PSP Lisboa wants "less alarmist speeches" on security

The chief superintendent of PSP Lisboa, Luís Elias, publicly defended the need to reduce alarmist speeches about public security. In an interview with the news agency Lusíada, the police official stated that security issues should be addressed essentially with practical work, instead of being amplified through public statements. This position comes at a time when the theme of security in Lisbon has been frequently debated publicly. Luís Elias thus sought to convey a message of calm, prioritizing operational action over statements that may generate alarm in the population.
