The president of the Bar Association, João Massano, criticized in Estremoz the failures in the practical application of the Supported Adult Regime. In statements to the newspaper ODigital.pt, this Friday, João Massano considered that the regime faces problems related to the absence of structures and available people to support those who need accompaniment. The president stated that the regime was designed with certain intentions, but its practical implementation has revealed significant difficulties. These criticisms arise in the context of a visit or intervention in Estremoz, where the leader of the Bar Association expressed his concern about the current situation of the regime.

Why this matters
Readers in the Estremoz and Alentejo region are directly affected by these failures, since citizens with accompaniment needs may encounter practical difficulties accessing the regime that should protect them. The criticism from the president of the Bar Association indicates a serious gap in the implementation of a law aimed at protecting vulnerable people, potentially leaving elderly people and people with disabilities without the necessary support.
