Norberto Pita, regional president of ANFRE, stated that the 1st Meeting of Female Parish Councilors in Madeira will be historically significant for the island.
He emphasized the role of parish councils due to their proximity to the population and announced a tribute to former female presidents, acknowledging the "marks" they left.
Francisco Brito, president of ANAFRE, noted the challenging path for women in politics and the need for ongoing discussions, asserting that women should not have to choose between being a councilor and a mother or professional.
