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). To this loss of centrality is added a coincidence that requires explanations: the former urban planning councilor, João José Nascimento Rodrigues, linked to Pedro Calado's executive

Mr. Rodrigues already makes people sick.

This opinion article harshly criticizes Madeira's political leaders, Miguel Albuquerque and José Manuel Rodrigues, considering that the promises to increase the regional minimum wage to 1,050 euros are merely political rhetoric maneuvers to disguise a severe social crisis. The author argues that the current economic model is based on low wages to protect privileged economic groups, while the cost of living rises drastically due to real estate speculation and unregulated tourism, causing an exodus of young people and qualified professionals. The piece concludes that without a break with this privileged model, Madeira's future will continue to be compromised.

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.
