Christ, this is a huge saga. I do sometimes wonder why this caught the world's attention rather than the other hundreds of unsolved, missing kids cases.https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...-police-apologise-to-madeleine-mccann-parents

If the portuguese police is going to start apologizing to people they'll need to create a new department.https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...-police-apologise-to-madeleine-mccann-parents

Yeah but they only apologized because it's a high profile case with foreigners. The people of Cova da Moura or Bairro da Jamaica will get no apologies.If the portuguese police is going to start apologizing to people they'll need to create a new department.
I don’t know the other cases in question but the way the McCanns were treated by the original investigation was disgraceful. They pinned their narrative on the family and didn’t open their minds to looking elsewhereYeah but they only apologized because it's a high profile case with foreigners.

They deserve an apology of course. @Sly is referring to social housing neighborhoods where many minorities live and the police just do whatever they want there, often committing crimes themselves, but very few care, including the police who never recognize any faults.I don’t know the other cases in question but the way the McCanns were treated by the original investigation was disgraceful.

Their behavior towards minorities is disgraceful as well. Amnesty International has denounced plenty of cases of violence and abuse of power by the Portuguese police. Portuguese minorities, manly black people, don't have the power or influence that afro Americans have for example. Plenty of situations of abuse that go unpunished. They are basically treated as lesser citizens.I don’t know the other cases in question but the way the McCanns were treated by the original investigation was disgraceful.

Well that is pretty disgraceful tooTheir behavior towards minorities is disgraceful as well.

Quite xenophobic towards Brazilians as well unfortunately. Portuguese society never had a proper debate about our past, colonization and racism. This fact reflects on the treatment of minorities and their lack of opportunities in Portuguese society.Well that is pretty disgraceful too
Don't get fooled by the fact that we have a portuguese prime minister of Indian descent or that we had a Black Women as Minister of Justice. These are the exceptions to the rule. Very few black politicians, news anchors, journalists, pundits, analysts, they basically have no representation in portuguese politics or society. Our society only acclaims and expresses pride when minorities excel in Sports.
I'm white but I'm deeply ashamed of this. Specially since I have many friends (portuguese or foreign) of minority background. We are suppose to be know as tolerant people but for me it's kind like Pax Romana. It's a situation that I have to admit as a portuguese citizen.
