The managing partner of the company that insulated the ceiling of the Vila Nova da Rainha Association in Tondela told the Viseu court this Friday that the material used, polyurethane, is not flammable and therefore cannot explain what caused the burns of dozens of people. who took part in the Sueca tournament on January 13, 2018, which was attended by more than 60 people. At today’s Friday meeting, testimonies were also heard from some of the tournament participants who received various injuries. “I tripped down the stairs when it was dark and they started falling on each other,” said António Figueiredo, 61, who spent 13 days in a coma.
Opposing opinions are held by fire experts, who wrote in a report on the tragedy that “polyurethane is sometimes highly flammable.” Eleven people have died and President Jorge Diaz is responsible for 11 reckless killings.
