Bad weather? Carneiro leaves appeal: “Clean the guidelines” of the authorities

O pS Secretary-General today called on citizens and institutions to comply with the guidelines of Civil Protection and Security Authorities without deciding whether to consider them timely or sufficient.

In the margins of a meeting with the president of the Order of Official Auditors in Lisbon, José Luís Carneiro was asked about the statement of the state of alert decided by the government and if he had been previously informed, to which he responded negatively.

“We were not informed,” he said.

As regards whether the recommendations made in response to the expected weather worsening are considered timely and sufficient, Carneiro said he did not have information to make this assessment, preferring to leave an appeal.

“ The word I want to leave is that citizens, institutions comply with the guidelines of national civil protection and security authorities, because it is also in compliance with these guidelines that the safety of people is,” he said.

The Government declared a warning situation in mainland Portugal due to the foreseeable worsening of the state of time between 00:00 and 23:59 Wednesday.

The Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves, today announced the closing of non-essential public services and schools on Wednesday due to the worsening state of time and called for telework and employers and workers to reconcile work.
