The Left Bloc questioned the Environment Minister about the potential benefits for the region from the kaolin mine project in Peniche. The party wants to know what benefits this infrastructure could bring to the local population and to the economic development of the area.

The question was directed specifically to the Environment Minister, requesting clarification on the environmental and social impact of the project. The Left Bloc shows concern about the implications that mining activity of this nature may have on the territory.

The kaolin mine project for Peniche appears as a potential investment in the region, but raises questions about sustainability and long-term effects. The party intends to ensure that any economic development is balanced with environmental preservation and the well-being of local communities.
