Parliament Approves Inclusion of Nationality in the RASI
This Wednesday, the Portuguese Parliament approved, in general terms, the resolution project from the Liberal Initiative (IL) to include the nationality of criminals and victims in the Annual Internal Security Report (RASI). This decision was made against the wishes of the left, as the Socialist Party (PS), Left Bloc, PCP, Livre, and PAN all voted against it. The right, with support from PSD, CDS, Chega, IL, and an independent deputy, facilitated this initiative.
This move has sparked significant debate across the political spectrum, as the left criticizes the decision, arguing it may lead to stigmatization and discrimination. The right, on the other hand, contends that understanding the nationality of offenders and victims is crucial for addressing crime effectively.
Key Points of the Debate:
- The inclusion of nationality in security reports has been a contentious issue.
- The left argues against potential discrimination.
- Supporters claim it will enhance understanding of crime dynamics in Portugal.
