Youth of Bloco de Esquerda call for popular mobilization against cost of living

The Youth of Bloco de Esquerda Madeira are calling for public participation in the demonstration 'We can't live like this anymore', scheduled for this Saturday, October 10th, at 11 am, in front of the Legislative Assembly of Madeira, in Funchal.

The protest aims to draw attention to the rising cost of living and the economic difficulties faced by families, citing housing, food, and fuel prices as aggravating factors. The organization believes it is time for citizens to take to the streets and for Madeira to join national protests.

The youth structure emphasizes the importance of the demonstration being non-partisan and independent of political structures, bringing together people with different sensitivities. They consider the mobilization a warning to the Regional and Republic governments, demanding concrete responses to the population's difficulties, while not forgetting the specificities of island life.
