The death of a Portuguese homeless man in London, who was found dead near the British Parliament, has caused a stir in British society and led many politicians to call for better management of the problem of homeless people.
The 35-year-old man was found dead on Friday morning in a corridor of the Westminster tube station, which lawmakers go through daily to get to parliament.
The charity The Connection, which had offered shelter to the unfortunate man many times, expressed its "deep regret" in a statement.
In addition, it is clarified that the 35-year-old had previously worked as a model in the hotel sector. "He was interviewed for a waiter position last week," according to the organization, which did not disclose his details.
Pam Orchard, the organization's director, called for greater efforts to protect the homeless.
"These tragic deaths are only taken into account as statistics," he complained. This man "had qualifications, talents, abilities, but also problems and things took a bad turn for him."
In the area where the lifeless body of the young Portuguese was found, many citizens left a bouquet of flowers. Among them is Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn. "It should never happen. "Our country must stop overcoming the problem without reacting," he wrote in a note he left. In a Twitter post, he called on "all MPs to take on this moral challenge and offer housing to all."
