The Juntos Pelo Povo (JPP) parliamentary group has submitted a legislative proposal to the Legislative Assembly of Madeira, suggesting the elevation of the parish of Arco da Calheta to the status of a town.
This initiative aims to recognize the historical, cultural, social, and economic relevance of the parish, which the JPP believes meets all legal requirements for such a distinction.
The party highlights Arco da Calheta's electorate size, public service network, economic dynamism, and historical heritage as justifications for the proposal, viewing it as an act of fairness towards the community.
