Andrea Silva proposes extinction of Varzim Lazer with integration of workers in the City Council

The president of the Póvoa de Varzim City Council, Andrea Silva, announced that she will propose the extinction of the municipal company Varzim Lazer at the executive meeting on August 31st, guaranteeing the integration of workers into the local authority. The mayor explained that a new court ruling now allows for safeguarding this integration, something that was not possible before. The decision comes after intense local political debate, including an open letter from Aliança Poveira and a request for exoneration of the Board of Directors by CHEGA, which is part of the company's management. Aliança Poveira criticized the measure, stating that legal mechanisms for worker integration already existed. Andrea Silva defended that the priority was always the defense of jobs and the labor stability of employees.
