Independents invoke Forum Madeira case to call for greater rigor in urban planning

The independent councilors at the Funchal Municipal Council, Luís Filipe Santos and Jorge Afonso Freitas, appealed this Friday to the judicial process involving the Forum Madeira construction works to call for greater rigor in urban planning enforcement and the issuance of usage licenses. The two councilors mentioned this historic case to reinforce their arguments during a meeting of the municipal executive. The use of this example aims to demonstrate the importance of stricter supervision of construction activities in the region. The independent councilors argue that past mistakes should not be repeated and that it is necessary to ensure greater transparency and rigor in the municipal licensing processes.
