The regional secretary for Health and Civil Protection of Madeira, Micaela Freitas, participated in an action of the initiative 'Gestos que Salvam Vidas' (Gestures that Save Lives) that took place at the Lido Bathing Complex. The politician demonstrated competence in basic life support procedures, specifically in performing chest compressions to sustain life in case of cardiopulmonary arrest, until the arrival of emergency services.
The article questions, in an ironic manner, whether all politicians have basic life support training, suggesting that this should be an essential competency for all political leaders. The reference to "reshuffles" and "Off with them!" in the title indicates a criticism of the government's composition.
The initiative 'Gestos que Salvam Vidas' (Gestures that Save Lives) aims precisely to train citizens in first aid techniques, highlighting the importance of having more people trained in life-saving procedures in the region.
