Welcome
A warm welcome and special greetings to all those who have subscribed to this newsletter since the last edition.
As you will have seen from the news there have been several major rural fires in the central part of Portugal, in Aljezur a two weeks ago and near Salir overnight 29th/30th July.
Of course most of these fires are preventable, and the work of arsonists is often reported in the media as the blame. Whereas it is true in some cases this is the cause, the more common reason is gross negligence. Also when more fires start close-by, again arson is suspected, but usually these take place due to embers from a fire blowing in high winds to nearby locations
Social media has an important role to play in both helping to spread information concerning rural fire prevention and protection, as well as matters related to this. Indeed with all matters concerning safety and security its use is essential in getting key messages across
.
Unfortunately we see an increasing trend on some English language Facebook pages, for sometimes highly misleading information and occasionally fake news. This reflects badly on those who post such material, is damaging to the reputation of Admins who run these pages and could have d
isastrous
consequences should these involve critical safety issues, which if incorrect and followed, could lead to a risk of injury..
Group Admins can help therefore by ensuring that such posts show the source of the information and where possible if the information is verified.
We recommend that anyone viewing these should check it comes from a reliable and a qualified source which has credibility.
With such a demanding time being placed on the emergency services, a special thought goes to the needs of the Voluntary Bombeiros. Donations are of course welcome and needed. Safe Communities Portugal advises that money donations should only be made to the Voluntary Bombeiros themselves, or through Associacao Para Alerta do Incendio Florestal and other reputable registered organisations. We advise against sending donations directly to private individuals soliciting for donations, however well meaning.

GNR detect drivers of heavy vehicles carrying children without a driving licence
Between 22nd and 28th July the GNR inspected a total of 2,154 passenger vehicles, and identified 449 offences, including 16 for driving heavy passenger vehicles without a driver's licence.
According to GNR, the enforcement operation was aimed at heavy passenger vehicles and vehicles used for the collective transport of children, to ensure compliance with applicable legal regulations, to promote the road safety of its users and to reduce road accident rates.
There are also 117 notices of violation issued by GNR because the vehicles did not have the technical specifications to perform this type of transport, as well as, due to lack of mandatory equipment, namely lack of fire extinguisher and first aid box.
Another 91 offenses result from non-compliance with driving times, mandatory breaks and non-compliance with rest times, while 32 were due to lack of licensing or vehicles not fulfilling the requirements to perform this type of transport.
The list of contradictions includes 20 for passenger transport without the use of an approved and adapted seat belt or child restraint, 14 for lack or incorrect completion of the documentation required for the type of service, 13 for non-compliance with the rules on installation and use of tachograph and four for lack of licence for the exercise of the activity.
Comment
A very important and well planned operation which has probably gone a long way to help protect children placed in obvious danger, by those who were responsible for care.

Infrastructures of Portugal launches application to reduce animal deaths on roads
In was announced through Lusa on 30th July that Infrarastructures de Portugal (IP) had launched the "Life Lines" application, which will alert drivers of the locations on roads where animals are most run over so that we can take more effective action and reduce deaths.
The project has included for a "ground breaking" traffic signal in Portugal that warns drivers that they are in a section with a high risk of amphibians being run over.
This was explained by an IP engineering biologist Graça Garcia at a presentation at the company's headquarters in Almada, in the district of Setubal.
With the help of citizens, information recorded on the death of an animal on any road in the country will be included in an existing database.
The digital tool was developed in partnership with the University of Évora and, according to the project coordinator at the institution, António Mira, besides mitigating negative effects, it is intended to "create awareness".
According to the official, between 2005 and 2019, 81,972 animals died on Portuguese roads, with a higher incidence of amphibians, birds and mammals.
Comment
Obvious question but why is this technology not being used to alert people to accident back spots. The use of speed cameras and speed reduction signs is not enough.

Safe Village - Safe People - the flammable collar controversy
On Friday, the "Jornal de Notícias" (JN) reported that the National Civil Protection Authority (ANPC) delivered seventy thousand smoke collars, included in fire relief kits, under the "Safe Village - Safe People" program. .
The same newspaper wrote that they were collars made of flammable material and without anti-carbonization treatment, which provoked a series of criticisms to ANEPC and the Government, which paid 125 thousand euros for the smoke-free collars. The case has already prompted the Ministry of Internal Affairs to open an urgent inquiry into what happened. Understand what is happening with these quick answers.
The problem with the controversial kit, which serves as a first aid to the emergence of fires rather than combat, is that it includes a polyester smoke collar that will not have the expected effectiveness: preventing smoke inhalation through a filter effect. In addition to ineffectiveness, the collar material is flammable and uncarbonised.
One company from Fafe, Braga district, Foxtrot Aventura, and another from Arouca, Brain One - both contacted by ANEPC and made the collar and the kit..
Foxtrot Aventura sold a total of 15,000 kits and 70,000 collars in June 2018. According to the news, anti-smoking collars cost 125,000 euros. In his defence, a Fafe company official considered merchandising and that ANEPC did not refer to Foxtrot Aventura that the equipment "would be used in scenarios involving fire".
On the same day that the complaint was reported, the Civil Protection stated that the materials distributed are not for firefighting or for individual protection, but for raising awareness of good practices.

