The JPP (Together for the People) party has announced a meeting this week with Sando Gozi, Secretary-General of the Democratic European Party (PDE) and Member of the European Parliament for Renew Europe. The agenda will focus on enhancing the strategy for ultra-peripheral regions, emphasizing adequate resources and concrete measures.
Key priorities include maritime transport for passengers and goods, housing, agriculture, environment, energy, and the cost of living. The JPP views this European connection as crucial for consolidating allies and redefining ultra-peripheral projects, aiming to transform regional inequalities into European causes.
Élvio Sousa, JPP's Secretary-General, highlighted the significance of the European dimension in defending island populations and asserting Madeira and the Azores as strategic assets for Europe's sovereignty and maritime reach.
