After a meeting with the Minister of the Presidency, Paulo Muacho defended the “strengthening of human and technical resources”, namely interpreters to deal with the demand for immigrants and the waiting lines for services.

In what was the government's last meeting with parliamentary groups to hear proposals on migration policy, Livre showed itself willing to collaborate, as long as the principles it defends are accepted.

“We will await the results of these consultations from the government,” said the deputy, who said he expected the executive to hold meetings with Non-Governmental Organizations, including associations defending immigrants and minority rights.

In parallel, “joint work with local authorities in the integration of immigrants” is necessary, added the deputy, who reaffirmed his opposition to the European pact on migration and asylum.

Livre considers that the pact has policies that are wrong, “often inhumane and even cruel”, said Muacho, who defended search and rescue policies in the Mediterranean and the creation of “an international humanitarian passport” that provides faster support to refugees.
