The Government of the Azores promised today that the ordinance with support for fishermen due to the implementation of protected marine areas will be published shortly. This promise comes after the Socialist Party demanded the payment of funds to professionals in the sector.
According to the Regional Executive, the entire process is closed and the ordinance will be published "within very little time," depending only on European Union authorization to proceed.
The announcement aims to respond to criticisms that Azorean fishermen have been harmed by the creation of protected marine areas in the region, without having received in time the promised support to compensate for restrictions on fishing activity.
The content of the article indicates that the Azorean newspaper that published the news expects the ordinance to be published shortly, ending a tug-of-war between the Regional Government and fishermen in the autonomous region.
