MAI follows "with due attention" the resignation of the president of the fire school

Público12 September 2026 at 19:55

The Ministry of Internal Administration (MAI) announced that it is following "with due attention" the resignation of the president of the national fire school, Lídio Lopes, who presented his resignation this week. The ministry states that it is analyzing the situation resulting from this unexpected departure.

Lídio Lopes presented his resignation with several criticisms directed at the Portuguese Firefighters League (LBP), although the article does not detail the content of these criticisms. The departure of the president comes at a time of tension between the school's leadership and the structure representing firefighters at the national level.

The Portuguese Firefighters League is the main representative entity for firefighters in Portugal, being responsible for various coordination and representation functions of the sector. The conflict between Lídio Lopes and the LBP is believed to have been the basis for the decision to leave the position.

Why this matters

The Ministry is monitoring the situation, which may have implications for the training and organization of firefighters in Portugal. The resignation with criticisms of the Portuguese Firefighters League indicates possible problems in the management of this organization important for civil protection.
