Political Landscape in Madeira
As Madeira moves toward early elections, tensions within the PSD-Madeira party are rising. Manuel António Correia, the principal opponent of Miguel Albuquerque, has submitted a request with 540 signatures to convene an extraordinary congress. This move aims to push for a "regeneration" of the party amid calls for internal elections.
Request to Delay Parliamentary Dissolution
Correia has appealed to the President of the Republic, requesting a delay in the anticipated parliamentary dissolution to allow for the internal elections. While he has gathered the necessary signatures, the actual holding of the congress still hinges on approval from the regional council. Albuquerque, however, has warned that proceeding with internal elections could be tantamount to "suiciding" the party, emphasizing the stakes involved in this political maneuvering.
