Gerry and Kate McCann, Maddie's parents, are travelling to Lisbon today
for meetings with their operational teams, namely their lawyer
Isabel
Duarte and their PR agency headed by
Claudia Nogueira.
The presence of the McCanns in Portugal comes just days after the
British couple launched an online petition to pressurise the Portuguese
and United Kingdom authorities to review the process of Maddie's
disappearance, in order to gather new elements that may allow its
reopening by the Public Ministry.
In coming to Lisbon, Gerry and Kate McCann are taking the opportunity to
give interviews to the media. At the end of the day, they are likely to
return to the town of Rothley, in northern England, where they live.
Madeleine disappeared on the night of 3rd May 2007 in
Praia da Luz,
Lagos, while her parents dined with friends at a
