Intense sessions at the Madeira Legislative Assembly: deputies discuss the 2024-2028 Government Program with a focus on the future.

After a first day in the Legislative Assembly of Madeira marked by accusations and tensions, the elected deputies are preparing to delve into the true assessment and discussion of the 'Government Program of the Autonomous Region of Madeira 2024-2028'. This document has been presented by the PSD Madeira Executive, led by Miguel Albuquerque, and is expected to be the focus of attention in the meetings that will take place this Wednesday, June 19. In an intense day, deputies and the Regional Government will meet in two plenary sessions, the first from 9 am to 1 pm and the second from 3 pm to 7 pm, to carefully analyze the Government Program and address any concerns and requests for clarification that may arise. Today's Agenda will focus exclusively on this point, with initial interventions of 20 minutes for each member of the Regional Government and allocated overall times for responses to requests for clarification. Tomorrow, June 20, the closing Plenary Session and vote on the Motion of Confidence is scheduled, which will determine the acceptance or rejection of the presented Government Program. Meanwhile, other events will mark this day on the island of Madeira, from visits to companies and social centers to seminars and presentations of local initiatives. On the international stage, June 19 commemorates the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict and the International Sickle Cell Day. This date also recalls important historical events, from groundbreaking political decisions to events that have shaped world history. From the abolition of slavery in the U.S. in 1862 to the approval of the Portuguese Republic in 1911, through the recognition of British women's right to vote in 1917, each event has left a mark on society and politics. Even more recent moments, such as the arrest of presidents of Brazilian construction companies for corruption in 2015, demonstrate the importance of transparency and the fight against corruption today. This historical and political context, both nationally and internationally, highlights the relevance and responsibility of the deputies in the Legislative Assembly of Madeira in analyzing and debating the Government Program for the benefit of the region and its inhabitants. Today's session represents an opportunity for reflection, dialogue, and decision-making that will impact the future of Madeira.
