Please try to understand, before the pandemic there were four times fewer homeless people in Lisbon, crime was low, refugees and illegal immigrants arriving in Europe by boat, In recent years, almost a million Brazilians have arrived in Portugal and many have not been able to succeed and were left homeless. Crime and the drug comsumption is increasing and skyrocket and many say it is due to the completely open door policy and mass immigration. What's more, the thousands of Expats and Digital Nomads who went to Lisbon with better salaries, sent many people to the streets and others to the suburbs. I think it's fair to say that the people you saw in the city center selling flour and pressed rosemary are Gypsies and they are only there because tourists buy , the day they stop buying, they will disappear. And the pickpockets on Tram 28 are almost all Romanians and Moldovans. I'm sorry, but it's the truth!!! I can tell you some cities with more homeless people, Paris, Rome, London, Athens, Naples, among others, It's a trend, unfortunately.
@@uncagedseekers now a days with extreme right parties rising up, everything is immigrants fault. But if u care to see real statistics thats not quite like that
