The Elevador da Glória in Lisbon suffered a serious accident a year ago, and Carlos Moedas declared war on insecurity. However, the article argues that safety also means being able to use public transport without fear of dying from negligence. The elevator caused significant damage to the city.
A year after the accident, only four families have reached a compensation agreement with Carris. The public transport company has not opened any internal disciplinary proceedings related to the incident. The final report on the case has been postponed to 2027.
In contrast to this slowness, the municipality promoted photomontages, hired an architect, and held a press conference about the future of the elevator. The article criticizes that while Moedas promises war on insecurity when it depends on others, when it comes to his own action, there is only propaganda.
