Mértola: Coalition makes a negative assessment of the 1st year of Mário Tomé’s term.


The United Coalition for Mértola and the People makes a very negative assessment of the first year of Mário Tomé's term as mayor of Mértola.

In a statement, the Coalition United for Mértola and the People (CUpMpP) which in the municipal elections was led by Jorge Pulido Valente, justifies that the analysis of information and data from a year of exercising the position of president, “it is enough to confirm what this movement of independent citizens claimed regarding the lack of preparation and leadership capacity of Mário Tomé to govern the Chamber of Mértola and respond to the problems of the municipality”.

I do not document CUpMpP, maintains that “the truth, the absence of strategy, the lack of planning and the inability to act to respond to the needs and requests of citizens and entities are the notes that dominate the results of the evaluation carried out”, define the Executive of the Chamber of Mértola

To CUpMpP, “ill-structured and disorganized services, lack of technical and operational personnel due to the loss of senior staff, absence of recognized leaders, reluctance to inform and involve employees and poor definition of priorities resulted in a sharp and growing reduction in the municipality’s capacity for intervention and action”, Remata.

Despite a more than comfortable budget (around 27 million euros more 10 million from the balance of the previous year) “the executive was not able to move forward with either the structuring projects or the works promised in the previous term (with the exception of the building for the Mértola Biological Station)", justifies the Coalition.

“Also with regard to the exercise of democracy and citizenship, the assessment is extremely negative, taking into account that, with an absolute majority in the chamber, a worsening of the socio-political environment, with discrimination and, in some cases even persecution, to all those who publicly express their disagreement with party political guidelines and options regarding municipal management and intervention”, Remata, ensuring that in a face-to-face and online event, CUpMpP, will openly and further analyze and discuss all data and information collected.
