President of the Republic makes a lightning visit to Brava Island

"I have just visited Brava Island for a few hours, to see the damage caused by the landslides on the road that connects Nova Sintra to Fajã D'Água and to express my solidarity with the people of the island.

An opportunity to see the enormous losses suffered by the population of Fajã. There are ongoing investments, children could not reach schools and young people to Lyceum. The mobility of people and goods is absolutely impaired.

The Government and the local authority are already taking measures to mitigate the damage, but the seriousness of the situation and the morphology of the rocks demand large investments. The technicians consider the current road unfeasible, proposing an alternative route that connects Esperadinha to Palhal. I hope that solutions are found, as soon as possible, for the good of all."
