Return: Lisbon rejects report on urban hygiene

The Lisbon Municipal Assembly rejected a PS proposal for a report on the impact of the Volta packaging system, highlighting issues with urban waste management. PS deputy Hugo Gaspar criticized the current administration for not addressing the litter problem and shifting blame to previous governments. The proposal aimed to analyze urban hygiene from 2021 to 2026, but was dismissed by various parties, including PSD and CDS-PP, who deemed it bureaucratic. Critics of the Volta system argued it privatizes benefits while socializing costs. A proposal for public sanitation facilities was also discussed, with mixed support. A vote of condolence for the victims of a train accident in Spain was unanimously approved.
