The balance of power in the chamber of Foz do Iguacu may change. Evidence appears at the first post-election meetings, in the first round. A group linked to mayor Chico Brasileiro did not elect a deputy and its weakening could spark dissent. Of the 13 votes cast by the ruling bloc, only seven can remain at the moment. The damage could be even greater as there are resignations of appointed city hall positions indicated by the allies.

The release would be the government’s retaliation against the CC, who would have worked for other candidates to the detriment of the group’s backed candidacy of First Lady Rosa Jeronimo. Infidels to the government were exposed within the PSD itself, the party of Mayor Chico Brasileiro.

clash in plenary session

At the meeting on the 5th there was a clash in which the votes on the project of adviser Adnan El-Sayed were 7 to 7. President Ney Patricio voted for mining in favor of a group allied with the mayor. Thus, the opinion of the Justice and Writing Commission prevailed over Adnan’s draft, which set a deadline for the city to carry out mowing in public places upon notification to any citizen by means of a request in the General Protocol.

The CC expressed the opposite opinion, despite the positive opinion of the legal department of the Chamber in favor of the project. There was a fight and an exchange of accusations. To issue a document, as a result of which the project was frozen, the commission relied on the opinion of IBAM, the Brazilian Institute of Municipal Administration. The project will set a deadline of 30 days for the city to facilitate the mowing and clearing of vacant land owned by the municipality.

Councilman Adnan argues that just as the prefecture notifies, sets a deadline and imposes a fine if a citizen fails to comply, the public administration must set an example and also clean up public lands within 30 days. “There is a law that charges the owner of private property within 30 days of notifying the city. This is the same deadline that I set for the mayor’s office,” Adnan explained.

The position of the advisers – still loyal to the Chico Brasileiro administration and against the Adnan project – is seen as retribution for the adviser’s support not of the first lady, but of the most voted candidate Hussein Bakri from Parana.

How was the vote

The following board members voted to shelve the project, thus agreeing with the CCJ’s opinion: Ney Patricio, Alex Meyer, Edivaldo Alcantara, Joao Morales, Anis Gazzaoui, Rogerio Cuadros, Valdir de Souza Magnino and Yasmine Hachem.

Voted for the continuation of the project: Adnan El Sayed, Admilson Galjardo, Cabo Cassol, Jairo Cardoso, Kalito Stockl, Protetora Carol and Dr. Freitas.
