Sources: 3. Developments: 2. The political party ADN Madeira has raised several challenges regarding regional governance and fiscal transparency in Madeira. In early October 2026, the party demanded full transparency concerning a proposal to double the tourist tax in Funchal from 2 to 4 euros per person per night. Following a unanimous approval by the Municipal Chamber, the proposal entered a 30-day public discussion period. ADN Madeira requested the release of the economic and financial studies supporting the increase, noting that official indicators suggest a slowdown in regional tourism segments. Shortly thereafter, the party sought clarifications regarding a Court of Auditors report on a cooperation protocol between the Regional Government and the Public Security Police (PSP). The protocol involves allocating 30% of road fine revenue to police infrastructure and equipment. ADN Madeira questioned the legal framework and criteria for these funds, noting that the Court of Auditors identified a lack of specific legal justification and defined timeframes for the agreement, which involved approximately 748,700 euros in 2024. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-10: ADN Madeira challenges Court of Auditors over PSP funding protocol ADN Madeira is seeking clarification after the Court of Auditors questioned the legality of a protocol allocating 30% of road fine revenues to support the Public Security Police in Madeira. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/adn-madeira-challenges-court-of-auditors-over-psp-funding-protocol ### 2026-10-03: ADN Madeira demands transparency over Funchal tourist tax increase ADN Madeira is calling for the full disclosure of economic studies following a decision to double Funchal's tourist tax from 2 to 4 euros per night, effective January 2027. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/adn-madeira-demands-transparency-over-funchal-tourist-tax-increase --- Cite as: ADN Madeira political challenges in Madeira.
