A petition, launched ahead of today’s demonstration by immigrants in Porto with around 500 signatures, calls for coordination between various Portuguese organisations to create single procedures for all immigrants. “In view of the fragility of the system for providing services to foreign citizens, the danger of new abuses against this community, and the lack of respect for constitutional norms,” the petition calls for coordination between the following bodies: Portugal’s notary and registry office (IRN), the agency for integration, migration and asylum (AIMA, formerly SEF), the national health service and the higher education authority (DGES), “with a view to creating single procedures to be adopted in a generalised manner between bodies”.
