JPP calls for more European support for transport

dnoticias.pt14 September 2026 at 09:56

Together for the People (JPP) is advocating for a strengthening of European Union support to reduce the costs of air and sea transport in the outermost regions. The party considers this measure essential to ensure better living conditions and economic development in these regions.

In the specific case of Madeira, JPP emphasizes that territorial continuity is an essential condition to ensure equal opportunities and the economic competitiveness of the island. The party believes that without more affordable transport, the region is at a disadvantage compared to continental Europe.

This position was stated by the secretary-general of JPP, Élvio Sousa, within the framework of the new European Commission strategy for the outermost regions. The party is thus following the European debate on the future of these regions and seeks to influence community policies.

Why this matters

Readers in the Madeira region are directly affected because lower costs in air and sea transport can facilitate travel and boost the local economy. The JPP party presents this demand in light of the new European strategy for the outermost regions, arguing that territorial continuity is fundamental to reduce the island's geographical isolation.
