PSD/Madeira presents proposal for constitutional revision
The PSD parliamentary group in Madeira has proposed a constitutional revision to establish a distinct tax system and expand the regional parliament's powers. They aim to contribute to the upcoming constitutional review process in Portugal, advocating for greater autonomy and constitutional guarantees for Madeira and the Azores. The proposal includes recognizing territorial continuity, enhancing legislative competencies, and increasing political representation for Madeirans, particularly for emigrant communities. Additionally, it suggests abolishing the position of the representative of the Republic and allowing regional government leaders to participate in Council of Ministers meetings quarterly or as needed.
