Spain and Portugal reopen their common border after three months

Portugal and Spain reopened their common border In a double ceremony, the heads of state and government of the two countries ending three months of closed doors between the two Iberian neighbors.

However, caution is advised when a new outbreak of coronavirus was discovered in Lisbon: “We are going to have to continue living with this virus on both sides of the border,” said Antonio Costa, Prime Minister of Portugal, in every city, for everyone. We have to be disciplined and follow the rules. “

After this ceremony in Badajoz, the delegations went to Elvas, a Portuguese village extremely dependent on Spanish tourists.

And over there, we experienced containment very badly. This old man testifies: “We should never have closed the borders. The one who has to die, he dies. The one who has to live, he lives. It is like that, and it should have stayed like that. We suffered a lot.”

Many, however, praised the prudence and firmness of the Portuguese government in its management of the crisis. And today, 19 districts in the north of Lisbon are again confined, with the right to meet limited to five people.
