Alagoas deputies demand legislative autonomy from incoming JHC administration

State deputies in Alagoas have signaled to incoming Governor JHC that maintaining the autonomy of the Legislative Assembly remains a top priority. Approximately 90% of the deputies are reportedly united in preserving the independence of the House of Tavares Bastos, a strength built during the leadership of Marcelo Victor.

Political maneuvering suggests that JHC will need to negotiate with Marcelo Victor regarding the selection of the next president of the Assembly. Furthermore, the legislative group intends to participate in discussions concerning the composition of the future executive secretariat.

Key political shifts under discussion include the potential transition of Paulo Dantas to the Court of Accounts, which may involve the early retirement of Otávio Lessa to allow him to assume the presidency of Arsal. The deputies aim to ensure the legislature functions as an independent body capable of analyzing executive projects rather than acting as a mere rubber stamp for government decisions.
