“Following the European recommendation, […] preparatory work is under way that will allow each Member State to analyse the risk the same way.
In Portugal, the National Communications Regulator (Anacom) is working with the National Cyber-security Centre among other entities on this matter, the infrastructure minister said in a statement.
After being questioned by Lusa News Agency, the government said that “the risks they are talking about are not new, nor are they only connected with 5G”, at a time there are spying suspicion controversies mainly regarding the Chinese manufacturer Huawei.
The government said “the matter of the security of networks is central to ensure the development and security of the country and the defence of citizens’ interests”, which is why it defended “clear responsibility by the companies and providers of hardware and software in this area”.
Chinese manufacturer Huawei has been accused of industrial espionage by the United States, but it has denied all the charges.
The U.S. administration has therefore been pressuring countries like Portugal to reject Huawei’s 5G technology, but the Portuguese government has played down the controversy.
Interesting to read ONLY about spying, and never about health risks. Because there are the REAL risks. Talking only about spying and security risks avoids addressing the real. risks. Sneaky strategy of Portugal government.
Have a look at the following link to get an impression of the real risk

And this link is quite sufficient to understand that we should NEVER allow 5G. Simply because there is not a good reason! (Filling the pockets of a few companies is NOT a good reason)

When I saw the headline I was glad, thinking the report was going to be about the potentially serious risks to human health and to wildlife from 5G, but I was disappointed to see the article was about security risks. I second what Rolf from Algarve has said.

Though I am late coming to this issue I am also disappointed that any study of the risks does not include that of the risk to human health, animal health and plant health. Perhaps Portugal News will run their own investigation and inform those who are concerned about where to seek (local) answers about the licencing and positioning of masts. Câmera maybe ?

So, so sad that we are going to be cooked in our beds by the rollout of the 5G killer grid here in Portugal. The EU gets the go ahead from the WHO who say 5G is safe and hence we are going to be subjected to vast amounts of 24/7 radiation... see ‘5G Apolcalypse - The Extinction Event’ documentary on YouTube to see what’s in store for us vulnerable humans...

2.4Giga hertz is microwave ovens. 5GB is 60giga hertz(GH). 60GH is the frequency of oxygen absorption in humans, it is also EMF weaponry military grade. Insurance companies in the USA do not insure against the effects of 5G damage. 5G also kills all beneficial micro organisms is the gut. does it then kill bees who are tiny and therefore more open to this military grade 60GH killer?

This is not a fair competition, everyone knows only Americans conducts wiretapping worldwied, and they even eavesdrop Merkel's phone. It is really a shame for European commision to buy into American's political propoganda.

I am disappointed that the Portuguese government is not considering the health of its people. I had heard it was high on the list of happy places in the world and was considering relocating. But not if 5G will be everywhere.....no choice is criminal, esp when the impact on our bodies is not up to us .... australia
