PSP alerted to an increase in illegal immigrants arriving in Portugal by train and bus, in a phenomenon that, although not entirely new, has been intensifying. The Portuguese police identified these secondary movements as a growing trend that has concerned the authorities.
According to what was reported, these migratory flows through land transport represent an operational challenge for security forces. The situation is not considered recent, but the numbers have been rising significantly.
Police authorities emphasized that secondary movements relative to Portugal have increased, suggesting a possible rerouting of migratory routes to Portuguese territory. This phenomenon is part of a broader context of irregular migration in Europe.
