In order to present a solution of a “stable responsible government” the PS and the JPP reached a “joint compromise” today, taking into account that both “had more votes and more deputies than the PSD,” stressed Paulo Cafõfo, leader of the PS, at the press conference held this afternoon together with the JPP.
The president of PS/Madeira, Paulo Cafôfo, and the secretary general of JPP, Élvio Sousa, announced a “declaration of principles” between both parties, to present an alternative governance solution for Madeira.
Both launched the challenge for other parties, “except for PSD and Chega,” to join this solution, which at the moment is worth 20 deputies, above the 19 deputies of the PSD, but still far from the 24 needed for an absolute majority.
Paulo Cafôfo explained on the occasion that the established understanding provides for the responsibility of presenting a parliamentary solution that forms a new Government that responds “to the desires and needs of the Madeirans.”
