Two resolutions from the Regional Government publicly highlight and commend the achievements of Madeiran athletes in the Portuguese Handball Cup and the World Cup of Artistic Roller Skating.
The Council of the Regional Government approved two resolutions to publicly praise Madeiran athletes and sports entities for their recent national and international successes.
Through Resolution of the Regional Government Council No. 696/2026, athlete Joana Rosa Costa Semedo of Sport Lisboa e Benfica was praised for winning the 2025/2026 Portuguese Cup in the senior women's category in handball.
In turn, Resolution of the Regional Government Council No. 697/2026 publicly praises athlete Madalena Rodrigues Costa, Sporting Clube Santacruzense, and the Madeira Roller Skating Association. The praise is due to winning the World Cup of Artistic Roller Skating, in the free skating variant, in the senior women's category while representing the national team.
Both resolutions highlight that these excellent sporting results have brought prestige to the Autonomous Region of Madeira.
The Regional Government has authorised a non-repayable grant of €967.97 for the Centro Cívico Cultural e Social da Ribeira Seca - Tuna de Câmara de Machico. The amount covers VAT paid in 2025 on expenses essential to the tuna’s activities.
The Regional Government Council revoked two decisions to fund cultural projects after their organisers said they could not go ahead because rescheduling was not possible. The revoked grants were capped at €5,000 and €1,500.
The Regional Government has authorised the distribution, from 2026 to 2029, of costs for the restoration project at São João Baptista do Pico Fortress in São Pedro. The investment amounts to €103,780, plus VAT.
