"They continue to mock the City Council (of Figueira da Foz) and the private investors"

The complaints refer to the process of the Lagoa da Vela tourism project, which has been dragging on for almost 30 years. The article's title suggests that both the City Council of Figueira da Foz and the private investors continue to be the subject of frustration and indignation regarding the situation.

The complaints focus on the way the process has been conducted over the last three decades, showing a prolonged tug-of-war between the local authorities and the project developers. The excessive time devoted to this tourism project contrasts with the expectations initially created.

The situation at Lagoa da Vela represents an emblematic case of bureaucratic and administrative delay in a project that promised to bring economic and tourism development to the Figueira da Foz region. The accumulated frustration of all involved underscores the need for a definitive resolution of this process that has already lasted almost three decades.
