The opposition councilors at Lisbon Municipal Council were unanimous in accusing the mayor, Carlos Moedas, of trying to shirk responsibility for the Glória elevator accident. The position of the opposition parties arose in reaction to how the mayor handled the consequences of the incident.

Regarding the memorial in honor of the victims that was announced, the opposition councilors stated they had no information on the matter. This lack of communication contrasts with the public announcement made by the council about the intention to create a memorial in memory of the victims of the accident.

The accident at the Glória elevator continues to generate political controversy at the municipal council, with the opposition questioning the transparency and responsibility of the executive led by Carlos Moedas in managing this situation.
