Portugal, on Government’s Travel “Green List” From May 17th, May Not Lift Ban on British Tourists Until May 30th

by Michael Curzon
14 May 2021 11:07 AM

As if the Government’s travel “green list” wasn’t limited enough, there are reports that Portugal may not lift its ban on European tourists until at least May 30th – two weeks after travel restrictions are eased in Britain. This decision would force many to cancel their holiday bookings. The Mail has the story.

Portugal had been expected to lift its ban on European tourists entering its borders – including U.K. holidaymakers – from this Sunday.

But there was confusion amid reports the ban could be extended to May 30th.

It would mean Britons with holidays booked there next week – to coincide with the U.K.’s own travel ban being lifted on Monday – face having them cancelled.

It would also block thousands of football fans who have booked tickets for the Champions League final in Porto on May 29th.

The match had previously been due to be held in Istanbul but was moved following talks between U.K. ministers and UEFA organisers after Turkey was added to England’s travel “red list”…

Officials in Lisbon suggested the Portuguese cabinet talks about Covid concerned extending the country’s official “state of calamity” and would not change the lifting of the travel ban.

They said it related to its ability to introduce emergency Covid legislation and would not include tourism, which they said was still expected to be given the green light from Sunday. 

A formal announcement clarifying the situation is expected on Friday.

It came as the BBC reported that the Portuguese Government will require U.K. football fans to fly in and out of the country on the day of the match. Fans will also have to stay in a “bubble” while in the city.

The country’s Cabinet Affairs Minister, Mariana Vieira da Silva, said: “They will be moved to the stadium and from the stadium to the airport, being in Portugal less than 24 hours.”

Worth reading in full.

Stop Press: MailOnline is reporting that holidays in Portugal are back on: “Portugal confirmed today that British tourists will be allowed to enter the country from next Monday, after it held crunch talks with the EU about non-essential travel.”

Let’s put all this in perspective. And it couldn’t be done better than this, Tucker Carlson interviewing (46 minutes) Dr Peter McCullough: https://www.bitchute.com/video/YHJ5XURJrhUY/

Thanks for the link. Excellent interview, everyone should be ‘mandated’ to see and listen to this , rather than take a vaccine.
‘Something big and dark is going on around the world’, I think he said this 6 times.

NB I hadn’t realised Queensland had made taking HCQ illegal in April 2020! I knew UK and France Govts seperately had taken all the stocks available in their countries by Feb 2020 but I don’t think either had actually made its use illegal until some months afterwards.
Anyone knowing the timelines of many aspects of this, cannot but see the planning involved.
McCullough mentions fear being the motive, but he also makes it clear through the way he uses his language that he no longer believes that is true.
We are watching pure evil at work.

Indeed, he was careful not to go full conspiracy but he knows it’s there, because I’m in correspondence with him, through Doctors4CovidEthics (the group of which I, part who has written several open letters to the EMA, warning of blood clots, before they paused the AZ vaccine (because of blood clots).

It’s a superb interview, as much for Dr McCullough’s evidence as for Carlson getting animated.

Clown world. They spent all week arguing on where to host the European Cup final only to move it to somewhere you won’t be able to visit until the 30th May? What was the point of that…?

That is the trouble with turning on the fear spigot – it is hard to turn it off.

Aren’t the footie fans being ‘bubbled’ into Porto? Or is that the other final in Gdansk (where UK travellers are definitely not permitted to go)? In any case, that would work. I expect the locals will be getting themselves bent out of shape over it all, though; as well as the locals here about people ‘bringing covid back into the country’.

Apart from anything else, governments’ reactions to this bloody thing has set international relations back centuries. Chinese, Brazilians, Indians … who are we supposed to ‘hate’ next?

This gives me a sliver of hope. Our Government says we can go, their Government says we can’t. Our Government wants vaccine passports, Spain’s tourism minister says they don’t need passports or even a test. France and Germany have a lot of vaccine hesitancy, so that’s good for us. May the confusion continue I say, so that none of it works, ever!
