Foreigners may lose residency. PS speaks of intimidation

Immigrants causing disturbances during housing protests in Portugal risk losing their residency permits. The government clarified that actions threatening public order could lead to permit cancellations, managed by AIMA based on police reports. This was discussed during a parliamentary session where concerns about potential deportations were raised. The Secretary of State for Immigration emphasized that while the right to protest is protected, violations of public order could result in administrative actions against immigrants. Critics argue this approach undermines legal protections and could intimidate migrant communities. The law allows for residency permits to be revoked for vague reasons related to public order, raising concerns about fairness and due process.
