The motion of censure presented by Chega against the national Government, related to the Minister of Internal Administration and corruption cases, is placing the deputies elected by Madeira in a delicate position. The article argues that the majority of the opposition will vote down the motion, but that the Madeiran representatives face a choice of principles.
The text warns that if the deputies from Madeira vote against the motion of censure, they will be complicit in the same practices they criticize locally. Whoever votes to defend the central Government loses the legitimacy to be concerned about the lack of ethics in the region.
Miguel Albuquerque, leader of the regional government of Madeira, is mentioned for having received Luís Neves, transforming him into what the article describes as a "pawn to tidy up narratives". The article suggests that tolerance towards Luís Neves represents a legitimization of Albuquerque's practices.
The text specifically appeals to the deputies of JPP and PS Madeira, warning that by giving "a hand to facilitation to save the skin of the central power", they lose all credibility to criticize regional management and to be concerned with issues of integrity.
