PSP Operation Checks Legality Of Shops And Individuals In Martim Moniz, Lisbon

Published on

The Metropolitan Command of Lisbon’s PSP (Public Security Police) conducted a significant operation on Friday morning in Martim Moniz, Lisbon, aimed at verifying the legality of commercial establishments and individuals in the area. This operation is part of a broader initiative to combat illegal immigration and ensure compliance with national laws.

Purpose Of The Operation

The primary goal of the operation in Martim Moniz is to ensure that all businesses and individuals are operating legally within Portugal. The PSP emphasized the importance of maintaining law and order, particularly in areas with high immigrant populations, where illegal activities may be more prevalent.

The Minister of the Presidency, António Leitão Amaro, highlighted the government’s commitment to enforcing immigration laws. He stated that those found to be in the country illegally would face consequences, including potential removal from the country. The minister expressed hope that such operations would deter individuals from attempting to enter Portugal illegally.

Collaboration With Other Authorities

The operation was not solely conducted by the PSP. It involved collaboration with several other authorities:

  • ASAE: Responsible for food safety and economic regulation.
  • Tax Authority: Ensures compliance with tax laws.
  • Authority for Labor Conditions and Social Security: Monitors labor rights and conditions.

This multi-agency approach aims to address various aspects of legality, from business operations to individual residency status.

The operation in Martim Moniz is just one of many planned by the government. The Minister indicated that further operations would continue to be scheduled, focusing on areas where illegal activities are suspected. The government is keen on ensuring that those who exploit vulnerable populations are held accountable.
