AD wants those who damage monuments to pay for the cleaning

The AD coalition plans to introduce a specific regime for the coercive collection of cleaning costs for vandalized monuments. Paulo Núncio from CDS-PP presented this proposal, emphasizing that those who vandalize should bear the costs. If payment is not made promptly, affected entities can initiate coercive collection through tax enforcement. Núncio criticized the current situation where taxpayers cover vandalism costs, asserting that individuals responsible for damage must be held accountable. He refrained from linking the proposal to recent protests but highlighted its fairness. Hugo Soares supported the measure, stating it aims to penalize vandalism effectively.
