The petition “For the safeguarding of Madeira's urban model”, which gathered 1740 signatures, will be debated in a plenary session of the Legislative Assembly of Madeira. The document was submitted to the Assembly on July 30th, and its plenary consideration was confirmed by the Assembly's Presidency on October 12th.
The decision to bring the petition to a plenary session was unanimously made by the Permanent Specialized Committee on Environment, Climate, and Natural Resources. Parliamentary groups and the independent deputy reserved their positions for the plenary debate, where each political force's stance will be revealed.
The initiative raises essential questions about Madeira's future, questioning what island will be left for future generations and the importance of the urban model in daily life, housing, mobility, and Madeiran identity.
