European funds give a film

dnoticias.pt6 September 2026 at 02:00

The proposal for the next Multiannual Financial Framework tends to bring the management of European funds closer to the Member States and move it away from the regions and municipalities. This change represents a significant alteration in the way funds are distributed and managed in the European Union.

The article warns of the risks of this approach, namely if there are no regional chapters, decentralized management responsibilities and a true partnership principle. Without these guarantees, the proximity of funds to citizens may depend on the goodwill of national governments.

The text classifies this option as a civilizational setback and calls for a demanding stance from the affected regions and municipalities. The central concern is that the proximity of funds, which has been an important achievement, may be compromised.

The article ends inconclusively, suggesting that this is still an important moment to act and demand more decentralized management closer to citizens.

The wording of the procedure should be changed!

A citizen sent a formal complaint to the jury of the competition procedure at the Funchal Municipal Council for Senior Technician in Social Work, requesting clarification on the wording of the habilitation requirement. The author questions whether the expression "degree or higher academic qualification in the area of Social Work" allows the candidacy of master's or doctoral holders whose undergraduate degree is in another area, and criticizes the lack of express requirement for registration with the Order of Social Workers, in contrast to the procedure for psychologists which explicitly requires registration with the Order of Psychologists. The complaint also alerts to the situation of holders of degrees in Social Policy and Social Work, recognized by the Order's Regulation, who may be excluded by the wording adopted, and appeals to compliance with the principles of equality, impartiality and transparency in recruitment in the Public Administration.

Artificial Intelligence also wants nothing to do with PS Madeira

A Madeiran blog criticizes the lack of visibility of PS Madeira in the regional political landscape, claiming that Artificial Intelligence models, such as Gemini and ChatGPT, do not recognize or cannot provide information about the party. The article alleges that PS Madeira cannot evolve politically, remaining stagnant despite leadership changes, and criticizes the subsidized media in the region for controlling the notoriety of politicians. The author suggests that AI treats the party as unreliable, which reflects the loss of relevance of the party in Madeiran politics.

The urban planning councilor was overtaken by the former urban planning councilor.

The Funchal Municipal Council is facing a politically unprecedented situation in which the current urban planning councilor sees their autonomy significantly conditioned by binding opinions from the Regional Directorate for Spatial Planning (DROTe). The coincidence that requires explanations relates to the fact that the former urban planning councilor, João José Nascimento Rodrigues, linked to the previous executive and the Praia Formosa process, is now part of the regional structure that assesses and decides on spatial planning matters with direct impact on the municipality. The article alerts to the need for transparency, questioning who analyzes, drafts, and signs these opinions, and raises the question of who really has authority over Funchal's urban planning: the Municipality or the Regional Government. An appeal is made for Miguel Albuquerque and political leaders to clarify this model and guarantee citizens full access to the opinions, their authors, and technical grounds, at a time when issues of enormous impact for the city are at stake, such as the suspension of the PDM and interventions in São Martinho.

The Madeiran decline through "overbooking".

The accelerated transformation of Madeiran society is generating an intense debate about identity, demographic pressure and democratic quality. The archipelago faces a structural recomposition driven by mass tourism, diaspora returnees and labor immigration, which have displaced local families and altered community dynamics. Local political culture is also impacted, with a risk of impoverishment of public debate and acceptance of standards below what would be expected in a developed European democracy. The central challenge for Madeira is maintaining economic prosperity without sacrificing social cohesion, cultural identity and democratic quality.
