The Youth of Juntos pelo Povo (JJPP) challenged the PSD/CDS Regional Government of Madeira to create a regional housing supplement for Madeiran students studying on the mainland. Through a statement, young member Alexandre Gomes considered that rental prices, especially in Greater Lisbon and Porto, are "completely out of control", placing additional financial pressure on Madeiran families.
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.
