Victor Rosa, general coordinator of the Santa Casa da Misericordia de Paris (SCMP) reported Lusa two examples of Portuguese that the institution helped recently in Paris, as a worker who had gone to Belgium "with a promise of work and accommodation and when he reached the destination had neither one nor the other "and another person who spent two months working in the works without being able to leave the workplace.
"Modern Slavery is, for example, the individual who spent two months working in the works without being able to leave the space of the work. He was completely traumatized. The boss would not let him go out and the man worked from morning to night without any payment, sleeping in the shipyards of the works, "said Victor Rosa.
The Portuguese ended up in hospital and the Mercy of Paris helped him with an interpreter, having been requested by the Consulate General of Portugal in Paris, which "has no means of dealing with the demands it has," said Victor Rosa.
"What appears [to Santa Casa] are situations of extraordinary precariousness. This case of modern slavery was the first. I thought we were away from that reality but it happens a lot in the works, where people come without contracts," he continued, adding that also He had knowledge of Portuguese homelessness cases and Portuguese descendants living on the streets of the French capital.
Victor Rosa also explained that the new wave of emigration "is very heterogeneous in terms of age and training", with "literate and illiterate people" and "not all who come with a straw can a compatible work" especially because " many people arrive here without speaking a word of French, "addressing the Mercy of Paris to support language training.
