The suspension of treatments at the Thermal Hospital since August 20th has generated a political crisis at the city council. PSD demands clarification about what went wrong with the interventions carried out.

The Social Democratic party wants details about the works on the AC2 drilling, which began on August 5th. These works were reportedly behind the temporary closure of the thermal hospital.

The situation caused political tension between the parties represented at the council, with PSD pressuring for answers about the circumstances that led to the interruption of the thermal treatment services.

Residents and patients of the hospital are awaiting answers about when treatments can resume, while the municipal opposition demands accountability for how the situation was managed.
