The Regional Government Council of Madeira approved a set of measures this Thursday, including an investment of 450 thousand euros for the rehabilitation of the Cultural and Congress Center of Porto Santo. In addition to this public infrastructure requalification, the government approved social support measures for higher education, an extraordinary aid to the bakery industry in Porto Santo, and a land expropriation for the construction of the Boaventura-São Vicente Expressway.
Paulo Raimundo accused the Government of "throwing mud at the wall" regarding the promise not to touch Social Security during this legislation, considering that promise "is worth nothing".
Chega challenged the PS to make the party's proposals to lower VAT on fuels and the food basket viable, in a dynamic of political opposition regarding fiscal measures.
José Luís Carneiro again demanded a clear position from the prime minister guaranteeing that Social Security will not be privatized, reinforcing his opposition to any possibility of opening the Social Security system to the private sector.
The president of Chega, Ventura, today criticized the Government's inaction regarding the problems caused by storm Kristin, pointing particularly to the roads that remain closed without viable alternatives having been created for the affected population.
