The article addresses the perception of insecurity in Lisbon, arguing that it does not arise out of thin air, but rather from concrete experiences lived by citizens and visitors.
The text presents two concrete examples that illustrate how this perception is formed in the city. The first refers to people smoking crack at two in the afternoon on the stairs of a park, a situation that, according to the article, contributes to the feeling of insecurity.
The second example mentioned is that of a tourist who was reportedly hit by a stray bullet in the Baixa area, in the centre of Lisbon.
The article suggests that the perception of insecurity in Lisbon is linked to these types of visible occurrences in public spaces, which mark the experience of those who live in or visit the city.
