MP Francisco Gomes has criticized the current situation in the north of Madeira island, describing it as a 'second-class Madeira'. According to Gomes, the region continues to suffer from a lack of investment and development.
This statement points to a persistent regional inequality within the island itself, where the north has not received the necessary attention and resources for its progress.
The MP did not detail specific areas of neglect, but his assertion suggests concerns about infrastructure, services, or economic opportunities in northern Madeira.
