Carlos Pereira, a prominent socialist figure from Madeira, has labeled the demand by PS Madeira leader Paulo Cafôfo for the resignation of Eduardo Jesus, the Regional Secretary of Tourism, Environment, and Culture, as a "joke".** This comes after Jesus used inappropriate language during a debate in the Madeira Parliament concerning the 2025 Autonomous Region of Madeira Budget.
Despite acknowledging the seriousness of Jesus's conduct, Pereira expressed astonishment at Cafôfo's demand, questioning his legitimacy and credibility. Pereira remarked, "The joke of this statement speaks for itself! I regret to say, but the legitimacy of the so-called [Paulo Cafôfo] for this task is on the same level as his credibility."
This incident highlights the deep internal divisions within PS Madeira, with Pereira predicting a continued "accelerated route of weakening" for the party in the upcoming Municipal Elections. He also criticized the regional political environment as "authoritarian and completely 'at ease'."
The controversial statements were shared on Facebook but have since been deleted.
