Liberal Initiative contests Regional Government announcement regarding the regional minimum wage for 2027

Funchal Notícias9 September 2026 at 18:17

Liberal Initiative publicly contested the way the Regional Government is conducting the process of defining the regional minimum wage for 2027. The party considers that this process is being poorly managed.

The regional secretary for Economy and the president of the Regional Government announced a value of 1,050 euros for the regional minimum wage for 2027. This announcement was made spontaneously, without the required consultation with social partners and other competent entities having been promoted.

Liberal Initiative specifically criticized the absence of a formal consultation process before defining this value. The party understands that setting the regional minimum wage should result from structured dialogue with the economic and social agents of the region.

This position of Liberal Initiative arises in the context of a broader debate on regional wage policy and the need for transparency in decision-making processes that directly affect the workers and businesses of the region.
