Caros Amigos / Dear Friends Para começar, feedback sobre as cartas enviadas a todos os presidentes de camâra no Algarve e de Odemira sobre a posição de cada um em relação à votação na AR sobre a saga da exploração de petróleo. As unicas respostas que recebemos foi de Aljezur e Lagos que se demonstram estar ainda contra. Do resto nem um pio :-( I'm starting by giving you feedback on the answers received from mayors in response to our questioning letter about the fact that the gov had not voted to stop any new oil exploration licences. Of all the mayors in Algarve (including Odemira) - only Aljezur & Lagos replied and reinforced their anti position. From the balance not a peep was heard :-( a very concerning action which places many questions on their real position and standing. Worrying to is the oil leak that happened in Peniche with major environmental contamination of sea and beaches (in PT) **************************************************************************** Now for the NEWS ASMAA launches business directory to boost local economy in Algarve and Alentejo https://tinyurl.com/y9ptjng6 Does your business qualify for a FREE listing?
