Rubina Leal, President of the Legislative Assembly of Madeira, presided over the opening of the exhibition "Autonomy in the Press of 1976". The exhibition revisits, through newspapers from the era, crucial moments in the birth of Madeiran Autonomy.
According to ALRAM, the exhibition offers an opportunity to revisit the island's history and recognize the fundamental role of a free, plural, and independent press. The regional parliament's statement highlights that the press played a vital role in building democracy and continues to be essential in scrutinizing institutions and connecting citizens to public life.
