Users Committee of the Via do Infante joined Saturday a dozen people near the prime minister’s holiday home in Manta Rota, Algarve, in protest for the end of tolls on the A22.

                     

                         The structure representing the users of the old highway No Cost to You (SCUT) of Algarve tried to get to talk to the Prime Minister, Pedro Passos Coelho, for you deliver a “farewell letter” asking to abolish tolls before leave the government, but the police did not allow that contact and Commission officials had to leave the letter with an element of GNR.

João Vasconcelos, the Users Committee of the Via do Infante (CUVI) said the aim of the protest was “merely continue the fight for the abolition of tolls,” and stressed that the option of delegation of about ten people who today was in Manta Rota was to hold a “silent protest” not to bother the Prime Minister’s wife, who is fighting a cancer disease

“And we have a farewell letter to the prime minister, I expect it to go away, hence to 44 days -. look that number so magical – and no longer come back because of the damage, the misfortune that his government brought in the Algarve in economic, social, human, with many dead, many injured on National Highway 125 [N125]. So it’s something we will continue to protest until the complete abolition of tolls, “said the head of CUVI.

Asked about the participation of a dozen people at the protest, João Vasconcelos replied that it was “only a delegation of the Users Committee, without mobilizing concerns and this time without noisy apparatus” to “not make much noise in the place.”

“We just want this case such As in previous years, to deliver a letter to the prime minister, this time a farewell letter, making see and remember the numbers of human and social tragedy and what tolls represent the Algarve, “he reiterated, stressing that the track text, were also fatal road accident pictures on the EN125, which increase every day due to increased traffic fleeing tolls.

João Vasconcelos recalled that this is the second action of this type that CUVI performs this summer, after last Sunday, also be concentrated near the vacation home of the head of State, Aníbal Cavaco Silva, in the village of Coelha in Albufeira, also in the Algarve.

The head of CUVI also rejected the possibility that the amount paid in tolls from the A22 turn out to be reduced, ensuring that the structure “does not allow us to speak to lower the price of tolls,” because, considered, “it does not solve the essential.”
> “That’s not what interests us, what interests us is definitely abolish tolls because the underlying problem will continue – we will have more deaths, more accidents, claims, more damage to the economy, reverse mobility, and we do not want” justified.
