The family of Ana Paula Lopes, one of the victims of the derailment that occurred in Glória a year ago, is demanding €1.075 million from Carris. In addition to compensation, they are seeking a formal apology from the transport company.

The family's lawyer states that the compensation offer made by the insurer associated with the incident was deemed 'irreconcilable.' This position has been reiterated in various reports about the situation.

The lawyers are pressing Carris to acknowledge its responsibility and to apologize for the tragedy that resulted in the death of 16 people. So far, the company has not commented on the request.

The accident in which Ana Paula Lopes lost her life remains a sensitive topic, and the lack of an apology from Carris has generated discontent among the victims' families.
