The local branch of Chega in Machico declared itself in solidarity with fishermen after the seizure of fish in Caniçal by the Maritime Authority. The political party publicly requested, this Tuesday, that the seized fish be returned to the vessel owner.
Chega de Machico considers that the seizure was unjust and argues that the products of fishing activity should not have been confiscated. The party's position comes as a reaction to what it classifies as an act harmful to the interests of professionals in the sector.
The Maritime Authority was the entity responsible for the seizure operation in Caniçal, a location known for its port and fishing activity on the island of Madeira. The party led locally by André Ventura commented on the case without revealing further details about the reasons invoked by the authorities for the seizure.
