The director of the Portuguese Catholic Service for Migration (OCPM), Eugenia Quaresma, criticized anti-immigration speeches that scapegoat migrants and the tendency to target those who are different.
Speaking to Lusa, Eugenia Quaresma referred to “anti-migration speeches, speeches that make migrants scapegoats” to emphasize that “the problem of migration is not quantitative, it is actually a problem of legal and safe routes, a political problem, a problem of the heart.”
The head of the OCPM, an organization of the Portuguese Episcopal Conference created in 1962, spoke about the national pilgrimage of migrants and refugees to the Sanctuary of Fatima, part of the international jubilee pilgrimage on August 12 and 13.
