00:00Do immigrants receive more benefits than firefighters' wages in Portugal?
00:07Portugal and other parts of Europe have been at the centre of one of the continent's worst wildfire seasons since records began in 2006,
00:16which has also turned into a breeding ground for misinformation.
00:19This post appeared on Instagram in August,
00:22which compares the supposed €910 that immigrants receive in benefits with the zero that volunteer firefighters receive in stipends.
00:31The account that published the picture is a self-professed supporter of the far-right Shaker Party and has more than 16,000 followers.
00:39Immigrants don't receive any preferential treatment over Portuguese citizens or immediate benefits upon their arrival in the country.
00:46According to Portuguese law, they only qualify for benefits after fulfilling certain requirements,
00:51depending on the benefit.
00:53For example, to qualify for the social integration income,
00:56non-EU and non-EEA citizens need to have legally resided in Portugal for a year.
01:01They must also be in a situation of what the government describes as extreme poverty
01:05and must enrol in an integration programme, among other requirements.
01:10The amount received depends on the composition of the household requesting it and its income,
01:14but government figures put the reference amount at €237 per month for the applicant
01:19and then extra amounts for other adults and children living in the household.
01:23Volunteer firefighters, meanwhile, receive a stipend of €75 per day or about €3 per hour when divided over 24 hours,
01:32which the League of Portuguese firefighters has criticised for not being enough.
01:37The lowest pay scale for a salaried firefighter, meanwhile, stands at €1,074 per month, according to government figures.
01:44Following the blazers in Portugal, citizens are angry that firefighters are not paid enough for their life-saving work,
01:50but posts suggesting that this is somehow the fault of immigrants are disingenuous.
