The mayor of Almada, Inês de Medeiros, of the Socialist Party, said this Monday that she did not mind going “tomorrow” to live in Bairro Amarelo, “with that wonderful view.”
The mayor intervened in the ordinary public meeting of the Câmara de Almada, in which the simplified alteration of the National Ecological Reserve in Porto Brandão (Trafaria, Caparica), in the Lazareto area, was approved.
Inês de Medeiros said she was working together with the IHRU (Institute of Housing and Urban Rehabilitation) to eliminate the “ghetto” aspect of the neighborhood, highlighting that “there are no territories for the rich and others for the poor”. He also praised the municipality he leads for the work it has done in rebuilding homes.
“Almada has the privilege of having social neighborhoods in absolutely wonderful spaces, with an envious view. Any social neighborhood on the north shore is jealous. Tomorrow I was going to live in Bairro Amarelo with that wonderful view, ”she said.
The mayor’s statement was criticized by Deputy Joana Mortágua, from the Bloco de Esquerda, on the social network Twitter. “The mayor of Almada thinks that the residents of the social neighborhoods are privileged by the ‘vista-rio’ and even says that she did not mind moving to Bairro Amarelo. This while justifying the approval of a 5-star hotel in Porto Brandão. Any comment is redundant, “wrote the deputy elected by Setúbal.
Bairro Amarelo is a social housing neighborhood located near Costa da Caparica. The PSP considered it a sensitive neighborhood due to its recurring crime problems.
