Albuquerque maintains support for fuels

SAPO15 September 2026 at 18:06

The president of the Regional Government of Madeira, Miguel Albuquerque, maintains support for fuels for the Madeiran population. This position comes at a time when the regional executive is preparing new measures to reduce the cost of fuels in the region.

The Madeiran executive will once again use ISP (Excise Duty on Petroleum Products) as an instrument to guarantee lower prices in Madeira. This fiscal tool allows the regional government to intervene directly in fuel prices.

The measure aims to protect Madeiran families from high fuel prices, which have been rising significantly in recent times. The autonomous region has implemented various measures to mitigate the impact of these costs on the daily life of the population.

The return to this support policy comes at a time when many citizens face increased economic difficulties with the cost of living. The regional government justifies the intervention as necessary to guarantee territorial cohesion and the competitiveness of the region.

Why this matters

Readers in Madeira face the direct impact of this measure on fuel prices, which will be lower thanks to the regional government's subsidy. This decision occurs in a context of effort to mitigate the cost of living in an island region where fuels have significant weight in the domestic economy.
