The Chega local branch in Machico stated, this Tuesday, its solidarity with the fishermen following the seizure of fish in Caniçal carried out by the Maritime Authority. The party considered the seizure unjust and asked that the seized fish be returned to the shipowner.
According to the reference indicated in the article, the operation resulted in the detection of 2,011 kilos of undeclared gilled tuna in Caniçal. Chega de Machico argues that the shipowner was subjected to a seizure that it considers to be unjustified.
The party also directed criticism at the timing chosen for the operation, although the article text appears incomplete and it is not possible to identify the specific reasons given for that criticism.
