Azorean government monitors the situation of parishes affected by bad weather in Ponta Delgada
The Regional Government of the Azores is monitoring the situation in the parishes of Ponta Delgada affected by the bad weather and defining “the beginning of several interventions”, with priority for Arrifes and Capelas
The Azorean executive has been monitoring the situation in the various parishes in the municipality of Ponta Delgada affected, this winter, by bad weather, working closely with local authorities. The parishes of Arrifes, Feteiras, Candelária, Ginetes, Mosteiros, Sete Cidades, Pilar da Bretanha, Ajuda da Bretanha, Remédios, Santa Bárbara, Santo António and Capelas were affected by the weather.
The Government of the Azores is defining the beginning of several interventions, with priority for the parishes of Arrifes and Capelas, for the next few days.
The remaining parishes in the municipality of Ponta Delgada affected by the bad weather are in the recovery phase and are requiring small interventions to restore cleanliness and safety conditions.
Elements from the regional directorates of Public Works, Forestry Resources, Territorial Planning and Water Resources, the Agrarian Development Service of São Miguel, the Regional Institute of Planning of the Azores and the Municipal Civil Protection Service have been on the ground, “in a joint work with Ponta Delgada City Council.
Police hold new protest with vigil at Ponta Delgada airport.
Agents from the Public Security Police (PSP) and the National Republican Guard (GNR), to be joined by prison guards, will return to the protests in São Miguel, this time through a vigil to take place in the middle of the month, at the Airport John Paul II, which should be a few hundred elements.
The choice of the airport follows the option followed at national level by the platform of PSP unions and GNR associations, having been made strategically to reinforce the “media coverage” around the fight for a supplement identical to that attributed to the Judiciary Police (PJ).
The vigil could bring hundreds of unhappy people to Ponta Delgada airport, like what happened with the day of struggle that took place at the end of January, therefore admitting “constraints” in terms of traffic and parking, in addition to passenger movement being affected.
