On the 28th of March, the Portuguese far-right party - PNR (Partido Nacional Renovador), posted an outdoor at Marquês do Pombal, one of the busiest areas of Lisbon. Among its sayings were: “Basta de imigração. Nacionalismo é Solução. Boa viagem” [No more immigration. Nationalism is the solution. Have a nice trip.]. This sparked immediate reactions from, among others, the Portuguese Minister of the Presidency, responsible for Migrants’ Integration - Pedro Silva Pereira, who expressed his “repudiation and indignation”  - and the High Commissioner for Immigration and Ethnic Minorities – Rui Marques, who expressed “condemnation and sorrow”. The Public Attorney’s Office checked the legality of the outdoor according to the Criminal Code, and came to the conclusion that did not violate the Law.
