PS Madeira today defended, alongside the fishermen of Caniçal, the urgency of a definitive legislative solution that guarantees the protection of local traditions and an end to the climate of suspicion affecting sea professionals. The president of PS-M took the floor to address the situation that has worried the fishing community of the region.
The party's position arose in reaction to recent episodes involving the seizure of dried gaiado intended for self-consumption. These incidents generated indignation among local fishermen, who feel unfairly targeted by the legislation currently in force.
PS-M argues that it is necessary to create regional regulation that specifically protects Madeira's fishing traditions, recognizing the self-consumption practices that are part of the local culture. The party understands that the current legal framework does not adequately distinguish between commercial activities and traditional subsistence practices.
The president of PS-M committed to fighting for a legislative solution that respects the traditions of the Madeiran fishing community, defending that sea professionals should not be treated as suspects, but rather as guardians of a cultural heritage that must be preserved.
