The great battle for the communities

In recent weeks, visits by Madeiran politicians to diaspora communities have multiplied, in an authentic race to mark their presence among emigrants. JPP travelled to Jersey with a delegation led by Élvio Sousa, while the regional director of Communities, Sancho Gomes, and government official Rui Abreu also travelled to destinations such as Venezuela. The dispute also extends to funding, with JPP and the Regional Government in conflict over the transfer of funds to the communities. The article also satirizes the combative posture of Carlos Fernandes and the absence of Paulo Cafôfo, the former secretary for communities, now focused on other priorities.

Sánchez orders publication of reports on Ceuta crisis to silence opposition

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez ordered the publication of a complete dossier with all reports compiled on the migratory crisis in the city of Ceuta, when thousands of migrants massively entered the Spanish enclave in May 2021. In the session presenting the documents, the Spanish Government admitted it did not receive prior warnings about the massive entry of people, at a time when the executive is under strong contestation from the opposition. The disclosure of the reports comes as a response to the transparency demands from opposition parties, who strongly criticized the Government's handling of the crisis.
