CVInterilhas: Unacceptable disrespect for Brava
The patience of the island of Brava has run out. CVInterilhas has once again shown a shocking lack of word and commitment to the people of Brava, pushing the population into an abyss of inconvenience and frustration. The trips scheduled for this weekend have been shamelessly postponed until July 8, creating a scenario of unacceptable chaos, especially for those who have international flights scheduled to the USA on the same date.
It has to be said in no uncertain terms: CVInterilhas has blatantly lied and continues to lie about the real situation of the ship Kriola. This attitude is not a mere slip of the tongue, but a reflection of the character of a company that prioritizes only its own pockets, completely ignoring the needs and well-being of the population it is supposed to serve. Brava Island is not, and never will be, garbage or a ping-pong ball to be played at the whim of CVInterilhas' selfish interests.
The consequences of this irresponsibility are visible and felt in every corner of the island. The shelves of commercial enterprises are empty, the population is disbelieving and exhausted, while CVInterilhas seems to be whistling to the side, indifferent to the suffering it is causing.
This abuse must stop. It is imperative that the Cape Verdean government takes drastic and urgent action in relation to CVInterilhas. It cannot be allowed that a company has a monopoly on an essential service and treats the population with such disrespect and lack of professionalism. Brava demands respect, demands commitment and demands that CVInterilhas be held accountable for its actions. No more abuse! The people of Brava deserve to be treated with dignity.
