Monchique approves simplified support for fire victims By TPN/Lusa, in Algarve · 23-07-2021 01:00:00 · 0 Comments
The Municipality of Monchique has approved a simplified support mechanism for small farmers, covering damages of up to €500 caused by the fire that affected the municipality last weekend.
The mayor of Monchique, Rui André, presented the proposal to create an emergency fund after the Government announced that the damages could already be reported to the Algarve’s Regional Directorate of Agriculture and Fisheries (DRAP), considering that this support would be “very bureaucratic” and “unadjusted” to the needs of those affected, as happened after the large fire of 2018.
