Right of reply: "Parking and neglect in maintenance: new urban center betrays small traders", published on August 31, 2026

Mário Passos, president of the Municipal Council of Vila Nova de Famalicão, exercised the right of reply to a news article published on August 31, 2026 by the Public Opinion Newspaper and FAMA TV, in which small traders criticized the requalification of the urban center, alleging lack of parking and neglect in maintenance. The mayor categorically denied that the works eliminated hundreds of parking spaces, stating that the requalification regularized and reorganized approximately 300 spaces in Praças D. Maria II and Mouzinho de Albuquerque, plus another 160 spaces next to CESPU. Passos also defended that the challenges of traditional commerce are not a consequence of urban renewal and that the municipality has actively supported local commerce, highlighting the growth of electronic payments processed by SIBS in recent years (from €102M in 2023 to €126M in 2025).
