The JPP party has issued various criticisms regarding local and regional governance in Portugal. In Funchal, the party challenged a Municipal Police proposal, arguing that such a force cannot independently resolve urban issues like traffic, parking, and public space maintenance. JPP representatives criticized the PSD for inconsistent positions and demanded clarity on the proposed police model.

In a separate matter, JPP deputy Miguel Ganança criticized the Regional Government and the PSD/CDS parties over structural teacher shortages. Ganança held the Regional Secretary of Education responsible for failing to manage an aging workforce and criticized the voting record of opposing parties regarding proposals to address teacher career injustices.
