The Lisbon Municipal Assembly advocated strengthening security in the city, but without falling into alarmism. This position arose in a meeting where the need to increase the number of police in Lisbon was discussed.
The president of the Lisbon City Council, Carlos Moedas, from PSD, was absent from the session. In his place, Vice-President Gonçalo Reis, also from PSD, took the floor to address the security issue.
Gonçalo Reis emphasized the demand for more police in Lisbon and guaranteed that the municipal executive will not rest until this situation is resolved. The vice-president also stated that there is willingness to provide financial resources to strengthen security.
In addition to the request for more police forces, the executive mentioned the investment already made in public lighting, video surveillance, and night watchmen as complementary measures to improve security in the city.
