Immigrant Welcome Center: Legalization Process in Portugal

The building located in the parish of Campanário, in Ribeira Brava, which hosts between 50 and 60 immigrants, is currently in the process of legalization. The guarantee was given by the mayor, Ricardo Nascimento, following statements by Miguel Albuquerque, who, asked about the subject, referred the answer to the local mayor.

“The owners of the building are in a process of legalization process. The surveys we perform allow us to say, based on the reports we have, that people have good habitability conditions,” said Ricardo Nascimento, noting that the situation has been closely monitored by camarage services.

The edil explained that, at this moment, the municipality awaits the term of the process of legalization of the building to subsequently follow the total regularization of the situation. “We are waiting for the end of the legalization process to follow this situation. The reality is that the building is not yet legalized, but the process is taking place for this to happen,” he said.

Nascimento also stressed that all workers are hosted there are hired and inserted in the local labor market, responding to the high demand for labor that is currently verified in the region. “All who are there have a employment contract. The market is in need of these people. Sometimes, in politics, those who have their positions have to have common sense in these issues and realize reality,” he added.

The mayor admitted that the situation is not ideal, but reaffirmed the commitment to follow the process until legalization is completed. “We know what legality is, we know what illegality is, and that’s what we are dealing with: transforming an irregular situation into a legal situation,” he said.

This is a theme that the diary has already followed in previous editions, accounting for the conditions of the property and the ongoing process for its regularization.
