Your post only reveals the true desperation of the mccann supporter.
Haven't used got it yet.
The Portuguese only reopened the investigation because of political pressure.
They know the SY 'investigation' is going nowhere.
One good thing, is you said vanished, not 'abducted'.
So progress has been made.
What a shallow post; re-opening Madeleine McCann’s case was a sovereign decision taken by the Portuguese and why you object so much to the renewed hope for a missing little girl’s case to be resolved must remain a matter for your own conscience.
However yet again you have made statements without any corroboration; in my own case you imply that my use of “vanished” as opposed to “abducted” is misleading as you know perfectly well I believe Madeleine was “abducted” “kidnapped” “snatched” “stolen” “missing” but most certainly taken by a stranger.
However I am glad that my use of a particular word is pleasing to you, just don’t attempt to make it say something it is not.
Secondly in relation to the new PJ investigation you say “political pressure” again without corroboration.
In democracies it is absurd to suppose the police act in isolation of politicians, but I can give you a cite that at least one Portuguese politicians had no idea what the PJ were doing re Madeleine’s case.
Your turn … give me a source to support your statement.

BBC PANORAMA -
RICHARD BILTON: We understand that in the Algarve there has been some low level animosity at the arrival of British officers. Operation Grange has no jurisdiction in Portugal and only the Portuguese can re-open the case so much of the British work over the last year has been spent reassuring their colleagues here that its a joint effort. But just last month the idea that the Portuguese themselves would have a case review was unheard of.
SANDRA FELGUEIRAS: Madeleine McCann case now in Portugal is a file that is closed. Its an old story, a closed story. We don’t have any news about it. The last information I got this morning from our Public Prosecutor was that even knowing that you in UK are trying to solve the case again with Scotland Yard, with the Scotland Yard as an investigatiion, they are telling here in Portugal that there’s no investigation, that they are not going to re-open the case.
RB: Is there a review of the case here in Portugal?
CARLOS ANJOS: (translated) No, no I don’t think so. I think its too delicate to roll. It calls into question the reputation of the police and I don’t thing the Chief of Police would risk it.
RB: It was only while we were in Portugal that things began to change. We contacted a well-known politician here, Ana Maria Gomes, to get her to ask questions.
ANA MARIA GOMES: According to the information I got the Portuguese Police is also conducting a review.
RB: Who told you there is a Portuguese review then?
ANA MARIA GOMES: I called the Director of the National Criminal Police. His deputy told me that. Its a review of the procedures that were followed in the investigation.
RB: Why does nobody here in Portugal know about this review?
ANA MARIA GOMES: Well, I don’t know. Public opinion here in Portugal now is so upset and concerned with the economic crisis and its job destruction and so on but this is a very important case, first and foremost to find out what happened to Madeleine and to make sure that the Portuguese justice and political system is properly seen outside of Portugal.
RB: Within a week of our interview the Portuguese Police finally confirmed that a team based in the northern city of Porto, well away from the original investigation, has been reviewing the case for the last year.
UNNAMED PT SPOKESMAN: (translated) A network has been carried out discreetly and it will continue to be carried out discreetly.
