The author of this article proposes a concrete protest action to the Madeirans, Portosantans, and inhabitants of Desertas and Selvagens, in response to an announcement on the Madeira Opina website about a protest against fuel prices in the region. The proposal consists of giving strong honks whenever someone passes by the door of Quinta Vigia, seat of the Regional Government of Madeira.
The author mentions that fuel prices on the mainland have already exceeded 2 euros per liter, predicting that the same will happen in Madeira by next week. He also points out that the price of gas is unsustainable for families in the region.
The text criticizes the President of the Regional Government, suggesting he does not like to be disturbed, and accuses a small group of "aristocrats" of living off the sacrifice of those who work from Monday to Saturday to support their families.
The author also expresses strong criticism towards the Madeiran population, considering that their inertia, fear, and complacency have transformed passivity into a shackle, making the people "slaves by their own choice." He argues that the majority prefers to stay silent and accept each abuse with resignation, which, according to the author, will result in late regret.
