A speech by the head of the government, Mayor Diadem José de Filippi Junior (PT) in the Chamber, sparked controversy in the city. Orlando Vitoriano (PT) acknowledged that there is leadership support through the appointment of positions on the administration committee when speaking at the Legislature Gallery, and that this process is part of the political process.

Vitoriano, who is a preliminary federal parliamentary candidate backed by the Philippi administration, discussed the formation of the G-6, a group of six advisers opposed to the PT administration in Diadema, which includes Lucas Almeida (DEM), Boy (DEM). ), Reinaldo Meira (pro), Eduardo Minas (pro), Marcio Junior (Podemos) and Cabo Angelo (PV). Before Vitoriano’s speech, some of these parliamentarians justified the political movement by the fact that, leaving the base of support, they sought to take care of the people.

“When you decide to go to government, when you choose to be a part of this government, it is because you believe in this government. He understands that social and economic policies and the way they are managed will work. Another way to become part of a government that you may not believe or completely disagree with is when you get a job. Negotiating to join a government does not go beyond a legal or democratic process. This is the part. If he does not vote for government projects or does not believe in government policy, but participates in it, then he does so because he has a position there. This can be done in two ways, ”he commented. The statement was broadcast on social media, as the meetings are broadcast on the official channels of the chamber.

“If these two points do not exist, then that (the group) does not participate, it is legal and democratic. Then the government goes there and gets to work. This is politics in the country, it is done in Congress. This is not unusual. Perfectly normal, ”corrected Vitoriano, who praised the role of the opposition in his speech, saying that the presence of opponents of the administration is also important for democracy. After that, he questioned the performance of the members of the Big Six. “We cannot say that I am the government or the people. I respect that thought. But does this mean that the others here (who are at the base) are not human? All the other advisers who rely on the government, aren’t they people? When the government is wrong, you work to help the government fix it. This will not make the fire worse. “

Excerpts from Vitoriano’s speeches were recorded and shared by political groups Diadema on WhatsApp and Facebook. Diario’s team interrogated the Filippi administration about the adviser’s statements, and until the closure of this report, the government did not show itself.

In a conversation with Diario Vitoriano, he commented that “I actually meant that the one who holds a position in the mayor’s office, because he believes in the government project and seeks to help in the management of the city.”
