The ADN party published an extensive statement in which it defends the rights of PSP agents. The publication came after three days of visiting Madeira, where the Minister of Internal Administration reportedly acknowledged that Portugal faces the consequences of "decades of underinvestment" in the security forces.
According to ADN Madeira, what is missing to recognize is who has borne a large part of that bill. The party understands that this responsibility falls on the police officers themselves, who have been working in unfavorable conditions due to the lack of public investment.
The ADN statement comes at a time when the state of the security forces in Portugal is being discussed. The party used the minister's visit to the autonomous region to reinforce its position on the need for better conditions for PSP agents.
The article was cut off, but the central message of ADN is clear: police officers are the ones who suffer the most from the lack of resources and investment in the security forces, and this situation needs to be recognized and corrected.
