Portugal is facing a tough challenge as thousands of migrants struggle with endless bureaucratic delays. One such story is that of Mosan Hassan, 42, who left Pakistan a year ago with hopes of a better future. Despite filing for legal residency, finding work in agriculture, and paying his taxes, Hassan remains undocumented and lives in constant fear. 😟
"We are also humans. We follow the rules, pay our taxes and tickets. But people hit us with hate," Hassan shared, voicing the frustration of nearly half a million immigrants stuck in legal limbo beyond the official 90-day deadline. His words reflect a wider struggle where dedication and hard work often go unrecognized.
This issue comes at a time when Portugal's center-right coalition government has re-taken office after a period of political instability. For young, tech-savvy readers in South and Southeast Asia, facing your own everyday challenges, this story serves as a reminder of the importance of fair policies and respect for everyone's rights. Let's keep the conversation alive and work together for a more understanding and inclusive world. 🌏✊
