The Legislative Assembly of the Azores will meet on Friday in the city of Horta, on the island of Faial, for a ceremony marking the fiftieth anniversary of its inaugural session. The event celebrates five decades since the regional parliament of the Azores held its first session.
The president of the Assembly of the Republic, José Pedro Aguiar-Branco, will be present at the ceremony. His presence underscores the institutional importance of this anniversary for the archipelago and for the Portuguese democratic system.
The inaugural session of the Legislative Assembly of the Azores took place in 1975, a few months after the April Revolution. Over 50 years, the regional parliament has exercised its legislative and supervisory powers in the autonomous region.
The choice of Horta as the location for this celebration is due to the fact that it is the seat of the Azorean parliament. The ceremony brings together regional and national political representatives in this symbolic moment for the autonomic history of the archipelago.
