Union of Parishes of the Historic Centre of Oporto want to receive ... - The Associated Press

President of the Union of Parishes of the historic center of Porto, António Fonseca, will propose to the government that you install in the buildings it manages, Citizen Shops. António Fonseca ensures that the buildings of the old parish councils Cedofeita, Santo Ildefonso, Se, Miragaia, S. Nicholas and Victoria have “space” to receive these services.

“We have the capacity, resources and strategic locations are in the city,” summarizes António Fonseca on the idea you want to convey in the coming days, the Government, “with knowledge to the prime minister.” The suggestion of the president of the largest villages Porto comes on the same day that, in Lisbon, one of the three encerrava Citizen Shops in the city, the Restorers.

mayoral North ensures that the proposal to have the government can only please the executive Pedro Passos Coelho, since it solves one of the problems cited as justification for closing the shop Restorers. “The government is saying that the main reason for closing this space is the high cost to income, which is around 600,000 euros per year. Because I want to provide the space of six ancient joints without the state having to pay any income, “he says. The reason for this generosity is only one: “We want to provide a service to the community and help end the huge queues at the only store in town citizen.”

António Fonseca speaks from experience. There are still weeks, he explains, was to wait hours to be seen at the store located in the building known as the Torre das Antas, on the Avenue of Ferdinand Magellan. “I took a Password morning, but it was to be served in the afternoon. There are people who are there all day “A reality that is expressed in their own web page that service, which contained the warning:.” Please note that due to the flow of visitors, some service stations can interrupt distributing passwords earlier. We appreciate your understanding. “

mayoral recalls that collaboration between parishes and services the state is nothing new and is said to be convinced that the employees own the joint could, with appropriate training, to ensure the Citizen Shops installed in buildings in which they work. “We have a protocol with IEFP [Institute for Employment and Vocational Training] that allows the unemployed to obtain the joint proof of mandatory presentation. We have the capacity to do more. We could have joints citizen shops with Social Security, Finance, SEF [Aliens and Borders], all services. And the government could choose to have our staff there, with training, or move to there own human resources, “he says.

Port only has a Citizen’s Shop, despite various political forces clamoring for several years, opening a second space, more central. In Lisbon, the store closure leaves Restorers of the capital with two spaces of the same gender, in Orange and Marvila. As already reported PUBLIC, the government reported, however, intend to create multiple “Spaces Citizen” in the city, but are still not clear on what conditions they will work.

Store Citizen of Porto has been loosing a lot of services in recent years, including in 2013, the counters of ADSE and CGD. The will of Antonio Fonseca is that the citizens of the city can enjoy the services provided by the Citizen’s Shop in the six parishes of the old buildings downtown and the historic center.

elected by the independent list Rui Moreira mayor also noted that the new schedule of six buildings – in operation since December 1, uninterruptedly, Monday to Friday, between 9am and 18h ??- is another more- appreciation that the Government should take into account.

In their view to extend the services provided to citizens, António Fonseca has focused on a set of protocols with city institutions. The latest – released yesterday by Journal News – is to Raditaxis and will allow, from February, residents of the union of parishes can purchase a special pass which, for 35 euros, they will make ten trips in taxis that company, within the city of Porto. The protocol has a probation period of three months, but travel can be used over a year. The mayor has also promised to provide hairdressing services to some of its older neighborhood and create a museum with ancient heritage of the six joints that were fused in the present.
