Reader Nuno Freitas sent a statement to DIÁRIO comparing the use of censure motions in the Assembly of the Republic and the Legislative Assembly of Madeira. In his analysis, he states that on the mainland there is no fear of advancing with censure motions whenever there are reasons, while in Madeira, in 50 years of Autonomy, this is a "mirage." The comparison was made in the context of the 50th anniversary of the first regional legislative elections. DIÁRIO decided to consult the parliamentary history to understand if this oversight instrument has been effectively used in the region. The article indicates that the journalistic investigation sought to verify the frequency and circumstances under which censure motions were presented over these five decades of Madeiran political autonomy.
