Portugal’s virus situation has vastly improved since the British government imposed a travel ban.
A petition has begun in the UK to see the ban lifted. Last weekend Portuguese ambassador to the UK, Manuel Lobo Antunes labeled the ban “disproportionate and unfair”.
This week’s petition explains: “As one of our oldest allies it is time to take Portugal off the travel Red List. Our formerly strong relationship with the country is on the brink of collapse. Portugal has a good tourism and working relationship with the UK and the issue of them being singled out needs to be addressed”.
So far, almost 13,000 people have signed the petition which needed 10,000 signatures in order to be considered for debate in the UK parliament.
