The Liberal Initiative has expressed its position on the potential classification of the Casa de Lourdes Castro, arguing that any decision in this regard must be accompanied by a concrete strategy for the property. The party considers that it is not enough to proceed with classification without a defined intervention plan.
According to IL's position, this concrete strategy should notably include a serious proposal to acquire the property from the current owner. The party believes it is necessary to resolve the ownership issue before moving forward with any classification.
Additionally, the Liberal Initiative argues that a credible project must be presented for the installation of a cultural facility dedicated to the legacy of the Madeiran artist Lourdes Castro. This would be the way to ensure that the classified property would effectively have relevant cultural use.
The party's position arises in the context of a broader debate about the future of the Casa de Lourdes Castro, with IL emphasizing that classification alone does not resolve the problems associated with the preservation and revitalization of this space.
