New Right questions abandoned construction project in Jardim do Mar

The New Right party has raised questions about an abandoned construction project in Jardim do Mar, funded by European money.

The New Right party held an event in Calheta, attended by foreign investors, aimed at promoting investment in Madeira's culture and sustainable development.

During a visit to the Jardim do Mar promenade, the delegation encountered an abandoned construction project. Information suggests it was part of the parish's development and financed by European funds from the 2014-2020 framework.

Party coordinator Paulo Azevedo is questioning the use of invested funds, the reasons for the work stoppage, and accountability for execution and monitoring. The party plans to seek formal explanations from the Calheta Municipal Council and raise the issue with European authorities, advocating for a greater focus on Madeiran culture and heritage over excessive construction, and demanding transparency in fund usage.
