(), mayor of , states that he was surprised to receive the request made by the União Brasil bench of councilors this Monday (1st) for (União) to be nominated to run for president of the City Council in December.
“I saw it with surprise, last year the party talked about expelling him and now it has become the name of the party”, says the emedebista to the Panel.
The mayor refers to last year’s municipal election, when Rubinho, a member of Nunes’ support base at the time, decided to support Pablo Marçal (PRTB). Since then, the councilor has come to be seen as his enemy.
At the time, Milton Leite, president of the União Brasil municipal directory, said he would cut Rubinho’s electoral fund and analyze “possible expulsion”.
The Regional Electoral Court of São Paulo reversed, on Thursday (27), its decision to publish a false report involving the then candidate for mayor and now minister of the General Secretariat of the Presidency (PSOL).
Ricardo Nunes defends the re-election of the current president of the Chamber, Ricardo Teixeira (União). On the night of this Monday (1st), the group of councilors debated the possible suspension of Teixeira’s membership in the party for allegedly disrespecting an agreement reached last year according to which there would be councilors from União Brasil in charge of the Chamber.
Former president of the Chamber and president of the municipal directory, Milton Leite has defended compliance with the agreement and, therefore, Teixeira’s replacement.
The command of the São Paulo City Council for four years was agreed last year with Nunes and his base parties during the electoral campaign, in exchange for support for the mayor in his quest for re-election.
