TVI Notícias10 September 2026 at 21:21

Nearly a hundred companies affected by storm Kristin were left without government support. The 150 million euro support line launched by the Executive was exhausted without these companies having received any amount.

Despite being entitled to the available funds, the approximately 100 businesses have not yet been able to access the promised amounts. Storm Kristin is believed to have caused significant damage to these companies.

The Ministry of Finance and the Agency for Competitiveness and Infrastructure, responsible for managing the support line, have not commented on the situation so far.
