The article addresses the privatization of TAP and the lack of public debate on the subject. According to the author, nobody wants to debate this issue openly, not even those who criticize other matters. The complexity of the theme is frequently invoked as a reason to avoid discussion.
The author argues that, although it is presented as a technical issue requiring specialized knowledge, the privatization of TAP is crucial for Madeira and Porto Santo. However, the inhabitants of these regions do not receive information about the process.
The article considers it unacceptable that people remain "in the dark" about such an important matter. The author also expresses his opinion that life in Madeira will never be the same without TAP as the Portuguese flag carrier, referring to the guarantee of speaking Portuguese and feeling safe as important aspects of this connection.
