"We have to be clear and serious in what we propose. We are not the ones saying that building infrastructures to close the EU borders is the solution to the migration problem. But there are those who say so. There are those who say that the only difference between the AD and the PPE is that some understand that these borders should be built with European money and others do not," said Marta Temido.
The former health minister was speaking in Castelo de Vide, in the district of Portalegre, where she went to present the Socialist Youth Manifesto for the European Elections.
"Everyone wants to put borders there, everyone wants to put walls there, everyone wants to put doors there. We do not have an unrealistic idea of migration either. We have a practical, pragmatic commitment to what is a humanist vision of migration," she summarized.
Marta Temido believes that there is a place and a need for Portugal to be a welcoming country, but she argues that it must be done "with quality and with access to all the rights that exist at the level of our social state".
