Portugal and Spain are "European example" in the reopening of borders The Minister of Internal Administration considers Portugal and Spain "a European example in the coordination" regarding borders, under the scope of the Covid-19 pandemic. "I answer for all the responsibilities I have as minister of the Portuguese government" and "I guarantee that Portugal and Spain are a European example in coordination, in the opening and reopening of borders," said Eduardo Cabrita, in Odemira, in the district of Beja. After a coordination meeting on the implementation of measures related to the fight against Covid-19 in this municipality of Alentejo, the minister was questioned by Lusa news agency about the fact that Portugal has reopened the land borders with Spain, but, in Spain the neighbouring area of Galicia remains confined.
