Pina accuses former executive of leaving projects for Faro without conditions to proceed

Barlavento8 September 2026 at 08:57

The mayor of Faro, Rogério Bacalhau, accused the former municipal executive of having left projects without conditions to move forward and of having caused a breach with FAGAR of about two million euros per year. These statements were made during an ordinary session of the Municipal Assembly of Faro.

According to Bacalhau, the municipality faced significant inherited financial difficulties, which limited the capacity for developing new projects in the city. The breach situation with FAGAR, a municipal waste management company, represented a structural problem that needed to be resolved.

The mayor highlighted that the financial situation left by the former executive created obstacles to the execution of planned construction works and investments for the municipality. Waste management through FAGAR was one of the areas most affected by this financial non-compliance situation.

This accusation arises in the context of a transfer of power between municipal executives, with the current president pointing to responsibilities for the difficulties encountered in the governance of Faro. The article refers to a Municipal Assembly session where these issues were publicly discussed.
