 So, welcome to Portugal, welcome to our Harm Reduction International 26th. And thank you very much, Naomi, for your words. The only thing I can say is that I have gained a friend. And that's not something that we can despise on. And the thing that I also can tell you about Naomi Buxhain is that she is a remarkable person and that we, people from Harm Reduction Community, we are in a very safe hands. So please, an applause to Naomi. Sorry for breaking down the protocol. Now I want to thank and say that I feel quite honourable and proud to have the presence of the High Commissioner, Michel Vachler, with us. This is a huge privilege. Thank you very much. To have the presence of our former president, George Sampaio, once president, always president, the man that was very important for our decimation law here in Portugal. I want to thank you also to Raquel, to the MPs, the Honourable MPs from the Parliament, Professor Alexandre Quintanilla and Ricardo Batista-Leite. I want to thank you very much our Mayor of Porto for under us with his presence. And of course, I want to thank the Portuguese President of the Truck Users Union, Rui Quimra. So thank you very much for being here. And I was talking about friendship and actually I am going to change a little bit my few words. I only have more four or five minutes, I believe. First I would start to say that decimization in Portugal was based, was designed based on humanism, political courage, evident space, pragmatism and participation. These principles fit quite well as a mirror with harm reduction principles. As all of us, we know that. But we need more than principles. We need, when we talk about political courage, we need someone like the former president of the George Sampaio, capable to lead a process, to be capable to stand and fight against the opponents that have a different idea, a different ideology about drug policy on those times in Portugal. And we need someone that is capable to sign the final document and to put it as a legal one and start to create a new regulation, a new normative. So I feel so proud and inspired with this political courage of our former president, George Sampaio. And I want to thank you in a very special way because of that. Thank you very much, Mr. President. I also want to thank you, a man that sometimes behaves a little bit like an anonymous person in the issue of decimization in Portugal. I'm referring to a great scientist, a leader, a man capable to deal and lead a bunch, people like that, of experts and egos that 20 years ago were designing and setting up our Portuguese model. I'm referring to Professor Elshan Quintanilla that is not an expert on drugs policy, but he has a huge quality besides his intelligence. He's a humane person and is someone capable to understand the others and mainly someone capable to establish bridge where we can come and communicate and put our ideas on the table. So thank you very much for your good work, Professor Elshan Quintanilla. It was amazing what you have done 20 years ago, amazing. And I'm describing this to know humanistic parts of Professor Elshan Quintanilla, but I can't tell you this is a real brilliant mind in science. So it's someone that likes to be guide by the rationality in not only emotions. And of course I want to thank you to our Health Secretary of State, Dr. Raquel Duarte, that was someone that was a kind of Campingot de Routes, because she started working with us almost 20 years ago on the ground as a physician and implementing one of the first methadone programs, low threshold with a safe doses of 30%. And it was capable to receive an European Best Award from WHO because of the boundaries that was pushing forward on those times. It was a low threshold program where peers had a word where they can say if the methodology was okay or not okay. So thank you very much, Raquel, for that. And two minutes more and I will finish. When we talk about principles of the law and when we talk about principles of harm reduction, maybe and when we talk about practices and action on the ground, maybe we need to talk about consistency. How can the law be translated to a practice that somehow respects the values that are implicit in that law? And I think that something that we have learned in Portugal is that the people, they make the difference. They are the people that are capable to implement the law. But for that we need to open a room so that people can be a part of that kind of action in implementation. Saying this, I want to underline the work that people from CASO, Drug Users Union, the work that the community of harm reduction professionals in Portugal is being doing, the work of professionals coming from the state that are doing, still doing, in the field of drug policy and harm reduction. And tell you a final story about how the consistency of the implementation of a law is so important for us and can make the difference. So two years ago in Portugal, five, six NGOs decided to fight no more, decided we need to share our resources, we need to share our knowledge, we need to share our vision about harm reduction. And we need to do that to implement and design a project of DCR in Portugal, of Drug Consumption Room. And for that we also invited Oporto University because we needed evidence and we needed evaluation. And of course we invited the Portuguese Drug Users Union in the person of Huy Quimre. And since then, since the last two years, we designed a project. We present the project to our national government, the department CICAD. We present it to the municipality of Oporto and we present to the health regional department. And for me, the beautiful thing of this was that everyone from professionals, to researchers, to decision makers and drug users or people using drugs, real people have a final word, have a statement capable to be included in our regional strategy or city strategy for DCR. So I believe that it's probably possible DCR in Portugal if it goes forward, it will be a good example of collaboration and dialogue is essential when we want to implement harm reduction strategies. Because if we have a DCR that was not negotiated, that was not based on dialogue between different stakeholders, we don't have anything. We only have a machine of control. And I believe if this DCR maybe, I don't know, in the future could be a possibility in Portugal that will be so because of the dialogue that was the basis of everything. So with that, I leave a challenge to our mayor, the Honorable Rui Moreira, to accept it or not the project that civil society has designed in the dialogue basis. Thank you very much. Dr. Rui Moreira, mayor of Oporto.
