Cuiabá Municipal Chamber faces political rift over rule changes
Political tensions are escalating in the Cuiabá Municipal Chamber following a decision by the Mato Grosso Court of Justice (TJMT) to uphold current internal regulations. The court denied a request to lower the quorum required for strategic changes to the Chamber's rules, maintaining the requirement of a two-thirds majority, or 18 out of 27 votes.
This ruling impacts the reelection bid of current Chamber President Paula Calil. Mayor Abilio Brunini had sought to reduce the necessary votes to 14 to facilitate her reelection, a move that contributed to a political rift. Council members Dilemário Alencar and Baixinha Giraldelli have broken away from the governing group after the failed legal attempt.
Councilman Rafael Ranalli has defended Calil, stating she will use all available means to secure her position. Meanwhile, Councilman Daniel Monteiro criticized the attempt to use the judiciary to alter legislative rules, arguing that the Chamber must maintain its legitimacy by debating and voting on such matters internally.
