Repórter Sábado magazine conducted an infiltration investigation in Mouraria, a historic neighborhood in Lisbon, revealing a situation of severe security problems and urban degradation. The report shows a desperate local population, forced to coexist daily with drug dealers and users who dominate various areas of the neighborhood.
The signs of degradation multiply visibly in the streets of Mouraria, where residents report feeling like hostages in their own homes. The constant presence of illegal activities related to drug trafficking has become part of the neighborhood's daily life, affecting the quality of life and safety of its inhabitants.
The journalistic investigation exposes how the local community has been forced to adapt to this reality, facing daily contact with vendors and consumers of illicit substances. This situation reflects a broader problem of abandonment and lack of intervention by authorities in this traditional neighborhood of the Portuguese capital.
