The 16 Algarvian mayors "do not trust or recognize the competence" of Tiago Oliveira to occupy such an important and fundamental position and therefore ask that the president of AGIF - Agency for the Integrated Management of Rural Fires resign, recognizing that he has no conditions to remain in office.
This strong position is assumed in a communiqué from the Intermunicipal Community of the Algarve (AMAL), sent this afternoon to the newsrooms.
In the statement, AMAL explains that "at stake are statements by the president of AGIF, yesterday, in the parliamentary committee on Agriculture and Fisheries", where he said that "there are municipalities spending half a million euros, a barbarity of money on firefighters, when not spend money managing the forest”.
For the municipalities of the Algarve, these words are «totally unacceptable and reveal that the president of AGIF, after several years in office, still does not know the reality of the sector», a situation that the Algarve mayors consider as «very serious and worrying» .
They understand, therefore, that «whoever demonstrates this level of ignorance cannot remain in office and does not serve the national purpose of better managing the territory and preparing it for the prevention and protection against rural fires».
