JPP points out "lack of word" of the Regional Government when it said it would exempt emigrants from paying fees for pedestrian paths

Funchal Notícias4 September 2026 at 16:55

The Juntos Pelo Povo (JPP) warned this Friday, in Santana, about what it classifies as "lack of word" of the Regional Government of PSD/CDS, regarding a promise to exempt Madeiran emigrants from paying fees to access the pedestrian paths of the Region.

The commitment had been assumed by the Regional Executive in February of the same year, but, according to JPP, until the date the party made the warning, no alternative solution had been presented by the Regional Government.

The party criticized the executive's posture, underlining that Madeiran emigrants continue to be penalized with the payment of fees, despite the previously made promise.

JPP thus pressured the Regional Government again to comply with the commitment assumed with the Madeiran emigrant community, which mostly resides in mainland Portugal, Venezuela, South Africa and other countries.

The success of the far-right leader shakes Australia

Pauline Hanson, leader of the Australian far right and founder of the One Nation party, threatens to break the bipartisanship that has prevailed in Australian democracy. At 73 years old and an admirer of Donald Trump, Hanson is preparing for a major electoral leap in the federal elections scheduled for 2028, with polls giving her 30% voting intention, above the Labor Party (in government) and the Coalition (liberals and conservatives), the main traditional forces. It is the first time that a third party surpasses traditional Australian parties in opinion polls.

The three branches of government are affected by an unprecedented crisis of confidence, especially the Supreme Federal Court. Brazilians will choose a president, governors, senators, and federal deputies in a context where electoral programs compete for (and lose) the population's attention in the face of the erosion of ethical and moral values in public institutions.
