Glória Elevator Accident: PS Wants Special Commission at Municipal Assembly, City Hall Inaugurates Memorial

Expresso2 September 2026 at 20:15

The municipal deputies from the PS in Lisbon want the oversight of the Elevador da Glória accident to go through the Municipal Assembly. The legislative initiative was voted down last year by the parties on the right, but the Socialist Party has decided to press ahead with the proposal.

The reports on the Elevador da Glória accident have been postponed to next year. Given this situation, the PS believes the Municipal Assembly should take a more active oversight role in the case.

The Lisbon City Council is inaugurating a memorial related to the accident. This decision comes in the context of ongoing investigations into what happened at the elevator.

The Elevador da Glória continues to be the subject of great media and political attention, with the PS pressing for the matter to be debated and monitored by the municipal legislative body.
