Constantin, who has been living in Lisbon for several years, said that the authorities have not announced any cause of the power peri, no estimated time when the problem will be solved.

He went out on the streets in the center of the Portuguese capital, where he noticed that there are queues at ATMs. “Some are blocked,” he said. “Of the 8-9, I passed, only one worked,” said Constantin, stating that the internet on the phone began to go harder.

Trams blocked on rails, crowds in bus stations

“Almost all the stores and all the restaurants are closed. There are many people who are just sitting on the street and there is a lot of traffic and there are many police sirens,” the Romanian situation in the Portuguese capital described.
