Isabel Moreira's Concerns on Police Actions

Isabel Moreira, a Socialist MP, has voiced her strong disapproval of the recent police operation in Martim Moniz, stating it violated fundamental principles such as proportionality, human dignity, and the presumption of innocence. She is among the signatories of a complaint against the PSP's actions, which is set to be submitted to the Ombudsman in January.

Criticism of Government Policies

In her statement, Moreira expressed deep concern about the broader context in which this police operation occurred. She accused Prime Minister António Costa of dismantling the social state and using the police as a political tool. Moreira also criticized the Social Democratic Party for adopting the far-right agenda, which she believes undermines the very essence of the Republic. This includes controversial measures such as restricting access to the National Health Service for immigrants lacking regular status.

These actions have sparked a heated debate about the direction of Portugal's social policies and the implications for its democratic values.
