The Regional Government of Madeira is meeting today with CHEGA, Iniciativa Liberal (IL) and PAN in an attempt to agree on proposals for the executive’s new programme – which PS Socialists and JPP (Juntos Pelo Povo) have already said they will be rejecting. Paulo Cafôfo, leader of the archipelago’s second most-voted party (PS) has stressed: “We don’t have confidence in the government, we don’t have confidence in Miguel Albuquerque and that’s why we’re sticking to our position.”