Zoomarine blacklisted by two animal rights organisations
A report from the World Organisation of Animal Protection and Change Foundation for Animals accuses the Zoomarine, Algarve,of abusing dolphins as entertainment in aquatic shows, , forcing them to do stunts and tricks or to be used as surfing boards for visitors.
According to a joint assessment of these two international associations, Zoomarine is one of 12 zoos and international water parks that subject animals to "cruel and humiliating" activities that cause "great physical and mental suffering".
Organisations have visited parks in Portugal, Singapore, Australia and the United States and claim to have seen dolphins treated as "mere props for selfies" while visitors hugged, petted or kissed them. The problem, they stress, is that direct interaction between animals and humans is a favourable situation for the transmission of infectious diseases between species.
This direct interaction goes against the animal welfare guidelines advocated by World Animal Protection and Change for Animals. "Wild animals are not domesticated; must maintain their biology and wild behaviour,"argues the report. "For wild animals to interact or act for visitors, harsh training methods are used that cause terrible suffering."
Zoomarine have not yet issued a statement concerning the matter.

Government to crack down on use of mobile phones while driving
In statements to Lusa, the Secretary of State for Civil Protection, José Artur Neves, said that the intention is to approve these changes within the current legislature.
Currently the use of mobile phones while driving carries with it a two-point penalty.
Neves did not specify by how much the penalty would increase.
Notification periods will be reduced so that on receipt of a fine shortly after an infringement, offenders feel that they have made a mistake and are less likely to repeat the offence immediately afterwards.
Neves said that the government, together with schools, is acting to reduce the number of deaths on the roads, but changing road behaviour "tends to take a long time to materialise."
Data from the National Road Safety Authority (ANSR) showed that the number of deaths on Portuguese roads increased in 2018, for the second consecutive year.
According to ANSR, 445 people died in 2016, rising to 510 in 2017 and 513 in 2018.

The PSP is to also provide security escorts to columns of heavy goods vehicles within the framework of minimum or alternative services or with the appropriate means, namely through the intervention corps.
The police said that there will be police officers qualified to drive heavy goods vehicles, and a PSP tanker vehicle (operational logistics vehicle) is to be used to support and reserve the fuel supply for the police vehicles and to support the community if needed.
The PSP will also ensure safety at picket lines and traffic management on the main roads under its area of responsibility. It will also

Brave heroes "will give men voice on the ground"
From Saturday 3
rd July, and for eight weeks, the "Brave Heroes" initiative aims to give voice to the corporation of fire chiefs, provide prevention tips to the population and suggest behaviour to consider in the event of a fire alert.
The project, which will feature on the websites of "Jornal de Notícias", "Diário de Notícias" and TSF - media of the Global Media Group (GMG) -, aims to promote a major national awareness movement.
"We are all needed to reduce the number of fires," said Domingos de Andrade, director of "Jornal de Notícias", yesterday, at the headquarters of the Portuguese Firefighters League, in Lisbon, to whom he had to present "Brave Heroes".
He underscored "the importance of giving voice to those we trust throughout the year, the 42,000 brave heroes who work to rescue people." Among the headings in preparation, the director of JN highlighted the one that will give visibility to the commanders of various corporations from north to south of the country.
The Minister of Internal Administration, Eduardo Cabrita, called the initiative "a true exercise of citizenship". Because of climate change, he said, fires of some magnitude are expected, and therefore it is necessary to focus on prevention.

Albufeira - Respecting Portuguese Culture
Two years ago I accompanied the GNR to the Strip in Albufeira to see for myself the situation. It was a Tuesday in August, at 03.30 hrs in the morning.
What I saw to my mind was not Portugal at all, but a night life area which had somehow gone wrong. There were thousands of people, many under the age of sixteen, many clearly drunk, a few collapsed in the streets clearly worse for wear, broken beer bottles and vomit in the streets.
I returned to the GNR Albufeira station and the reception area was full of those, who the GNR had found unaccompanied and drunk in the streets and those who had been involved in some form of incident requiring assistance.
All these people were tourists.
The tragedy of this is that this problem has been going on for years, despite the many calls for change. The recent Algarve Resident article shows, however, the situation has not improved.
Not only do these people cause trouble overnight, this also extends into the day time, again fuelled by excessive alcohol.
This anti-social behaviour discourages families to the area and tarnishes the Algarve's fine reputation as a safe tourist destination
In an effort to try and develop initiatives to improve the situation, Safe Communities Portugal held a seminar in December 2018 Albufeira entitled "Nightlife, Tourism and Alcohol", which was attended by the Secretary of State for Internal Administration, the GNR, President Regional Tourism Algarve, the Mayor of Albufeira (who had to leave half way through) APAV, and various other entities. About 100 people attended.
Despite the fact there was extensive publicity beforehand and held in Portuguese, conspicuous by their absence were the bar owners and their staff who could have learned much from the event.

