«The policy followed by PS, which with an absolute majority in 2 years, and always with the favorable background positions of PSD, CDS, CH and IL, has dragged the region towards the bottleneck of the economic development model – tourism, which As a result of exploitation and low wages, it does not allow it to take off from the last places in poverty rates and other factors of social exclusion», the note reads.

«It is not by transferring burdens and responsibilities to municipalities, which are the Government's obligation, in a logic of underfunding, that problems in Health, Education or Social Security can be resolved. It is not by reinforcing the CCDR and eliminating several Regional Directorates, concentrating powers, that we move towards true decentralization, postponing the regionalization process to the calendar, as determined by the Constitution», he continues.
