This is a very important video not as much because of its content but of the host and channel. We consider it important enough to have made it an exception to our publishing scheduling.

The channel, Porto Canal, is a regional one, of the second largest city of Portugal: Porto.

This city is very regionally spirited, projected internationally by its prestigious and famous Port wine and it's very successful soccer club FC Porto.

The host, Luis Filipe Meneses (LFM), is a very important figure within the Partido Social-Democrata (PSD), one of the two rotating parties in power since the April Revolution of 1974. The other being Partido Socialista (PS).

PSD, led by Passos Coelho, is currently in power together with Paulo Porta's CDS/PP.

LFM was PSD's leader in 2007/2008.

As of 1997 until 2013 he was the Mayor of Porto's largest neighbouring city, Vila Nova de Gaia. This city, South of Porto, is where the Port Wine cellars are based.

LFM was PSD's candidate to be Porto's Mayor in 2013, an election he lost.

LFM has a weekly show in the Porto Canal called "A Opinião de Luís Filipe Menezes" ("The Opinion of Luís Filipe Menezes”) in which he's interviewed by the also very popular TV anchor, Julio Magalhães, who moved from TVI to this regional channel.

The fact that LFM, a very prominent political figure, invited Mr Amaral to speak about Maddie is relevant by itself.

LFM's questions to Mr Amaral indicate very clearly that he's not a subscriber of the official abduction thesis.

In terms of content, we would like to point out that Mr Amaral says, publicly, that at the time he was taken off the case, what was established between the PJ and the British police was to take the investigation towards the clarification of death and body occultation and no longer towards abduction.

He states that attached to the process in Portugal there are hair samples, that were returned by the UK to the PJ, that should be checked in terms of DNA but this is still to be done.

When LFM asks Mr Amaral if he thinks if ever the case will ever be solved, Mr Amaral answers saying that when there will be political courage, it will be solved.

thanks read the article on another thread, but Textusa has clearly indicated the importance of the host tv and its reach.  Now I understand why there is an article about the lone intruder and UK girls from 2007.

its on the thread Goncalso is looking good posted by Iris.

Here it is, there is another thread about it though. It's just silly nonsense
