Hundreds of people spent the night in front of AIMA, the Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum, in order to get a service ticket. It is a daily struggle for 300 available tickets, a number that clearly does not meet the existing demand.
In the early hours of the morning, the line was already going around the block, revealing the extent of the problem. Many wait for hours or even all night, with no guarantee of being seen.
TVI journalist Emanuel Monteiro heard the complaints of those who despair for a response from the State. People report difficulties and anguish faced with the scarcity of available service.
The situation illustrates the overload faced by AIMA, with citizens risking sleeping on the street to secure a place in line and the possibility of getting a response to their needs.
