Miguel Filipe Machado de Albuquerque (born 4 May 1961) is a Portuguese politician of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the current President of the Regional Government of Madeira. He took office as leader of the PSD of Madeira on 10 January 2015.[2] He was a former mayor (presidente da Câmara in Portuguese) of Funchal, Madeira. Albuquerque likes gardening and used to grow many types of roses in his Rose Garden and the Quinta do Arco.[3][4]
He was indicted in January 2024 for alleged active and passive corruption, embezzlement, receiving or offering undue advantages, abuse of power and influence peddling. The mayor of Funchal, Pedro Calado, and two businessmen were arrested in the same case and later released with accusations pending further investigations.[5]
