The Mayor of Silves, Rosa Palma, said that she does not understand the reasons for the opposition voting against the council’s proposed budget for 2015.
The draft budget of €32.6 million was rejected by PS and PSD councillors in a council meeting on Wednesday despite this being the lowest budget ever proposed for the Silves municipal area, some €3.3 million lower than last year’s and way below the heady days of council spending under Isabel Soares' regime.
