Gloria's Elevator Incident: Insurance Company Presses for Immediate Clarification, Marques Mendes Urges Caution in Allocating Blame
The Portuguese Government has announced the establishment of an independent inquiry into the recent elevator accident in Lisbon's Glória. The inquiry, scheduled to begin immediately, aims to determine the cause of the accident, identify any responsible parties, and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
The accident, which took place at the Elevador da Glória – a historic elevator operated by the municipal public transport company Carris – has prompted calls for transparency and caution from several key figures.
António José Seguro, a prominent Portuguese politician, has demanded a rigorous clarification of all responsibilities for the accident, while Luís Marques Mendes, the Minister of Infrastructure, has emphasized the importance of the inquiry for public safety.
Both Seguro and Marques Mendes have urged the public to await the results of the inquiry before discussing potential dismissals or assigning blame. They have also stressed the need for a transparent and unbiased investigation, with regular updates provided to the public.
The inquiry will be conducted by a panel of experts, appointed by the Portuguese Government, with the aim of ensuring a fair investigation. The panel will work diligently to uncover the facts surrounding the accident and make recommendations for preventing such incidents in the future.
In a show of support, the Portuguese Government has offered its condolences to the families affected by the accident. As the investigation progresses, the government remains committed to cooperating fully with the inquiry and ensuring that the truth is uncovered.
The Elevador da Glória, initially owned by the Nova Companhia de Ascensores Mecânicos de Lisboa, has been a fixture of Lisbon's transportation system since its construction in 1885. Today, it is operated by Carris, the same company that runs the city's tram system.
As the inquiry into the elevator accident in Glória unfolds, the public can expect regular updates and a commitment to transparency from all parties involved. The ultimate goal is to ensure the safety of Lisbon's residents and visitors, and to prevent such accidents from happening again in the future.
