POLICE SLEEPS AS HOMELESS IN THE CITY OF PORTO

According to the newspaper (Jornal De Noticias), it was with surprise and anger that about 50 agents of the 16th Fleet PSP (police) of Porto the second biggest city of Portugal saw the six beds that use to be used to rest, Thursday the beds had disappeared from higher order.

Now, they are forced to sleep on the floor, on card board. To make matters worse, the police fear that the new fleet of Vilarinha does not have dormitory and beds.

The facilities of Aldoar station, at Rua do Pinheiro Manso, have long been in disrepair, but until Thursday, the agents could still count on half a dozen of beds to rest at the end of turn. Without any comfort, the officers sleep as they can: on cardboard boxes and in sleeping bags.

"It's too bad," said union source to JN. "There is great anger among men because they feel they are being wronged," he said. "The facilities no longer had the minimum conditions of comfort and still make you this."

According to the Metropolitan Command, "the space in question did not fulfill conditions to be used as a dormitory, so the stuff that was in there was removed." The same source adds that "has vacancies in its dormitory located in Bela Vista installations" in S. Roque, Campanhã.

Within three to four months, the new station, the old school Vilarinha, should be ready. However, among men it runs the rumor that the facilities will have neither dormitory nor beds. "If this is true, men will have to always go to Bela Vista," complains the union. "In addition to having to move away, the wards are almost always full because host very large contingent".

The move to Vilarinha means that, finally, the 16^th fleet will stay in its area of jurisdiction: Aldoar and Nevogilde. It is recalled that a few decades that the station is in Ramalde, an area that is served by the 18th, currently installed in Viso Neighborhood.

SHAMEFUL-only in Portugal!
