BE wants the Government to reassess the decision to extinguish Fundação António Aleixo

The deputy of the Left Bloc elected by Algarve Cecília Honório wants the Government to back down with the intention of extinguishing the António Aleixo Foundation (FAA), considering that the decision was based on false premises, for which the evaluators were informed in due time.

The deputy of BE questioned the Government about the intention to close the doors of the foundation headquartered in Loulé and the social consequences that come with it, revealed BE/Algarve.

Blocists argue that the FAA was "victim of the abuses and abuses that characterized the process of evaluating foundations" and that it was "wrongly evaluated as a public foundation under private law", despite the efforts of the Loulé municipality, when alerted to the error in filling in the evaluation form, in correcting the situation.

Thus, they defend that “the fair assessment of the António Aleixo Foundation and the restoration of damages caused by negligence or deficient application of criteria are justifiable”.

BE argued that “the social intervention of this institution is of inestimable value, especially when alarms in social institutions sound too often in the region of the country with the highest unemployment rate and victim of sudden impoverishment”.

«Performing highly relevant social functions in the municipality of Loulé, the FAA is an institution “that fulfills what the State should do and does not do”, having under its tutelage two crèches with 153 children, providing permanent support to 104 elderly people. , the promotion of the Food Bank, a solidarity clothing bank and a social space for the elderly», recalled the blockists.

In her intervention in Parliament, Cecília Honório demanded "that institutions that replace the State, in the implementation of relevant social support services, be safeguarded in the continuity of their functions and, in cases where the Government maintains its decision to extinguish, it must guarantee that the transfer of functions to another entity will not harm people who already benefit from the support provided».
