It was after announcing that the São Vicente seafront project is counting down to begin, a project much contested by associations linked to the defense of the environment, that the president of the Regional Government attacked those who oppose the development that the its executive intends to promote.
“Everything that is done in Madeira seems controversial”, he said, followed by a list of criticisms of what he called “political motivations” with the sole intention of blocking procedures and with the aim of “wearing out government chambers and decisions”, he observed. .
Miguel Albuquerque also gave the example of the road section that the government has planned for Ginjas ao Paul da Serra, another project that in his opinion aims to safeguard environmental heritage, referring to the entire Laurissilva forest cover.
Albuquerque also classified as “old people of Restelo” those who “don’t want to change anything and for them we continued with the royal paths and taking people in networks and carrying the products on their backs”.
“The process is still stuck there, as is usually the case with all legal processes in Portugal”, he criticized the slowness of the courts, a delay that according to the government official disrespects the popular will that wants the work to be carried out.
