Bed bug infestation interrupts GNR training course in Portalegre

SAPO15 September 2026 at 16:29

The Association of Guard Professionals (APG/GNR) revealed that the Guard training course that was taking place in Portalegre was interrupted due to the existence of a bed bug infestation in the facilities. The association received several reports about this situation.

The APG/GNR expressed the need for intervention by the competent authorities to resolve the problem in the facilities where the training was taking place. The course, which should have been running normally, had to be temporarily suspended due to the conditions found.

The association publicly expressed its concern about the situation and advocated for the need to take urgent measures to ensure adequate conditions for the trainees. Portalegre was the chosen location for this training course of the Republican National Guard.

Why this matters

The GNR recruits in training were directly affected by this interruption, being denied access to the facilities until the plague is resolved. The situation raises questions about the reception conditions in the security forces' training centers and may have an impact on the integration process of new Guards.
