Aveiro political tension rises following attorney general dismissal

Political tension has increased in Aveiro, Pará, following the reported dismissal of the municipal attorney general, Alice Gonçalves, by Mayor Gerdal Diniz. Gonçalves is the daughter of former mayor Vilson Gonçalves.

The move occurs amid signs of a rift between political allies who supported Diniz’s election. Reports suggest that members of the former mayor’s group are being removed from municipal administrative roles, leading to apprehension among civil servants and voters regarding the criteria for these dismissals. Critics have characterized the changes as potential political persecution, though official confirmation regarding the specific motivations for the dismissal has not been released by the Mayor’s office.
