Go for it! Carry, president!

Funchal Notícias14 September 2026 at 23:07

The president of the Câmara de Lobos City Council, Celso Bettencourt, was photographed carrying a box of grapes during the grape harvest season. The mayor swapped the office for work in the vineyard terraces in the parish of Estreito, in Madeira.

Celso Bettencourt shared a message on social media along with the photograph, where he wrote: "between bunches and some effort, one thing is certain: the grape harvest doesn't care about titles… and neither do the backs!" The humorous message refers to the fact that the grape harvest is physically demanding work that makes no distinction between titles or social positions.

Why this matters

Readers from Câmara de Lobos and Madeira learn about this initiative by the city mayor, who shows closeness to the local traditions of the region, particularly the grape harvest, an important economic and cultural activity for the island. The humorous post on social media can strengthen the mayor's image among residents.
