Summary:
CDS party demands immediate launch of public tender for Madeira Hospital phase 3.
Project deemed national interest, ensuring necessary funding.
Caretaker government can still act in public interest despite budget proposal rejection.
Emphasizes urgency and importance of the hospital for Madeira's future.
Calls for Attorney General's opinion if doubts persist about tender process.
Public Tender for New Madeira Hospital Phase
The CDS party insists that the public tender for the third phase of the new Madeira Hospital should be launched by the current Regional Government at the necessary opportunity.
"This is an essential project for Madeira's future, long advocated by the CDS. We remind that it has been declared a national interest project, securing funding for its realization," stated the party in a press release.
Current Government Situation
The party acknowledges that while the 2025 budget proposal has not been approved and the government is currently dismissed, legal precedents indicate that a caretaker government can undertake significant actions for public interest, not just those strictly necessary for daily operations.
Importance of the Project
The CDS emphasizes that this project is a continuation of previously made commitments, requiring necessary procedures for its advancement, and is financed by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR).
They reference Constitutional Court ruling No. 60/02, which asserts that urgent needs justify actions by a caretaker government, highlighting the New Hospital construction as a prime example.
Call to Action
Given the project's significance for the region's residents, the CDS argues that the third phase must be launched immediately. They stress that failing to do so would compromise the public interest of Madeira's population. "It is urgent and strictly necessary," they assert, urging the Regional Government to initiate the public tender to avoid delays in completing this vital health infrastructure.
Final Remarks
The CDS further suggests that if doubts remain, the Regional Government should seek an opinion from the Attorney General regarding the tender's opening for this construction phase. They conclude by stating, "We do not accept that the hospital's construction becomes a tool for partisan and electoral disputes. The interests of Madeirans are above any party interests."
