The Minister of Internal Administration admitted this Friday, March 27, that the attack with an explosive device against participants in the March for Life, on Saturday, in Lisbon, could be considered “a crime of a terrorist nature”.
“It is the execution of a hate crime. In my opinion, and I will say so because I was director of a counterterrorism unit for almost 12 years and I was national director of a police force that investigates these crimes, we could be facing a crime of a terrorist nature”, Luís Neves told journalists, at the end of the ceremony that marked 50 years of the PSP Intervention Corps.
The minister maintained that the Government “does not accept actions of this type” and “across the board repudiates all this type of act” in which a man threw an incendiary object, of the ‘Molotov cocktail’ type, which ended up not exploding, at the participants of the March for Life, which brought together around 500 people last Saturday in Lisbon.
