Family of one of the victims of the Glória elevator derailment demands formal apology from Carris

Correio da Manhã3 September 2026 at 21:18

The family of one of the victims of the Glória elevator derailment, in Lisbon, came out publicly to demand a formal apology from Carris, the transport company responsible for the elevator. The accident resulted in fatalities and injured, causing great impact on the city.

In addition to the apology, the family demands compensation of one million euros. This amount represents, for the relatives, adequate compensation for the damages suffered with the loss of their loved one.

The Glória elevator is one of the iconic means of transport in Lisbon, linking the lower city to Bairro Alto. The derailment raises questions about the safety and maintenance of such historical infrastructures. Carris, as the operator, now faces pressure from the victim's family for a response that goes beyond legal obligations.
