André Ventura, leader of the far-right Chega party, claims that 20% of Portugal's prisoners are foreigners, linking immigration to crime. However, official reports indicate that 83.3% of prisoners are Portuguese. Ventura also mentioned an increase in rapes, attributing many to immigrants, despite data showing that the majority of rapes are committed by Portuguese nationals. While the number of foreigners in Portugal has increased, crime rates for certain offenses have decreased, suggesting no direct correlation between immigration and crime. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
