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

00:12wildfire seasons since records began in 2006, which has also turned into a breeding ground

00:18for misinformation. This post appeared on Instagram in August, which compares the supposed

00:23910 euros that immigrants receive in benefits, with the zero that volunteer firefighters receive

00:30in stipends. The account that published the picture is a self-professed supporter of the

00:35far-right Shaker Party and has more than 16,000 followers. Immigrants don't receive any preferential

00:41treatment 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. For 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 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 or about 3 euros per hour

01:30when divided over 24 hours, which the League of Portuguese Firefighters has criticised for not

01:36being enough. The lowest pay scale for a salaried firefighter, meanwhile, stands at 1,074 euros per

01:43month, according to government figures. Following the blazes in Portugal, citizens are angry that

01:48firefighters are not paid enough for their life-saving work, but posts suggesting that this is somehow

01:53the fault of immigrants are disingenuous.
