Açoriano Oriental7 September 2026 at 10:54

Martins Goulart, the first parliamentary leader of PS/Açores, recalled that the party had to fight and resist during the pioneering experience of the beginning of autonomy in the Azores. His statements arise in the context of a reflection on the party's history in the region.

The leader emphasized the need for a refounding of the autonomy model as a way to combat what he considered to be regional centralism. This position reflects a concern with the way power has been exercised in the region.

Martins Goulart spoke as the first parliamentary leader of PS/Açores, a position he held at the beginning of the autonomous period. His intervention is part of a broader analysis of the party's trajectory and the autonomous process.
