Ourique: Appeal states that “justice done. The truth finally restored”, on licensing of Montaraz.
O Administrative and Fiscal Tribunal (TAF) Beja judged the action totally unfounded, acquitting the Municipality of Ourique and Montaraz company Garvão. The sentence was handed down in the past day 27 February and released yesterday by the House of Ourique.
In a statement the Municipality of Ourique revealed that TAF Beja, It upheld the city council about the licensing process Montaraz Factory, in Garvão.
In the document the City Council chaired by Marcelo Guerreiro, holds that: “The future of any territory is built with political options that, going far beyond the day-to-day, sow the seeds for creating job opportunities, development and affirmation of local identity. The defense of the public interest does not always have the individual contribution of all, even if there are those who try to hinder the ambition for a better future”.
From 2005, when the city government then chaired by Dr. Pedro do Carmo took office for the first time, and decided to unconditionally support the Montaraz de Garvão project, many were the lies disclosed about the alleged illegality of the licensing process for the installation of the industrial unit in Garvão.
All, in an attempt, lightly, which proved futile, to attack credibility, prestige and confidence of the executive body, and against the dignity and honor of its representatives.
It is recalled that the prosecutor filed, in July 2008, an administrative action against the Municipality of Ourique and Montaraz de Garvão, challenging the acts of municipal licensing of the industrial unit in Garvão, following an unfounded participation by the then deputy to the Municipal Assembly, Sr. Adolfo Vitorino, for which several PSD witnesses were listed.
From the start, the City Council and its President, stated, with serenity and confidence, the absolute legality of all acts performed.
The licensing process for Montaraz de Garvão's industrial establishment, that had already been scrutinized by the administrative authorities, was thoroughly scrutinized by the judicial authorities.
Even the public prosecutor, in headquarters of closing arguments, reviewed its position, having ended up recognizing and adopting the defended understanding, since always, by the City Council and Montaraz de Garvão, in the sense of the absolute legality of all acts performed by the executive led by Dr. Pedro do Carmo.
The sentence, although late, It was delivered last day 27 Feb.. The Beja Administrative and Tax Court dismissed the action as totally unfounded, acquitting the Municipality of Ourique and Montaraz company Garvão. Justice has finally been served. The truth, finally restored.
The Montaraz industrial unit Garvão, and everything it represents in terms of job creation, of tax revenue, fixing the local population, and Ourique's international affirmation as the Capital of the Alentejo Pig are, today, more than ever, A reality.
The outcome expected by those who work with Ourique and Ouriquenses in mind serves as a lesson for those who think that the attempt to achieve some ends justifies the use of all means.
The commitment of the City Council and its President to Ouriquenses, investors, associations and other entities committed to building remains unshakable. The construction of Ourique's future continues!
How policy will continue for people, the valorization of the territory and the affirmation of Ourique Capital do Porco Alentejano.
Pedro do Carmo, former president of the municipality, talks that : “There was justice to Ourique and Montaraz”.
I have just been informed of the sentence of my acquittal of the charge of violation of Ourique PDM for allowing the construction of the plant Montaraz of Garvão-Transformation Alentejo Pork Craft, central pillar of our rescue strategy of Alentejo pigs row and affirmation of our rural world.
I was concerned to have enabled the creation of jobs, boosting the local economy and claim a mark of our rural identity.
The case concerned an order of removal from office for violation of REN and PDM, but, in closing arguments, prosecutors, Process promoter, considered to be no basis in the indictment.
It concerned the ongoing struggle between the defense of the interests of the municipality of Ourique and Ouriquenses or narrow-minded pettiness of who instigated the action with the Public Ministry.
I was concerned those who give the face by the progress or the invisible hand, in the shadow, seeks to disrupt the construction of opportunities for local development.
Between stagnation and progress, we made the right choice. Between the smallness and the development vision of our land, we chose well. We were already with a clear conscience. Now it became justice, by me, by Ourique and the Montaraz.
We have good reason to celebrate the success of the XI Fair Alentejo Pig, in Ourique. To all who have never had doubts about the meaning of the policy option of authorizing the plant Montaraz in Garvão, thank my.
Those who had doubts, the conviction that, in politics as in life, we are not all equal.
To these will be only fair to assume the blocking test error to the progress of our land, Reasons for petty. The minimum required is a public retraction of who aditivou now filed proceedings
