President Miguel Albuquerque of Madeira is facing a political crisis due to his PSD-M party's struggles to form agreements with other parties for governance.

The Regional Government is meeting with Chega, IL, and PAN to discuss proposals for a new executive program.

This meeting follows the withdrawal of the Government Program from parliamentary discussion.

The PS and JPP have refused to participate in the meeting, calling it a 'sham' and lacking credibility.

PS points to issues with the PSD government as their reason for not participating.

JPP emphasizes the importance of integrity and respect for constituents while highlighting ongoing political dynamics.

No party secured a majority in the recent regional elections, making consensus-building among different parties crucial.

The Regional Budget approval process is under scrutiny, with calls for stability, transparency, and adherence to democratic values.

Concerns are raised about the impact of the limited budget on healthcare and social initiatives in Madeira.
