Reopening of search for Pedro Paiva requested in public petition

Diário de Coimbra1 September 2026 at 18:28

A public petition was sent to the Presidency of the Republic requesting the reopening of the search for Pedro Paiva, whose disappearance occurred in the municipalities of Figueira da Foz and Montemor-o-Velho. The form addressed to the President of the Republic calls for the intervention of security and civil protection forces in these two regions.

The petition arises as an appeal from authorities and the local community to resume search efforts for the disappearance of Pedro Paiva. The municipalities covered by the request are territories that are part of the central zone of Portugal.

The request for intervention sent to the Presidency of the Republic indicates that local authorities consider a reinforcement of search resources necessary to locate Pedro Paiva. The mobilization of security and civil protection forces demonstrates the gravity that the case still holds for the families and the population of the region.
