The Advisory Office of JSD Madeira organized a conference on migration scenarios in the autonomous region, featuring Sancho Gomes, the regional director of Communities and External Cooperation.
Gomes addressed the historical role of migration in shaping the Madeiran people and highlighted the influence of the region's emigration worldwide. He advocated for distinguishing between migrants and refugees and promoting an approach based on empathy and intercultural dialogue.
JSD Madeira deemed it relevant to discuss immigration with accurate figures, prioritizing security and acknowledging the need for immigrant workers in sectors like hospitality. The youth wing of the PSD criticized the PS government's handling of the SEF's extinction and agreed with the current government's changes to the 'manifestation of interest' regime.
