Madeira GuideThe Secretary-General of JPP, Élvio Sousa, calls for measures against monopolies to support small and medium enterprises, crucial for Madeira's economic growth.
On July 6, 2026, Élvio Sousa, the Secretary-General of the Juntos pelo Povo (JPP) party, emphasized the need to tackle monopolies in order to bolster Madeira's economy. Speaking during a visit to Expomadeira, Sousa highlighted the importance of fostering competition and reducing tax burdens to ensure equal opportunities for all businesses.
Sousa's remarks were made in the context of a broader initiative by JPP to support local enterprises, especially small and medium-sized businesses, which he described as vital for generating employment, investment, and wealth in the region. The party's delegation included deputies, local government officials, and party leaders, all united in their commitment to economic reform.
The JPP's stance is clear: a thriving economy requires not only competition but also the elimination of fiscal privileges that benefit only a select few. By advocating for these changes, JPP aims to create a more equitable economic landscape in Madeira, benefiting both residents and tourists alike.
