Mobilization in defense of human life
Universidade Católica Portuguesa calls for mobilization in defense of personal human life, especially against euthanasia.
Knowing that, "in these circumstances, the Episcopal Conference accompanies and supports the ongoing initiatives against the decriminalisation of euthanasia, namely the holding of a referendum" (communiqué of the Permanent Secretariat of the CEP), the UCP joins the Public Petition for a Referendum on Euthanasia and invites the members of its community to adhere to the petition here.

See here the joint public statement by professors of public law on the decriminalization and legalization of euthanasia and public suicide signed on June 15, 2020.
