Portugal is not under migratory pressure, says the annual report of the Commission on migrations and asylum
Portugal is not facing migratory pressure, according to the annual report on migration and asylum. Most exit orders were issued to citizens from Brazil, India, and Angola. The country has 68,310 beneficiaries of temporary protection, primarily due to the Ukraine war. Despite not being under pressure, Portugal contributed €8.44 million to the EU solidarity fund instead of accepting 420 asylum seekers. The report highlights a decrease in illegal migration and asylum requests across the EU, with a significant drop in irregular movements. The new Euroduct database is aiding in preventing abuses and enhancing control over migration.
