PS questions Government about lack of support for the Cavalhadas de Vildemoinhos

Diário de Viseu10 September 2026 at 12:30

The Socialist Party questioned the Government about the lack of support for the Cavalhadas de Vildemoinhos, an equestrian tradition of the region. The question was raised after Turismo do Centro decided not to allocate any funding to this event.

According to the available information, the decision not to support the Cavalhadas was reportedly communicated on the same day, without any additional justification being given regarding the criteria used for this choice.

The Cavalhadas de Vildemoinhos are a cultural and traditional manifestation of the Central Portugal region, whose continuity may be threatened by the lack of public support.

The Socialist Party thus intends to obtain clarification from the executive on the reasons that led to the exclusion of this event from the support granted by Turismo do Centro.
