The party Juntos Pelo Povo (JPP) requested explanations about the Economic-Financial Study regarding the regular maritime connection for passengers and rolling cargo between Madeira and the Continent. The request was made through deputy Filipe Sousa.

The JPP requested the priority holding of a set of parliamentary hearings to scrutinize the study. The objective is to analyze in detail the economic and financial terms of this maritime connection.
