“We are concerned about what our legislators in Parliament have called a security emergency, and about the lack of a plan from the Ministry of the Interior,” Pereira said.
He added: “As a progressive political party we want to reach out again to the government so that if it sees a possibility of dialogue on issues that are difficult to resolve, such as insecurity, it will be at your service.”
