PSD/Açores defends construction of new Basic Integrated School of Lagoa with gymnasium

Açoriano Oriental14 September 2026 at 19:12

PSD/Açores defended the need to build a new Basic Integrated School of Lagoa, considering the inclusion of a gymnasium in the project essential. The party warned that any alteration to the currently planned project could put at risk the funding that was secured through the Azores 2030 program. The Azorean social democrats consider that the project must proceed as planned to guarantee the available European funds. This position arises in a context where the opposition party expresses concern about possible changes that could compromise the execution of the work and the capture of EU funds destined for the region.

Why this matters

Readers in the Azores are directly affected because the construction of this school represents a significant improvement in local educational infrastructure. The PSD's warning about possible changes to the project and the risk of losing Azores 2030 funding means that families in Lagoa may see access to a modern and equipped school delayed or compromised, depending on the political decisions made.
