Juntos Pelo Povo (JPP) advocates for stronger European Union support to reduce air and maritime transport costs in the outermost regions. The party considers this measure essential to ensure better living conditions and development in these regions.

Regarding Madeira specifically, JPP emphasizes that territorial continuity is an essential condition to ensure equality of opportunities between citizens of these regions and other European citizens.

The party also believes that reducing transport costs is crucial for the economic competitiveness of the outermost regions, allowing local businesses to compete on better terms in the European market.

Why this matters

Madeiran readers are directly affected because high transport costs undermine local businesses' competitiveness and limit citizens' access to equal opportunities. JPP demands that the European Union recognize territorial continuity as an essential condition for the economic development of the outermost regions.
