PAN pediu activação de planos de contingência e protecção dos animais

The PAN party urged the government to activate contingency plans in response to the Charles depression, emphasizing the need for animal rescue. Inês de Sousa Real highlighted the importance of safeguarding both human and animal lives. Recent legislation mandates municipalities to include animal rescue in civil protection plans, ensuring legal responsibility for emergency responses. The budget for 2027 allocates funds for animal welfare centers and emphasizes the need for tested municipal plans to avoid improvisation during emergencies. The updated protection system introduces a dedicated area for animal accommodation and ensures collaboration among rescue teams, directing animals to official centers when necessary. The PAN also stressed the importance of allowing pets in emergency shelters for the homeless.
