Marcelo says that Vila de Rei is an example of the other Portugal that was hit

“We just saw a company where the estimated losses are half a million or more [euros]. A 30 year old company. Whoever did it is ruined like the company. It’s a life. This happens in many cases. It happened here and it wasn’t the only major damage.”he emphasized.

For the head of state, this explains how very serious and extensive this natural phenomenon was in the territory.

“It will take time. It is necessary to explain from the beginning that it will be like this so as not to create expectations that it is an easy thing that can be resolved in an instant. Don’t take into account the fact that it is still an ongoing process. There could be more rain, floods, there could be more municipalities joining the 59 that are in a state of calamity”he stressed.

Marcelo also said that with other phenomena such as fires, a lot was learned and many things were improved, but it was apparently not possible to improve many others.

“We have fiber optics underground. And yet, we still have electrical connections that you can see throughout the country and which are primitive. A windstorm puts these connections into crisis. We are a country that has the most advanced things in Europe and in the world and then we still have problems, even due to inequalities between territories that are very old”.
