Revitalisation of Serra da Estrela remains an unfulfilled promise

The President of the Republic stated that the revitalisation of the Serra da Estrela Natural Park is a promise that remains unfulfilled, particularly following the fire that occurred in August 2022 and lasted over two weeks.

According to the President, four years have passed since the fire, and the promise of revitalisation has yet to be realized. He emphasized that almost nothing has been invested from the 155 million euros that were previously announced for this project.

The lack of action regarding this promise has raised concerns in several areas, including environmental recovery and the restoration of damaged infrastructure.

The pressure for the implementation of the revitalisation has increased, especially in light of the President's statements highlighting the sluggishness of the process.

In the meantime, local groups and environmentalists continue to call for greater attention and investment in the Serra da Estrela, considering the ecological and tourist importance of the region.

The evolution of this issue is being closely monitored by civil society and the competent authorities, in search of a resolution that meets the population's expectations. Now, it remains to await concrete actions that can finally fulfill this promise.
