The organisers should be put in prison. I trust the police have identified them.

This has really screwed up all the hard work and sacrifice made by residents of the western algarve in past months. If I had the chance I would make these irresponsible idiots pay for the cleanup.

The people who allowed this to happen have ruined a beautiful towns reputation and the organisers of the party and the sports club deserve to be prosecuted.The Lagos economy was just starting to begin to recover and it has now virtually closed down again.

My Yacht survey business has necessitated cross border working and I hate to say that a big percentage people I have seen in France, Spain and Italy have dropped their guard with regard to distancing and mask wearing

Honte à ces organisateurs....

Its not a illegal party when organized. Of course the consenting organizers should be held responsible for not controlling the situation. And reporting it sooner. Even person who attended should be held responsible for failing to comply with the current rules. They are all accountable for the new spread naively thinking they were exempt from the guidelines putting in everyone at risk. A selfish act.

Very irresponsible of them. This part happened the same time our UK Prime Minister was deciding if Portugal should be open for travel. Because of the recent spread of virus in Lagos it was decided UK cant travel to Portugal. Easyjet is cancelling our flight! My family are heartbroken

These irresponsible people have cost local businesses millions of Euros now that UK people will be effectively unable to come to Portugal. The organisers and people responsible should be made to pay compensation. And be prosecuted.
