“The pandemic, as you can see, is not over yet and the war has broken out. Therefore, all support for economic activity that is within our reach must be“said the mayor of Figueira da Foz.
Pedro Santana Lopes highlighted the importance of the restaurant sector in the commercial structure of Figueira da Foz, emphasizing that the tax exemption “It is a measure that is more than fair and that was imposed”.
I wish we could do more, but let’s do with weight and measure what we can. And when, a few months ago, we decided on a proposal from the service to resume the rates, no one thought that the pandemic would make itself felt again, people would be afraid again and the war would last, ”he stressed.
For the mayor, “this is a new reality, but people want to continue living and, God willing, we will have a great summer and I hope that companies can consolidate their balance sheets, which is what is at stake”.
