The PAN denounced today before the court the “alleged breach” of a judicial decision of the Viana do Castelo City Council, which cut the throat at least 10 bananas in Darque and claims to have legitimacy for it.
“The PAN filed a lawsuit today before the Administrative and Tax Court of Braga with a view to denouncing the alleged breach of the Viana do Castelo Chamber, which today proceeded to sacrifice at least a dozen bananas despite that act [o abate] if it is suspended by the judicial body, “says the party in a note sent to newsrooms today.
Questioned today by the Lusa agency, the mayor of Viana do Castelo José Maria Costa, rejected any breach, claiming that the reasoned resolution presented by the municipality before the court invoking the public interest of the contract “legitimizes the execution of the works, immediately ”. .
At stake is the slaughter of 30 of the 170 plane trees along the 628 meters of Avenida do Cabedelo, in the parish of Darque, for the construction of a roundabout, planned for the last phase of access to the city’s seaport.
The construction of the roundabout has stopped since September 11.
It was initially seized by residents of that avenue who, however, reached an agreement with the municipality.
In October, the PAN advanced a precautionary measure with the Administrative and Fiscal Court of Braga (TAFC) to stop the cutting of those copies.
The mayor of Viana do Castelo said that, “given the importance of the work and its public interest, the municipality of Viana do Castelo has advanced a reasoned resolution of public interest, by virtue of the provisions of article 128 of the Code of Procedure in the Administrative Courts ”.
“This fact was communicated, on November 12, to the plaintiff, the PAN, his legal representative, the contractor and the TAF of Braga, and that it legitimizes the execution of the works immediately,” he reinforced.
The PAN, in the note sent to the editorial offices today, said “I cannot find a justification and an ethical-legal explanation for the actions carried out today by the Chamber of Viana do Castelo.”
“Despite the legal provisions, it decided to proceed to slaughter at least a dozen bananas, without even waiting, as required by law, for the court order,” explained Inês de Sousa Real, a member of the PAN’s national political commission. . in the note.
For the person in charge, “the autarky understood, making its own and biased interpretation of the law, to go ahead without the court having ruled until today on the object of the lawsuit.”
“It is a serious violation of the law and of the respect that autarky must show before the appeal of any entity before the courts. The PAN can not only agree with this type of action, which represents a lack of respect for the judicial institutions, but also for the citizens who, in the most diverse ways, have risen up against this decision of the council ”, he adds.
The party adds that “everything will be done in the sense that there is accountability for the act, which puts economic interests before the protection of the grove.”
The construction of the road accesses to the seaport began in February 2019. The new 8.8-kilometer-long accesses, claimed for more than four decades, will have two 3.5-meter-wide carriageways, and will involve an investment of more than nine million euros.
The work is financed by the Chamber of Viana do Castelo and by the Administration of the Ports of Duero, Leixões and Viana do Castelo (APDL).
