Miguel Castro criticizes abandonment of Porto Santo's José Lino Pestana Sports Complex

Deputy Miguel Castro, a native of Porto Santo, expressed concern over the current condition of the José Lino Pestana Sports Complex, located near his parents' home.

Castro recalled a time when the island lacked sports facilities and praised José Lino Pestana's role in promoting sports.
