Minister of Internal Administration, José Luís Carneiro
Portugal has identified up to 150 critical infrastructure data from parliament, which is being released today in the Internal Administration parliament.
“We have more than 150 objects identified in an identification that are being monitored and worked on in the item of the civil protection system and civil infrastructure of internal security”, said José Luís Carneiro parliamentary hearing of the State budget paragraph 2022 (OE2022).
The minister responds to PSD deputy André Coelho Lima, who said that since 2015 it is planned that a national record of critical infrastructure will be made, but “it is not done until today”.
“In 2011, the national emergency civil emergency system was extinguished. It was within the scope of the civil emergency that the definition and work related to critical infrastructure were located. What was done from 2015 onwards was to try to reconstitute the conceptual work that was being done and implemented”, said the minister.
Critical infrastructures are facilities such as airports, power plants, dams, central transport countries, ports and all places related to State decision points, whose facilities are graves for society or have decisions.
