JPP Rejects Transitional Regimes in Air Mobility Debate
Madeira GuideThe JPP has voiced strong opposition to transitional regimes in air mobility, highlighting the need for a guaranteed fund and criticizing the current platform.
The Juntos Pelo Povo (JPP) party has firmly rejected the proposed transitional regimes in air mobility during a recent discussion in the Assembleia da República. This decision comes amidst ongoing debates concerning the Social Mobility Subsidy (Subsídio Social de Mobilidade, SSM), which affects travel between Madeira, the Azores, and mainland Portugal.
JPP's main criticism targets the newly created platform, which they argue inadequately addresses the complex issues surrounding air travel mobility. The party asserts that the matter transcends mere administrative adjustments and is fundamentally about respect and fairness for the residents of Madeira and the Azores.
In a public statement, JPP reiterated their proposal for establishing a guarantee fund to ensure more reliable and equitable mobility solutions. They emphasize that the current approach does not sufficiently protect the rights and needs of the island's residents, many of whom rely on consistent and affordable travel options for both personal and economic reasons.
This ongoing debate is particularly significant for Madeira, a region heavily dependent on tourism and inter-island connectivity. Ensuring efficient and fair air mobility is crucial not only for residents but also for the many tourists who visit the islands each year.
The outcome of these discussions could have profound implications for the region's economic stability and the quality of life for its inhabitants, making it a critical issue for both local and national policymakers.
