MEP Marisa Matias, elected by the Left Bloc and who will be, this year, head of the list of BE in the European Elections, will be in Algarve this weekend, for four different events in Sotavento.
Marisa Matias starts on Saturday, February 22, at 9:30 am, in Olhão, next to Mercados, for a street show with advertising distribution and contact with the population.
At 11:30 am, the Blocist MEP heads to Ilha da Culatra, for a meeting with the Association of Residents of Ilha da Culatra, shellfish producers and shellfish producers, where the main theme will be the pollution of the Ria Formosa.
“Pollution in the Ria Formosa – a problem that has dragged on by successive governments – continues to lack concrete answers for its resolution. The immediate consequence is the destruction of essential natural resources that generate the family economy. Only recently, the community of shellfish producers, shellfish gatherers and the population of Olhano came out against yet another serious constraint, which is for many the only form of subsistence: the reclassification of shellfish production zones to classes where incomes are strongly reduced by way of a lower quality product or by greater investment in production», highlights BE, in a press release.
At 17:00, Marisa Matias heads to Tavira, for a public session on the theme “What has to change in the Europe of citizens”, which will take place at the café/bar Almariado, located in Rua Borda D'água da Asseca.
“The European crisis is an economic and political crisis, but also a crisis of enthusiasm. Today, more and more European citizens are looking at the European Project with distrust or dismay. The far right is growing throughout Europe, adding to its xenophobic agenda a social agenda that fills the most serious void in European construction and exploiting the social consequences of the liberal bias”, stresses the BE.
"A citizens' Europe must be made by the citizens, and, with a calendar centered on the design of European institutions that aim to achieve a European social model and economic cooperation that is the engine of development", therefore, "knowing that this process must be the opposite of what European integration has been until today, it is necessary to debate and know who are the protagonists and the mechanisms for the necessary change».
Finally, on Sunday, February 23, at 10 am, there will be a “Coffee with Marisa Matias – BE Eurodeputy”, at the Portas do Céu pastry shop, in Loulé.
The theme “Europe – global decisions, local effects” will be debated, and the objective will be to “reflect on the decisions of Europe and their implication in the life of each one of us, of each place – the decision process outside democratic control , the directives and regulations that benefit one over the other, the imbalance in the implementation of the pillars of the Union in benefit of the financial dimension. The disaster that has been for Portugal and for the life of the Portuguese the policy of the “good student”».
