One year after the fatal Glória Elevator accident in Lisbon that killed 16 people and injured 23, no one has been held accountable and most victims remain uncompensated. Only four families have reached compensation agreements, while some victims have never been contacted. Only preliminary reports exist, and the city council has failed to implement promised measures, including a support fund and public documentation platform. The opposition accuses Mayor Carlos Moedas of silence and shifting blame to Carris, the municipally-owned operator. A memorial was inaugurated yesterday, but families criticized it as their first contact and opposed ceremony restrictions.
