Élvio Sousa, JPP's Secretary-General, emphasizes the need for fair competition and support for SMEs to strengthen Madeira's economy.

The Secretary-General of Juntos Pelo Povo (JPP), Élvio Sousa, has called for measures against monopolies to foster a robust economy in Madeira. During a recent visit to Expomadeira, Sousa highlighted the necessity of fair competition, reduced taxes, and equal opportunities for all businesses, with a focus on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Sousa's statements were made during a visit by a party delegation to Expomadeira, an event aimed at supporting local businesses. He stressed that SMEs are crucial for job creation, investment, and wealth generation in the region.

Expomadeira, a significant event for local businesses, provided a platform for JPP to promote their economic agenda, which includes reducing fiscal burdens and ensuring that no particular group receives undue privileges.

The JPP's stance underscores the importance of dismantling monopolistic practices that could hinder economic growth and innovation in Madeira. By advocating for a competitive marketplace, the party aims to create a more vibrant economic environment that benefits all sectors.
