Jardim’s new mandate: official ceremony speech

The newly elected President began his TENTH mandate with a soporific, vacuous, diatribe that lasted over an hour. He warned he would resist any measures that the prime minister might want to ‘colonially’ impose on Madeira to deal with the Madeira debt. ‘Madeira has not surrendered, nor will it surrender to Lisbon, despite the intentional and illegal attempts of those in Lisbon who tried, brazenly and with infantile strategies, to interfere in the last election results.’(i.e.mentioning the debt)

Jardim refuses to admit that the Madeira debt is of his own making and that the Madeiran people will have to bear the consequences of his misgovernment. Everything continues to be blamed on internal and external 'enemies of the people'. Miguel Mendonça, the chair of the Regional Parliament, also resorted to the same idiotic posturing, condemning ‘the violent and virulent internal and external attacks against [Madeira’s] autonomy’.

The new Democracy Party did not attend the ceremony since it does not recognize the legitimacy of a government elected due to blatant violations of the election laws.
