The More Santa Cruz Coalition, led by the PSD, has publicly accused the JPP municipal executive of "incompetence" and of shirking responsibility for resolving issues in the municipality.
The main criticism concerns the state of the Cristo Rei monument, where the opposition claims the solution for its recovery lies with the local council, which has received a private investment project.
Opposition councilors refute accusations of dishonesty made by the council and demand that the Municipal Chamber decide on the private proposal, instead of blaming the Regional Government, criticizing the JPP for "whining" after 13 years in office.
