Mourão leads video surveillance implementation process in Alentejo

DianaFM14 September 2026 at 11:52

The mayor of Mourão, João Fortes, announced to Diana FM radio station that the Alentejo municipality is the most advanced in the region in the video surveillance implementation process. The mayor highlighted that the city council will proceed with hiring the surveillance system.

The project forecasts the installation of 13 video surveillance cameras at various points in the municipality of Mourão. The camera installation locations will be defined in coordination with the National Republican Guard, which is accompanying the process.

The system still awaits the favorable pronouncement of the National Data Protection Commission, the entity responsible for validating this type of surveillance systems in Portuguese territory. The process is thus awaiting this final approval to move forward.

Why this matters

Readers in the Alentejo closely follow the evolution of this process, which can serve as a model for other municipalities in the region. The implementation of video surveillance directly affects local security and citizen privacy, sensitive topics for communities. This project comes as a result of a national trend of reinforcing video surveillance in urban areas.
