The population of Nossa Senhora do Monte cries out and demands the reopening of the Municipal Delegation of the Parish

The Municipal Delegation of Nossa Senhora do Monte, which provided a wide range of administrative and community services, was closed many years ago without any plausible and acceptable justification being given, although it was often said that the closure was due to financial and need to optimize the municipality’s resources. However, the measure has been met with resistance from the local community, who argue that the agency's lack of agency has exacerbated the challenges faced by residents.

Since the closure of the Municipal Delegation, residents have faced a series of difficulties. Among the main problems are the difficulty in accessing document issuance services, carrying out property registrations and requests for social benefits. Many residents, especially the elderly and those without easy access to transportation, have encountered major obstacles in getting to the city of Nova Sintra.

Furthermore, the lack of a local presence for administrative issues has negatively affected the parish's ability to carry out procedures and resolve problems efficiently. Many residents report facing long waits and additional difficulties, exacerbating feelings of abandonment and marginalization by municipal authorities.

The situation in the parish of Nossa Senhora seems to be very agitated! If the population is crying out and demanding the reopening of the Municipal Delegation, it may be a clear sign that there is a significant need for the services that the Delegation offers. The lack of access to these services can greatly impact residents' lives, from administrative issues to essential services.

Sometimes reopening a Delegation can be a matter of resources or logistics, but if population demand is high, there may be enough pressure for authorities to reconsider the decision.

In response to the difficulties, the population of Nossa Senhora initiated a series of actions to pressure local authorities to reconsider the decision. According to João Pereira, one of the residents, the mobilizations can start with an online petition, petitions and demonstrations.

The municipal authorities, particularly the President of the local council, have not commented on the matter, making it clear that there are no possibilities for this reopening.

While the situation remains open, the community of Nossa Senhora do Monte remains firm in its demand for the reopening of the Municipal Delegation. The mobilization demonstrates a strong sense of cohesion and determination on the part of residents, who are willing to fight for their rights and the well-being of the parish.

The expectation is that the authorities will carefully consider the population's demands and find a solution that allows the Delegation to reopen or, at least, the implementation of an efficient system to meet the community's needs.
