The takeover of Cabo Mondego was discussed, the proposal of which had already been postponed during the last session, when Pedro Santana Lopes interrupted work, annoyed by the kind of questions posed by the leader of the Socialist Council, Diana Rodrigues.
At the time of the interruption, the mayor said it would be without an appointment, but then one of the councilors informed the opposition that the suspension would be 30 minutes, albeit unsuccessfully, as the four elements of the PS and one of the PSD immediately left the City Hall building.
“The kind of questions that are being asked, I think, cross borders. There are a series of new questions, which will probably have to do with the replacements in the PS, where people don’t expect to have to take on this kind of responsibility.” responsibilities and that lead them to ask questions that should not be asked in a House meeting, such as who wrote the draft of a contract,” Santana Lopes told journalists.
The president of the municipality of Figueirense regarded what happened with the discussion of the takeover of Cabo Mondego as “very serious”, insisting that “he will not proceed with the proposal if the position of the Socialist Party is this”.
“I do not understand [o abandono da oposição] and the attitude speaks for itself in terms of respect for the community,” said Santana.
“As you remember, Carlos Monteiro [ex-presidente da Câmara e vereador socialista] he said several times that the PS supported the acquisition of Cabo Mondego and the loan and now they have seen what happened, with so many questions and so many doubts”.
Santana Lopes emphasized that the session was “agreed between those who want to sell and those who want to buy”, reiterating that when “the questions seem to translate a certain kind of conjecture, which is not understood, I think a level has been reached that one personally does not give in, because anything to do with personal and procedural fairness falls outside the permissible limits for any gathering”.
“I do not understand [o abandono da oposição] and the attitude speaks for itself in terms of respect for the municipality,” the mayor said, hoping that the parliamentary assembly “returns to normal and people handle things.”
“We don’t question anything or anyone and we don’t make a value judgment if we question it,” emphasized the PS council member.
Speaking to journalists, Councilor Diana Rodrigues said that the elected representatives of the PS are looking at the takeover of Cabo Mondego “with all the responsibility that the municipal exercise requires, since we are talking about a financial commitment of about two million euros”.
“And we feel we have a duty to clear up any doubts. It’s a complex process, which, in terms of land use planning, involves a series of constraints and constraints, so we have several questions from an administrative point of view that are legitimate “, he emphasized.
For the mayor, who spoke in favor of the takeover as it is an “absolutely strategic” point for the municipality, “it is healthy for the opposition to ask questions, to clarify, even so that citizens themselves understand exactly what is going on being done. discussed”.
According to Diana Rodrigues, the PS “has nothing to resist [à aquisição]on the contrary, it must be done in a way that is more beneficial, transparent and clear as possible and that safeguards the interest of the municipality across the board, that is the only concern’ of the party.
PSD alderman says the mayor has suspended work “aggressively and indefinitely”.
“We don’t question anyone or anything, and we don’t make a value judgment if we question that,” emphasized the counsel, who found the president’s “excessive attitude and motivations” incomprehensible.
The only PSD council member, Ricardo Silva, emphasized that the meeting will continue “take place within democratic normality” when the mayor suspended work “aggressively and indefinitely”, so Santana Lopes is responsible for the episode.
