Deputy Filipe Sousa, from Juntos Pelo Povo (JPP), requested the holding of parliamentary hearings with priority status to scrutinize the Economic-Financial Study on the regular maritime connection of passengers and roll-on/roll-off cargo between Madeira and the mainland. The request comes following a study already commissioned by the Institute of Mobility and Transport.
The JPP considers it fundamental that the details of this study be discussed publicly in parliament, in order to guarantee transparency regarding the economic and financial data that underpin the maritime connection between Madeira and the Portuguese mainland.
The hearings will allow deputies to analyze in detail the assumptions and conclusions of the study, ensuring an in-depth debate about an infrastructure that is considered essential for the connectivity of the Autonomous Region of Madeira with the rest of the country.
