Olavo Câmara, mayor of Porto Moniz, accused the fund distribution system of being unequal, describing it as a disproportionate "game." The mayor claims that the criteria used for allocating funds are not equitable among municipalities.
The mayor argued that greater predictability is needed in the processes for distributing public funds. This predictability would allow municipalities to better plan their finances and investments in the medium and long term.
Câmara also emphasized the need for equity in access to available funds. The mayor believes that the current criteria penalize smaller municipalities, such as Porto Moniz, on the island of Madeira.
This complaint arises in the context of a broader claim by local municipalities that feel they are not being allocated a fair share of the available public resources for distribution.
