"If the Azorean people give me their trust next October, Faial islanders can count on the next Regional Government, chaired by me, to support the Government of the Republic in achieving this investment."
The commitment was made by the Regional Secretary for the Economy, Vasco Cordeiro, and was conveyed today at the Legislative Assembly, following a challenged launched by the leader of PSD parliamentary group.
However, the Regional Secretary stressed that such support "will not be at any cost." According to what he explained, "the support will be allocated according to the chosen solution and its respective costs."
Vasco Cordeiro also said he was convinced that "it could not be clearer than this. This is my commitment. Whether it meets or not the expectations of the leader of PSD Parliamentary Group, I do not know. But this is what I have to say, here and outside the Azores," concluded the Regional Secretary.
