Good news. A woman from Póvoa de Lanhoso, named Alice, moved by the eviction situation of an elderly couple living in Vieira do Minho, offered them a house so that they could live for free as long as they needed it.

A MINHO, the president of the Guilhofrei Board, the parish where the couple lived until this afternoon, after being evicted, indicates that the woman saw the right that the radio did Waves of Cabreira, this morning, and I was touched by the situation.

“The lady called the headquarters of the Board and offered to offer a free stay in a house with a son, located in the parish of Taíde, in Póvoa de Lanhoso, whenever the couple needed it,” said the mayor.

However, the ‘good news’ has not yet been communicated to the elderly, who are going to spend the night with a daughter in the municipality of Barcelos.

“I have not yet spoken with the family about this offer, it was even now at the end of the afternoon and I have not had the opportunity yet, but the offer is good because it allows them to stay there as long as necessary without any cost,” he explains.

Despite the offer, which José Fernando Castro describes as “a good option”, he is convinced that the couple prefers to continue living in Guilhofrei, a land where they have lived for several decades and where they “feel good.”

“Of course they wanted to stay in Guilhofrei, but anyway, we Board and the social action of the Chamber, we will try to find a house here for them to stay,” he assures.

“In principle, today or tomorrow, the family will see a house that is for sale and will find out if the owner can lease with an option to buy, so that the family can take out a loan to acquire it,” he explains.

If this is not possible, the municipality is trying to find other houses in the parish where the family can live, although they do not rule out Mrs. Alice’s offer to move to Póvoa de Lanhoso.

It is recalled that this family was today evicted from the house where they lived 27 years ago following a decision by the Braga court. Despite having acquired the house for 80 contos, in 1994 the purchase of the house was not communicated to the administrative entities, so now the heirs of the former owner, who died in 2001, want to enjoy the space.

This afternoon’s eviction ended up causing a great commotion among the inhabitants of that parish, causing the parish priest, Father Alcino Xavier da Silva, to confront the manifesto, appealing to the heirs so that the family could return “to what by right belongs to them. . ”.
