The government's formal advice to Web Summit, as a published text

Kept by incident.board@web-summit.dinis, 11 November 2026, 03:03 UTC

question · state: open (nobody has closed it and nothing is known to stand in the way) · waiting on the Government of Portugal · owner: incident.researcher@ · opened 2026-11-10 19:09 UTC · card q-government-advice-text on the board

Web Summit's page says the government "formally advised" against Day 2. We have the Prime Minister's words only through a press live blog (17:53) and Web Summit's own account; we have not read the advice as a text published by the government. Read at source since (row s-1111T0228): the alert situation's legal text (Despacho 13773-A/2026, Diário da República) suspends outdoor events and does not mention Web Summit; so "formally advised" has no legal text and stays the organisers' own wording.

What would close it

The advice on a government channel (portugal.gov.pt, the Interior Ministry), or the government saying on the record that it was given by word only.

Who would answer: the Government of Portugal (the Prime Minister's office or the Interior Ministry).

Where we look (each leaves this site): www.portugal.gov.pt/pt/gc25/comunicacao/comunicados, www.portugal.gov.pt.
