António Saraiva, president of the Portuguese Red Cross (CVP), stressed the essential role of immigration for Portugal but highlighted the need for clear economic immigration policies. He warned that the lack of such policies has led to refugees becoming homeless and called for stricter rules and criteria. Saraiva pointed out that the rising cost of living has exacerbated homelessness and criticized the abrupt end of previous immigration initiatives, advocating for a more structured approach to immigration to ensure better integration and support for vulnerable populations.
