Seixal has moved to secure legal assistance for residents and businesses affected by recent power cuts that have damaged households, disrupted economic activity and impaired essential services. The municipality’s intervention aims to help affected parties understand consumer and utility law, gather evidence of losses and pursue claims or compensation, while scrutinising the responsibilities of suppliers and the adequacy of emergency responses.

Residents are calling for solutions to successive power cuts. “It's desperate,” they say. The municipal council and parish council will meet this Wednesday with E-Redes, which says the faults are due to a lack of infrastructure.

The storm affecting Madeira has already caused flooding and landslides. There have also been reports of fallen trees and downed power lines. Santa Cruz and Machico were the municipalities with the highest number of incidents.

Even when there is electricity, it is not sufficient.
