Demonstration for migration

November 13, 2022 in Visual story, Documentary

Six years ago, on 13 November 2016, a demonstration took place in Lisbon in defence of the legalisation of the approximately 30,000 undocumented citizens that Solidariedade Imigrante-Associação para a Defesa dos Direitos dos Imigrantes estimates exist in Portugal. This initiative arose as a response to the worsening situation of the immigrant community which is confronted with the progressive closing of legalisation procedures, the accumulation of bureaucracy and the blocking of public services. Around two thousand immigrants attended the demonstration to demand the change of the immigration law that forces them to live in the country without a residence permit, despite working, making social security contributions and paying taxes.


No dia 13 de Novembro de 2016, decorreu em Lisboa a manifestação em defesa da legalização dos cerca de 30 mil cidadãos indocumentados que a Solidariedade Imigrante-Associação para a Defesa dos Direitos dos Imigrantes estima existirem em Portugal. Esta iniciativa surge como resposta ao agravar da situação da comunidade imigrante que se vê confrontada com o fecho progressivo da legalização, o acumular da burocracia e o bloqueio aos serviços públicos.
Cerca de dois mil imigrantes marcaram presença na manifestação a exigir a alteração da lei de imigração que os obriga a viverem no país sem autorização de residência, apesar de trabalharem, fazerem descontos para a segurança social e pagarem impostos.
No seguimento da convocação desta manifestação, o PNR marcou para o mesmo local um protesto, que tem como lema contra a "invasão de imigrantes, por uma justiça social para os portugueses”.
