Albuquerque Urges Lisbon to Unblock Travel Reimbursements

Miguel Albuquerque confirmed that the Regional Government continues to pressure the Republic's Executive to resolve delays in the operationalization of the Territorial Mobility Mechanism platform.

The issue was directly addressed with Prime Minister Luís Montenegro, after the Minister of Infrastructure distanced himself from responsibility. According to Albuquerque, technical difficulties stem from adapting the platform to new legislation recently approved.

Albuquerque assured that all reimbursements will be paid and that the Prime Minister is aware of the situation, although no concrete deadlines for resolution were discussed, aiming to solve it "as quickly as possible."
