Elevador da Glória: 'Guilt cannot die single. Carris will have to take responsibility'

Now3 September 2026 at 16:44

José Correia de Almeida publicly argued that the investigation into the accident at Elevador da Glória should not be limited to violations of safety rules, warning of the risk that responsibility may remain unascertained.

The elevator, one of Lisbon's historic landmarks, suffered an incident that prompted the opening of an investigation into the circumstances of the accident.

Correia de Almeida emphasized that guilt cannot go without consequences, stating that Carris, the company responsible for the elevator's operation, will have to assume its responsibility.

The position arises in the context of a debate about the need for a complete and comprehensive investigation into the accident.
