The analysis of the graph shows the great regularity in relation to central government and indirect and autonomous administration, observing variations only in local administration and in independent entities (where there was respectively an increase of two percentage points and one reduction by three percentage points). A look at the absolute numbers, in addition to what supports the variations noted, allows to register the increase of the procedures of complaints aimed at the regional administrations, with more emphasis in the case of the Autonomous Region of Madeira (from 29 cases to 51) than in the case of the Autonomous Region of the Azores (from 32 cases to 44). The conclusion is that the majority of complaints originating from residents in the territory of any of the Autonomous Regions are aimed at entities that are not part of the regional administration. | 27
