The political group Nova Direita has raised concerns regarding public security and staffing shortages within the Public Security Police (PSP) in Madeira. Regional coordinator Paulo Azevedo highlighted insufficient personnel for traffic control in Funchal, noting that staffing levels are inadequate following an increase in fatal road accidents.

To address these shortages, the party has proposed reassigning officers from administrative roles to active street duties. Nova Direita is also calling for temporary cooperation with the National Republican Guard (GNR) to increase road inspections and patrols during the summer festival season.
