Refugee Integration) are “delicate and deep.”
“No one likes to see the undignified conditions faced by many people who travel to the country to earn money,” he lamented, adding that the long queues and delays experienced at AIMA were creating anxiety and a sense of insecurity.
For Montenegro, the problems recorded in AIMA are “the result of several accumulated errors in border control and reception policies.”
