The national director of the PSP, Manuel Magina da Silva, was received this Sunday by the President of the Republic, after having revealed to journalists that he was proposing to Marcelo a reorganization of the police that includes the extinction of the PSP and the SEF, merging the two forces in a “national police”. “.
Magina da Silva admitted that they are working on the merger of the PSP with the Foreign and Borders Service (SEF) and that she discussed the issue with the President of the Republic.
What has been announced and has been worked on with the Ministry of the Interior will not go through absorption, but through the merger between PSP and SEF “, said Magina da Silva, after a meeting with the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, at the Belém Palace, after days of controversy over the death of a Ukrainian citizen at the SEF facilities at Lisbon airport, in March.
The director of the PSP said that he “proposed, very directly,” and that he discussed the matter “with the President,” that the PSP be extinguished and the SEF be extinguished.
And a national police appears, as, by the way, in Spain, France and Italy “, described.
Hours later, the Interior Minister said that the planned reform in the Foreigners and Borders Service (SEF) will be announced “appropriately” by the government “and not by a police director.”
Responding later in a statement to the minister’s statements, the national leadership of the PSP clarified that the statements made this Sunday by the director on a restructuring of the Foreigners and Borders Service (SEF) were only a “personal look” that did not intend to condition any restructuring.
The national director of the PSP “only presented his personal vision of the ongoing restructuring, which obviously does not affect the joint work underway between the Security Forces and Services and the government’s decision,” the statement read.
This Sunday, the President of the Government, António Costa, avoided talking about the matter and referred this issue for later.
Yesterday TVI said that the extinction of the SEF was being considered. Guardian source confirmed to TVI that the process was prepared by the Government with the approval of Belém and that, in the limit, a new body can be created that will be in charge of granting visas, residence permits and asylum applications. The same source admitted that the process was accelerated by the death of Ihor Homeniuk.
Sadness and pride “for the death of an agent in Évora
The national director of the Public Security Police (PSP) also affirmed that “it is a day of sadness and pride” due to the death of an agent in Évora, when he was helping a woman victim of domestic violence.
For PSP, it is a day of sadness and pride. Sadness because one of us fell on the mission. Out of pride, because he was a policeman who was off duty but because of his vocation he intervened to defend a citizen ”., said.
Magina da Silva said she had already spoken with the agent’s wife, who was run over, “apparently intentionally.”
The director of the national police refused to comment further on the case, that is, whether he was a repeat offender or not.
The President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, regretted the death of the agent of the District Command of the PSP of Évora, victim of being run over after a police intervention, having already expressed his condolences to the widow.
This PSP agent in Évora died this morning at the local hospital after being run over by a car driven by a suspect of domestic violence, who fled and has since been detained, revealed the National Police Command.

The person detained by the GNR, suspected of the fatal blow, is a 52-year-old prison guard from the Sintra Penitentiary Center (EP), the Guard revealed to the Lusa agency today.
