In a significant development for Madeira's culinary community, Alcides N贸brega has been reelected as the president of the Portuguese Federation of Gastronomic Brotherhoods (FPCG) for the term 2026-2028. This decision was finalized following elections held in Carapelhos, Mira, at the headquarters of the Confraria Nabos e Companhia.
The reelection of N贸brega, a proud Madeiran, marks the end of a six-month leadership stalemate within the federation. The impasse began after the annulment of the previous election on November 19, which had been contested by Rui Pires Silva, leader of another gastronomic fraternity.

The event in Carapelhos not only marked a new chapter for the federation but also highlighted the importance of gastronomic traditions in cultural identity and tourism, both vital to Madeira's local economy.
