Association. PSP agent who denounced racism brought together MAI, judges, police and Ana Gomes

“Manuel Morais is an example of the attitude that should be expected of a policeman in a democratic society. I am here because I was challenged by him”, assumed Ana Gomes, the former MEP of the PS and human rights activist, in her short speech, this Tuesday, at the ceremony that marked the inauguration of the Observatório da Criança – 100 Violência headquarters, an association that promotes the fight and prevention of child abuse.

The event was marked mainly by the political and public weight of many personalities present, in a clear sign of support for this initiative that has as main engine this ex-unionist of the PSP – who became known to have warned of racism in the police. Manuel Morais, remember, is currently subject of a disciplinary inquiry for criticizing André Ventura and was removed from the biggest union, where he was a leader for over 30 years, due to his public complaints.

On the ‘table of honor’, alongside Ana Gomes, were, in addition to Manuel Morais himself, an agent of the PSP Intervention Corps, the Minister of Internal Administration, Eduardo Cabrita, the former minister of the same tutelage, Rui Pereira, who he is the honorary president of the association, the Secretary of State for Justice, Mário Morgado (who replaced Minister Francisca Van Dunem) and the retired adviser judge, Bernardo Colaço, who is also part of the Observatory. There was also a place marked for Cabrita’s predecessor, the former minister and now deputy Constança Urbano de Sousa, who never came.
