On Monday, the PKP general secretary said the government’s migration plan will lead to an increase in illegal immigration and will not respond to the upcoming regularization processes, and announced that the party will present a diploma to strengthen AIMA.
Speaking to reporters at the book fair, Paulo Raimundo noted that the plan is “the same as those presented by the government.”
“As for specific, pressing problems, there is little or nothing. And as for fundamental issues, these are decisions for later,” he criticized.
The PKP leader said there are now 400,000 immigrants who need to be regularized who “will not see their problem solved by the 41 measures the government has introduced today to supposedly respond to this immigration problem.”
On the other hand, Paulo Raimundo criticized the fact that the executive also seeks to “limit legal immigration”, which he believes will “make a decisive contribution to ending the problem in its hands”, referring to the increase in illegal immigration leaving more people at the mercy of “human trafficking.”
Following this, Paulo Raimundo also criticized the measures planned by the Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (AIMA), considering that the government’s plan only reflects intentions and reacts “very little” to urgent measures.
“This places an even greater responsibility on the PCP as we are about to present a project with concrete measures,” he said, given that AIMA is currently facing a problem related to the lack of human resources.
“Therefore, it is necessary to back up with resources, direct human resources. We need to respond to the 400 thousand lives we’re talking about, people who are legally in our country and cannot resume their lives. documents to continue working here and earning money while contributing to the country’s production,” he said.
When asked if he did not agree with the creation of a department for foreigners and borders in the PSP, Paulo Raimundo replied: “These are all very important measures, but all this is a long-term problem.”
“That’s not the question. The question is what measures are being taken now, and we had a government that had an extraordinary ability, that is, under the pretext of specific problems of everyday life, these are statements, intentions and concrete measures in the service of economic groups: this was the case in the field of health care, housing, measures for youth and now immigration,” he said.
