Vandalism or Persecution?

A number of cars belonging to the family of Gil Canha, alderman in the Municipality of Funchal, representing the New Democracy Party, were vandalized last night. The vandals entered the communal garage of the block of flats, severed the wires from the security cameras and poured corrosive liquid over the cars. This is not the first such incident. On the 26th of August, the Amazonia bar, which belongs to the Canha family, was twice set on fire in the middle of the night, using incendiary devices. Gil has been the target of anonymous threats. Following the elections,defamatory posters, which were paraded by supporters of Jardim’s party on the election night, were subsequently placed in the street outside his own home, and that of Baltasar Aguiar, the PND leader.
