Brava in agony for having been relegated to ISOLATION several times in a row

MARITIME CONNECTIONS ARE CANCELED, which was already foreseen, due to the dismay of CV Interilhas, a Portuguese company that won the tender to operate in territorial waters for presenting better "operating conditions". The results are for all to see. What starts badly always ends badly, and users pay the bill. The general malaise in people's lives, micro-entrepreneurs, tourism, emigrants, those who need urgent care, in short... Brava agonizing over having been relegated to ISOLATION several times in a row, which has already made it run a lot of ink.

Missing the CV Fast Ferry that went so well, always punctual, missing the time at Arca Verde, Praia Daguada, Furna ship... There is no memory of the gigantic DISCALABRE of that proportion! It is necessary to ask for the head of the Minister of the Sea. It is not understood why he still holds the portfolio. I should have resigned! A mega demonstration in all the islands of the archipelago to ask for his resignation and resumption of CV Fast Ferry. Cape Verde does not need new companies at the whim of obscure interests. Cape Verde needs that company already created, with more adjustments, depending on demand. New companies to decree the extinction of others, in the same field, is sponsorship and negotiations between the big ones, forcing the MONOPOLY. Practice has shown that the monopolization of the transport sector and the centralization of the branch by the Government has only fostered the worsening of the situation.

As I write this section, from here on Fogo Island, under a scorching sun, I lose sight of Ilha Brava, under a blanket of gray mist, at the same time that the uncertainty of stepping foot there before returning to the USA seems- an almost certain hypothesis! I feel very sorry for the Island and for its people who are still hostage to this serious problem.
