At the end of a meeting with trade union and labour representatives of the Foreigners and Borders Service (SEF), Rui Rio confessed that he was "very concerned" by the reports of situations that had been made to him and that he said he did not want to reproduce them in full in public.

"There is no capable control of the Portuguese borders, there is a lot of deficiency in the way the Portuguese borders are being controlled. The example I am giving is that even citizens who do not bring the test completed and have to do it here, many enter without doing it," he warned.

"I have to say that I was very worried about whether or not there are checks at the Portuguese borders," he added.

Well look at the apartments in the Algarve full with people from Spain Italy Belgium Dutch Swiss all laughing drove here no problem from what I was told and seen.Even nationals flying in from the UK refusing to have test at airport because of the 100 euro cost per person straight out the door,they were screaming at the people in charge,but like anything it needs the army to enforce the law fully or lock them up for 14 days or the coming season will again be destroyed. Today looking out the window people on the beach,walking around on the front all after the 1pm lockdown.Dont go moaning about the Virus taking off if you cant simply solve these simple problems.
