Asked to comment on the statements made by Alberto João Jardim on radio station Antena 1, about the Municipality of Funchal falling into 'Irreversible Decay,' and becoming a city with a permanently outstretched hand, the President of Madeira, said that he supported the ex-president on his views, and although he is worried about Pedro Calado's (Vice-President) departure from the Regional Government, due to his candidacy for Mayor of Funchal, Miguel Albuquerque believes that Pedro Calado's leadership will benefit the city enormously.
