Accident in Elevator da Glória: newly-sanctioned transparency platform reveals details; Alexandra Leitão alleges hostile remarks from Carlos Moedas

In a solemn gesture, the Porto City Council has approved a moment of silence to remember the victims of the tragic accident at the Glória Elevator in Lisbon. The incident occurred on September 3, 2025, resulting in the deaths of 15 people, including the brakeman André Marques.

The silence was prompted by the recent tragic event, as Alexandra Leitao, a prominent figure, expressed her shock over the attack on Jorge Coelho at the Glória Elevator memorial. The details of this attack, however, remain undisclosed.

Carris, the transportation company responsible for the Glória Elevator, revealed that a previous incident in 2018 did not result in a report but was recorded. The identity of the second victim in the 2025 incident has yet to be disclosed.

Meanwhile, another victim's identity has been revealed, but there is no information about any specific person being honoured by the city of Porto in relation to the accident. Additionally, no updates have been provided on the investigation into the Glória Elevator incident.

Despite the lack of new information, the moment of silence serves as a poignant reminder of the lives lost in the tragic accident. No further details about memorial services or reports related to the Glória Elevator have been made public at this time.
