Minister assures that desalination plant works continue

The Minister of Environment, Maria da Graça Carvalho, pledged to resolve the embargo on the desalination plant in Albufeira, dismissing political games that hinder solutions for the Algarve. She responded to the mayor's announcement of the embargo due to alleged violations of the Municipal Master Plan. Carvalho noted that the mayor does not oppose the desalination project but is reviewing the decision's details. Initial legal assessments suggest the embargo affects the land rather than the construction itself, allowing most works to continue. The government will evaluate the situation and is prepared to respond if necessary.
