Through a press release sent to the editorial staff, PSD Madeira councilors to the Funchal City Council say they condemn the closure of the municipal company Frente MarFunchal, ”lamenting all the costs and inconveniences that result for their employees, suppliers, creditors and all users of bathing complexes and car parks under management ”. However, they are of the opinion that “the announced bankruptcy of the MarFunchal Front is just another proof of the incompetence and ineptitude of the socialist executive”.
“They express, in the first place, their total solidarity with the approximately 116 workers of the Frente MarFunchal and their families, warning the Funchal City Council to recognize all workers’ labor and pecuniary rights, the totality of their service time accumulated and initiates the quickest steps in the regularization of your professional and salary situation in the light of the legal provisions ”, they refer.
They say that “the company’s economic-financial unsustainability since 2014 and the current decision to dissolve are the exclusive responsibility of the socialist executive, an outcome to which the PSD Madeira Councilors have warned numerous times”.
“The people rightly say that“ there are no arguments against facts ”, so this bankruptcy was foreshadowed and unmasks the supposed“ good management ”and the alleged“ financial rigor of the accounts of the municipality and municipal companies ”, which are, after all, mere auctions. propagandized by the socialist executive of the Funchal City Council. In fact, it is opportune to question whether this is the good management that the people of Funchal want for their city ”, they maintain.
They add that “the announced bankruptcy of the Frente MarFunchal is just another proof of the incompetence and ineptitude of the socialist executive in the correct management of public funds and the manifest inability to provide the solutions that the City of Funchal needs, with transversal damage to all Funchal residents ”.
“The announced dissolution of the company is even more improbable considering that in 2019 there was an increase of almost 10% in the inflows of the bathing complexes, which exceeded 350 thousand for the first time and translated into increased revenues, as well as the very high annual financial contribution. from Funchal City Hall to Frente MarFunchal, either by directly funding investments in bathing infrastructures, or by having injected about 300 thousand euros directly through the purchase of tickets, having transferred an additional 340 thousand euros for labor compensation, having resigned , since 2018, 95% of parking meter revenues, in an annual value of more than 1 million euros, in addition to annually transferring a financial allocation to cover the losses recorded in the previous year ”, they point out.
They also add that “in this context, PSD Madeira councilors compel the socialist executive to stop hindering business and financial auditing – exempt and independent -, to the company Frente MarFunchal, approved in Funchal Municipal Assembly in 2019 by all the political forces represented ”.
“Finally, it is argued that the socialist executive and the company’s management should be held responsible until the last consequences, including at the legal and criminal level, not only for incompetent management since 2014, as well as for all the alleged infractions committed in the administration of municipal public resources ”, shoot as a conclusion.
