DTwo men aged 43 and 30 were arrested in the act, on the afternoon of November 25, while they were preparing to carry out a drug deal, in the parish of Santa Maria Maior, in Lisbon.
“During an operation aimed at identifying and detaining suspects who could commit the crime of drug trafficking and after a few minutes of observation, the Police managed to catch a man in the act of committing drugs, in exchange for a certain sum of money ”, explained the Public Security Police (PSP) in a statement released to the editorial office on Thursday.
The PSP also seized five individual doses of hashish, six individual doses of liamba, 108.85 euros in cash and two US dollars.
“The first prisoner, for the crime of small-scale drug trafficking, was released and ordered to appear before the local petty crime court, in order to proceed to trial,” we read.
The illegal immigrant was “taken back to the detention areas to be brought before the Judicial Authority and subsequently sent to the Temporary Placement Centre”.
This was an action by the Lisbon Metropolitan Command of the PSP, through the Criminal Investigation Division.

How can individuals effectively contribute to combating climate change in their daily lives?
Interview Between Time.news Editor and Climate Change Expert
Time.news Editor: Welcome to Time.news! Today, we are diving deep into one of the most pressing issues of our time: climate change. I’m thrilled to have Dr. Amelia Thompson, a climate scientist and outspoken advocate for sustainable practices, joining us. Welcome, Dr. Thompson!
Dr. Amelia Thompson: Thank you for having me! I’m excited to talk about this critical topic.
Editor: Let’s start with the basics. Many people hear about climate change in the news but might not fully understand what it encompasses. Can you explain what climate change is and why it matters?
Dr. Thompson: Absolutely! Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns, primarily due to human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These actions increase greenhouse gas emissions, trapping heat in the Earth’s atmosphere. It matters because it affects everything from weather patterns and agricultural productivity to public health and ecosystems.
Editor: It sounds overwhelming. What specific changes are we already seeing in our environment as a result of climate change?
Dr. Thompson: We’ve seen a variety of effects already. For instance, global temperatures are rising, leading to more frequent and severe weather events like hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves. Melting ice caps contribute to rising sea levels, which threaten coastal cities. Furthermore, ecosystems are shifting – some species are migrating to cooler areas, and others are facing extinction.
Editor: It’s definitely alarming. Many people feel a sense of helplessness when thinking about climate change. What can individuals do to help combat this issue?
Dr. Thompson: That’s a great question! Individuals can make a significant impact through their choices. Simple actions like reducing energy consumption, opting for public transport or cycling, minimizing waste, and supporting sustainable products can collectively lead to substantial change. Advocacy is also vital—supporting policies and leaders who prioritize climate action can drive systemic change.
Editor: Speaking of systemic change, what role do governments and organizations play in addressing climate change?
Dr. Thompson: Governments and organizations are crucial in setting regulations and standards that promote sustainability. They can invest in renewable energy, enhance public transportation, and support climate education. International cooperation is also essential, as climate change is a global challenge that transcends borders. The Paris Agreement, for example, represents a landmark commitment among nations to combat climate change.
Editor: It seems like there’s a global shift happening. What are some encouraging developments in the fight against climate change that you’ve observed recently?
Dr. Thompson: There are many! The rapid growth of renewable energy technologies like solar and wind power is promising, making them increasingly affordable and accessible. Additionally, some governments are pledging to reach net-zero emissions, and grassroots movements are gaining momentum, empowering communities to demand change. It’s inspiring to see younger generations actively advocating for their future as well.
Editor: With so many challenges and developments, what gives you hope for the future?
Dr. Thompson: Hope lies in our ability to innovate and adapt. Humanity has faced challenges before and has shown resilience and creativity in finding solutions. The growing awareness of climate issues among the public and the rising demand for sustainable practices from consumers signal a shift that can drive change. If we mobilize our collective efforts, I believe we can mitigate climate change and create a more sustainable world.
Editor: That’s an empowering sentiment, Dr. Thompson. Before we wrap up, what is one message you’d like our readers to take away?
Dr. Thompson: I’d say, don’t underestimate your power as an individual. Every action counts, and collective efforts can lead to significant change. Stay informed, engage in discussions, and advocate for a sustainable future. We’re all in this together!
Editor: Thank you, Dr. Thompson, for your insights and for providing practical steps we can take. It’s been a pleasure having you here!
Dr. Thompson: Thank you! It’s been great to share this conversation.
Editor: And thank you to our readers for tuning in. Stay engaged and informed about climate change and remember, every small step can contribute to a larger impact. Until next time!
