Carlos Coelho

Carlos Coelho is a prominent Portuguese politician and vice-president of the Social Democratic Party (PSD). He has been actively involved in national politics, particularly focusing on issues related to immigration and security. In a recent statement, Coelho criticized the Socialist Party (PS) for its management of immigration policies, alleging that it compromised national security by allowing a significant number of immigrants to enter without proper criminal record checks. He advocates for a balanced approach to immigration that includes both the regulation of legal immigration and the combatting of irregular immigration. His comments reflect broader political debates in Portugal regarding immigration policies and their implications for national safety.
