Memorial inaugurated in tribute to victims of the Glória Elevator accident

Now3 September 2026 at 13:01

A memorial was inaugurated in tribute to the victims of the Glória Elevator accident at Largo da Oliveirinha. The event marks the public recognition of the people affected by what has been described as a tragic accident.

The president of the Lisbon City Council, Carlos Moedas, was present at the inauguration ceremony of the memorial. His presence at Largo da Oliveirinha was noted, but the mayor showed no willingness to interact with the media present.

Carlos Moedas refused to comment on the controversies that have arisen regarding the alleged lack of support for the victims of the accident. Questions about the institutional response to what happened were not addressed by the mayor during his visit to the site.

The Glória Elevator is one of Lisbon's historic elevators, and the accident that prompted this memorial generated great public outrage, leading to the need to create a space of memory for the victims.
