Hate crimes up but pace of increase slows in 2023
Hate crimes increased in Portugal in 2019 and 2020, coinciding with the pandemic, and in the following years the increase continued, but in a more attenuated way, reveals the Annual Internal Security Report (RASI).

The document, delivered today by the Government to the Assembly of the Republic, states that "the majority of the reported cases [classified as hate crimes] occurred in a digital environment".
In the same chapter, dedicated to the crime of terrorism, the RASI considers that up until October of last year the level of the terrorist threat pending over Portugal continued to be moderate, (corresponding to level 4, based on a scale of decreasing criteria between level 1 - considered critical or immediate - and level 5 - classified as reduced or low).
However, with the attack carried out by the Palestinian group Hamas in October and Israel's response, there is a "greater complexity of the terrorist threat of an Islamist matrix in Europe", and the Secretary-General of the Internal Security System decided, on 20 October 2023, "to increase the generic level of the terrorist threat to level 3, classified as significant".
Despite the level of threat having risen, the RASI for 2023 states that "there were no concrete indications that point to the development of terrorist actions in national territory".
The Judiciary Police, through the National Counterterrorism Unit, "does not fail to monitor the evolution of the situation related to terrorism and ideological extremism", states the report.
The threat of the phenomena of radicalisation, (violent) extremism and terrorism "remains at a similar level to previous years in the majority of the Member States of the European Union", it states.
In 2023, the PJ and the PSP participated in various actions and signalling of 'online' radical, violent extremist and terrorist content in coordination with units from countries of the European Union.
"Despite the effectiveness of these actions in removing extremist and terrorist content 'online', the dissemination of this type of propaganda by individuals and terrorist organisations continues to be a challenge, and therefore it is necessary to continue to strengthen international cooperation, as well as the tools and strategies to tackle the dissemination of 'online' propaganda by terrorist agents", states the document.
