Elevador da Glória: Victims and affected families feel "forgotten" by the Lisbon City Council

TV RECORD EUROPA3 September 2026 at 15:27

Victims of the Elevador da Glória derailment and their families feel "forgotten" by the Lisbon City Council. The accident occurred at the Elevador da Glória, a famous historic funicular in the Portuguese capital.

The victims report that the only contact they received from the Lisbon City Council was for the inauguration of the memorial in honor of the accident, which left the affected families with a feeling of abandonment by the municipal authorities.

The memorial was recently inaugurated, but according to the victims and families, this gesture did not make up for the lack of follow-up and support from the city council over time.

The news was published by TV RECORD, which provides more details about this situation on its website.
