The leader of the PSD/Açores parliamentary group, João Bruto da Costa, alerted to the challenges the region faces in commemorating the 50 years of regional autonomy. During his speech, he pointed to what he considered concrete examples of policies that harm the Azores.
João Bruto da Costa specifically referred to the mobility issue as one of the most significant problems, criticizing what he considered a lack of support from the mainland. This issue has been a recurring concern for regional parties, given the geographical isolation of the archipelago.
The politician emphasized that the Azores have felt, on several occasions, that the Country turns its back on the region, especially in matters of transport and accessibility. Regional autonomy, completing half a century, continues to face structural challenges that require greater attention from the central government.
This intervention comes in the context of the celebrations of the fiftieth anniversary of Azores autonomy, a time when assessments are made of the region's journey and areas that need greater investment and national solidarity are identified.
