Chega Advocates for Return of Unused State Assets to Madeira and Azores
Madeira GuideChega has introduced a proposal urging the return of unused state-owned properties in Madeira and Azores to local governments for regional development.
The Chega party has taken a decisive step in the Portuguese Assembly of the Republic by submitting a proposal for the return of unused state-owned properties to the autonomous regions of Madeira and the Azores. The party argues that these assets, which have remained unused for decades, could significantly contribute to local development if handed over to regional authorities.
According to Chega, the unused properties and lands, currently owned by the state, represent a missed opportunity for addressing the housing shortages and enhancing public services in both Madeira and the Azores. The party believes that their proposal aligns with the regions' needs for economic valorization and sustainable development.
This initiative comes at a time when Madeira and the Azores are facing increased demand for housing and improved infrastructure to support their growing populations and tourism industry. By reallocating these unused assets, the regions could potentially unlock new opportunities for economic growth and community development.
Madeira, known for its stunning landscapes and vibrant culture, is a popular tourist destination, which adds pressure on local infrastructure and housing markets. Chega's proposal aims to alleviate some of these pressures by utilizing dormant state properties to meet local needs.
The proposal is expected to ignite discussions among policymakers and stakeholders in both regions, as it addresses the critical issue of property utilization and regional autonomy in managing local resources.
"These assets should be put to the service of regional development, housing, public services, and economic enhancement," stated a representative from Chega during the proposal's presentation.
