The Liberal Initiative (IL) considered that any eventual classification of the house of Madeiran artist Lourdes Castro, located in Caniço, must be accompanied by a concrete strategy for the property. The party understands that it is necessary to move forward with a serious acquisition proposal to the current owner, as well as present a credible project for the installation of a cultural facility dedicated to the artist's legacy.
The position was stated through a press release signed by deputy Gonçalo Maia Camelo, who represented the IL on this matter. The party highlighted that it is not enough to merely proceed with the classification of the property, and that it is essential to define an action plan that allows for its effective valorization.
Lourdes Castro is a renowned artist native to Madeira, whose work deserves to be preserved and promoted. The Liberal Initiative emphasized the importance of ensuring that the classification, if it materializes, results in practical measures that guarantee public access to the artist's work and memory.
