- “You can only sleep with medicine”: Brazilians live a dramatic experience after a child mutilated his fingers in Portugal
- “They are inhuman”: The Brazilian who mutilated his fingers in Portugal changes his school
In February, activist Juliette Cristino, who was at the head of the mobilization, defended her proposal to strengthen policing in the country’s schools in Portugal’s parliament.
The mobilization began after another violent attack on the Brazilian student, as reported by the Portuguese newspaper Giro.
In February, the Public Security Police (PSP) Safe Schools Program submitted a report revealing 4,107 violent incidents in the 2023/2024 school year. An increase of 7.4%.
The mother of two and founder of the Portuguese Migrants Committee, created a petition that reached the number of signatures required to move it for discussion in Parliament
Along the way, a crisis brought down the government and delayed decision-making on further policing after May elections, in which the Democratic Alliance retained power.
– Let us insist, yes. Juliet said: I will request a meeting in Parliament to resolve this issue, which has been postponed until after the elections.
For her, if there were more police, Brazilian boy Jose’s fingers would not be mutilated. Or it would be easier to investigate the case, because the project you are proposing includes cameras inside schools.
She said: If the school had police, the case of the Brazilian child would not have happened.
The project, which he presented alongside lawyer Elaine Linhars, proposes the following topics:
- Internal and external surveillance cameras
- Access images in real time
- 24-hour police (during classes and to prevent theft when schools are closed)
- Traffic signals and radars are 30 meters away from pedestrian crossings
