JPP Advocates for VAT Reduction, Ferry Link, and More Distribution Chains

The JPP (People's Party of Madeira) is advocating for a gradual reduction in Value Added Tax (VAT) to address the unsustainable cost of living on the island.

To achieve this objective, the party also proposes the establishment of a ferry service connecting Madeira to the Portuguese mainland, aiming to decrease transportation expenses. Furthermore, the JPP calls for the introduction of additional distribution chains to increase competition and subsequently lower prices for Madeira's residents.
