The national press this Friday is divided between political developments and the tragic incident involving the Glória elevator. While some newspapers focus on polls or presidential candidacies, others provide more details about the accident.
“Governor hides luxury house. A millionaire project in Golegã by the Secretary of State for Agriculture” is today’s headline in Correio da Manhã.
The Expresso reports that the “choice of cable with plastic core” could be the “cause of the accident,” while the Diário de Notícias, emphasizing the DN/Aximage poll, highlights the “European rule” that “foresees an advance of 21 thousand euros for each death, but Portugal does not implement it.”
The Nascer do Sol, on the other hand, reports that “Ventura will advance to Belém.”