This operation was carried out by military personnel from the Ovar Territorial Detachment and the Aveiro Territorial Command and by dog units from the Aveiro, Viana do Castelo and Viseu Territorial Commands.
Comment
Trafficking is a crime if the amount of drugs seized is more than 10 days supply in the possession of the person concerned. It can also be a crime if the amount is less than this but there is evidence of trafficking. Otherwise it is dealt with as an administrative/health issue.

Escape from Algarve Confusion - Faro Airport promotes France as destination of choice
A Faro Airport campaign calling for an escape from the "Algarve confusion" has caused controversy. The Government has already asked for explanations from ANA Aeroportos, which has suspended, on Monday, the publications on social networks.
The phrase "Flee from the Algarve confusion to the best in France", in Portuguese, English and Spanish, was the beacon of an advertising campaign for flights to Marseille, sparked a chorus of protests.
The President of Regional Tourism Algarve, João Fernandes, condemned the campaign, having contacted the airport management who "ordered the immediate cessation of this campaign and the clearance of responsibilities for its disclosure".
The PS / Algarve president and deputy, José Graça, also called for "the immediate suspension of campaigns sponsored by Faro Airport, promoting external destinations as an alternative to the Algarve, having contacted the originator concerned to express their displeasure". Rep. Cristóvão Norte (PSD) called the campaign "foolish" and "disrespectful for the Algarve".
In a statement, the Office of the Minister for Infrastructure and Housing reported that "the Government, as soon as it became aware of the situation [Faro Airport advertising campaign promoting the destination of Marseille], asked ANA for explanations and immediately called for action to remove a publication that is contrary to the interests of the country, the Portuguese and the national economy ".

Calling 112 in an Emergency
It is important to remember the system should only be used for real Emergencies. Non-emergency use can detract operators from dealing with real emergencies. Do not call 112 for traffic, weather, general information and queries. Unnecessary calls can overload the system and endanger the lives of those who really need emergency help. False calls can also affect the response to real emergencies.
If you need to make an emergency call the following tips will make it easier for you
Stay calm - When calling 112 it is important to stay calm. You need to provide the emergency service with relevant information.
If possible, make the call yourself - No one can explain the situation better than you.
Wait until the operator answers your call - It may take a little time, but every repeated call is considered a new one and is put at the end of the queue, therefore the time of getting through might be prolonged.
Providing details - When the operator answers your call, say your name, try to explain what happened and who is involved. Also, try to indicate your location the best way possible. It makes it easier for emergency services to reach you.
Follow the operator's advice - Answer the questions and follow the operator's advice. Do not hang up until the operator says so. Try to keep your phone line free until the emergency services reach you. The dispatcher may need to contact you for further information.
If something changes, inform 112 again - For better or for worse, call 112 again and report it.

Persons disguised as Brazilian police steal € 27 million worth of gold
Authorities have not revealed the identity or details of the capture on Sunday of one of the suspected gold theft group, who is suspected of stealing gold valued at about $ 30 million (€ 27 million).
By Saturday, the man who said he had been held hostage by the group had already been arrested. He is an employee of the airport, according to the G1 portal (Globo network).
Four men disguised as agents of the Brazilian Federal Police raided an export warehouse at the cargo terminal at Guarulhos International Airport in Sao Paulo state on Thursday and stole about 750 kilograms of gold
According to police reports, the men entered the heavily armed airport inside two cars that appeared to be Federal Police vehicles and stole a car carrying the gold. The crime occurred around 14:30 local time (19.30 pm in mainland Portugal).
Although armed, the robbers entered and left without drawing much attention, but took an official hostage.
The Brazilian Highway Police reported that the suspects kidnapped family members of an employee who would have known about the operation of the Guarulhos airport cargo terminal on Wednesday night, which would have facilitated the execution of the robbery.
The 33-year-old hostage who was taken by the robbers on the trail was eventually released and told police that the suspects abandoned the vehicles used in the robbery and kidnapping and fled with gold in other vehicles. He was meanwhile detained by the authorities as a suspect

Bar Association against agreement on handing over fugitive offenders to Macao SAR
Lisbon, 29 July 2019 (Lusa) - The Bar Association (BA) today expressed "worrying reservations" about the legality and constitutionality of the agreement signed between Portugal and the Government of the Macao Special and Administrative Region (MSAR) concerning the "Delivery of Escaping Offenders ".
In a statement, the BA General Council understands that the agreement raises "well founded and worrying reservations, for violating fundamental and structuring principles of Portuguese Constitutional and Criminal Law".
The bilateral agreement signed on May 15 this year has been officially published in the MSAR, but not yet in Portugal.
According to BA, the agreement provides, among other things, for the possibility of a fact which was not previously considered a criminal offence, but which at the time of the request may already be the basis for a request for surrender by the defendant.
"This possibility violates Article 29 (1) of the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic, which provides for the principle of prohibiting the retroactive application of less favourable criminal law," recalls the Order.
The BA states that the plea also allows for the possibility that, by way of application of the agreement, surrender may occur even if the crime for which judicial cooperation is requested does not contain the same typical elements on which punishment in Portugal depends.
