José Manuel Rodrigues Criticizes New Air Mobility Subsidy
Madeira GuideRegional Secretary of Economy, José Manuel Rodrigues, calls the new Air Mobility Subsidy model "unacceptable" and plans to address it in Parliament.
The Regional Secretary of Economy for Madeira, José Manuel Rodrigues, has sharply criticized the newly proposed Air Mobility Subsidy model, labeling it as "unacceptable" and "unconstitutional." According to Rodrigues, this model is a direct affront to the residents of Madeira and Porto Santo, as it fails to align with constitutional principles and disadvantages the region.
In a brief statement, Rodrigues emphasized that the proposed model undermines the region's interests and does not comply with constitutional standards. This perspective aligns with the critical stance previously taken by the CDS-PP, a political party in Madeira.
The Air Mobility Subsidy is a crucial element for residents and tourists alike, as it affects the affordability and accessibility of air travel to and from Madeira, a popular tourist destination. Changes to this subsidy could significantly impact the local economy, which relies heavily on tourism.
Madeira, known for its stunning landscapes and vibrant culture, depends on efficient transportation links to maintain its tourism industry. Any changes in mobility subsidies are watched closely by both local inhabitants and the tourism sector, as they can influence travel costs and regional connectivity.
The regional government's readiness to take this issue to Parliament underscores its significance. By addressing this in the legislative assembly, Madeira's leadership seeks to ensure that any subsidy model aligns with the region’s needs and constitutional rights.
