Summary:

  • Ricardo Leão advocates for evicting tenants involved in recent disturbances.

  • The proposed plan addresses school meal debts in Loures.

  • Leão has previously suggested cutting social benefits for those in debt to the municipality.

Controversy in Loures

The controversy in Loures escalated when Ricardo Leão, the mayor, defended the idea of evicting tenants from municipal housing who participated in disturbances that led to the burning of buses, cars, and garbage bins in the past two weeks in the Lisbon metropolitan area. This statement has sparked significant public debate.

In previous instances, Leão has also expressed his views on cutting social support and other benefits for individuals who have debts to the municipality, raising concerns about the implications for vulnerable populations.

As the Municipal Assembly of Loures prepares to vote on a proposal regarding the regularization of school meal debts, the community is watching closely to see how these issues will unfold. The proposal aims to address the financial burdens faced by families while balancing the municipality's fiscal responsibilities.
