This Fact Check analyses the controversy surrounding tourists at Ponta de São Jorge, in Madeira, questioning whether the signage at the location expressly prohibits access or merely alerts visitors to the danger. A comment on social media, in response to a numerous report by DIÁRIO about the influx of tourists, argued that "danger is not prohibited," arguing that tourists are not explicitly prevented from crossing the installed barrier. The analysis starts from the question of whether the existing signage is sufficient to hold accountable those who ignore the warnings.
