Leiria's City Council President launches book about Kristin that is "a kind of catharsis"

Gonçalo Lopes, the Mayor of Leiria, is set to release a book titled "Kristin - Os dias que mudaram Leiria" on November 21. The book reflects on his personal experiences during the Kristin depression and the subsequent months, serving as a form of catharsis. Lopes emphasizes the need to document the intense challenges faced, including difficult decisions made without complete information. The narrative aims to preserve memories and provide insights into leadership during crises. He acknowledges the lasting impacts of the disaster on the community and stresses the importance of cooperation in disaster response. Proceeds from the book will support reforestation efforts in Leiria.
