Local elections - candidates duck oil and gas question

oilgunge Despite the Algarve’s mayors’ group AMAL declaring its opposition to oil and gas exploration and drilling, on and offshore along the Algarve’s coastline, few have been brave enough to respond to one simple ‘yes or no’ question put to them by environmental groups – for or against?
