Criticism of the Government of Antonio Costa after the crowds and the massive celebration of English fans in Porto after the final de la Champions League. The opposition goes further and requests the resignation of the president after cataloging what happened as “shame“.
The reason is that Portugal announced security measures before the arrival of fans from Chelsea and Manchester City that later were not fulfilled. In Portugal they still do not understand why the national league does not admit an audience in the stadiums but nevertheless 15,000 fans were welcomed for the Champions League final.
Some 15,000 fans who before and after the game invaded the streets of Porto and the terraces of the bars without any control, on many occasions without using a mask or respecting the distance security against the coronavirus.
The night in Porto passed with a lot of work for the agents, with a slightly injured police officer and two English fans arrested. Two English fans arrested. The Government had promised extraordinary measures that were ultimately not fulfilled and fans of the Chelsea they celebrated the title outside of the ‘fanzone’.
There were small disturbances in the streets, but what worries the Government most now is the possible transmission of coronavirus, which increases in Lisbon. Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa has also criticized what happened in Porto.
From the Portuguese government they ask extreme precautions to all the people who were in contact with English fans during this final of Champions League contested at the Do Dragao stadium.
