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, which compares the supposed 910 euros that immigrants receive in benefits

00:27with 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, depending on the benefit.

00:53For example, to qualify for the social integration income, non-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 euros per month for the applicant

01:19and then extra amounts for other adults and children living in the household.

01:24Volunteer firefighters, meanwhile, receive a stipend of 75 euros per day

01:28or about 3 euros per hour when divided over 24 hours,

01:33which 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 euros per month, according to government figures.

01:45Following the blazers in Portugal, citizens are angry that firefighters are not paid enough for their life-saving work,

01:51but posts suggesting that this is somehow the fault of immigrants are disingenuous.
