Portalegre: bedbug plague suspends GNR course

Rádio Portalegre15 September 2026 at 16:05

The Association of Guard Professionals (APG) reported the suspension of the GNR training course that was taking place in Portalegre. The interruption was due to the presence of bedbugs in the facilities where the course was being held.

The situation was made public by the APG, which represented the professionals affected by the plague. The association raised concerns about the conditions of the space where the guards' training was taking place.

The National Republican Guard training course was thus temporarily suspended due to the infestation. Portalegre was the chosen location to host this GNR training.

Why this matters

The GNR trainees see their course interrupted for hygiene and safety reasons, which may delay their entry into service. The APG's report suggests concern about the conditions of the Guard's training facilities. This type of incident may have logistical and financial implications for the institution.
