Liberal Initiative wants a working group that brings together 16 Algarve chambers in support of Ukraine

«There is now political will at the regional level and we will have in the Algarve an example to follow for the whole country»

The Territorial Nucleus of Faro from the Liberal Initiative (IL) proposed to AMAL – Intermunicipal Community of the Algarve that a working group be created to bring together the 16 chambers of the region in support of Ukraine. IL also wants to create an accommodation grant and a single reception point for refugees.

In a note sent to AMAL, the Liberal Initiative considers that it is possible to «go further in aid», joining the «efforts of the 16 municipalities».

«The Algarve responded in an extraordinary way and, from the very beginning, organized humanitarian aid to provide essential goods and transport for the Ukrainian people. In this context, the Municipal Councils have also made numerous efforts to articulate the necessary support. However, we are witnessing a segregation and defragmentation of the strength of the Algarve and the Algarve into sixteen tiny pieces», they say.

The IL wants to meet, «in contact with the Ukrainian entities, all the real needs, of those who are there, those who are here and those who will come here».

Coordinating, with each of the municipalities, the collection of goods, then centralizing the shipment at a single point is another of the measures defended by the Liberal Initiative.

Added to this is the coordination of transport for Ukrainian citizens, bringing together the availability of each municipality to participate in a column of buses that would make the journey together.

As for the single reception point, defended by IL, the idea is that it would have translators, psychologists, lawyers, medical and civil protection personnel, also adding entities such as SEF, IEFP and Social Security.

“There is national political will. There is a will of local civil society. There is now political will at the regional level and we will have in the Algarve an example to follow for the whole country in terms of the coordination of operations and the reception of refugees», concludes this political party.
