Alan Rick accuses Acre Governor Mailza of sidelining mayors

Senator Alan Rick warned that Governor Mailza Assis' administration is losing the support of municipal leaders by failing to respect and value them. He cited mayors Zequinha Lima of Cruzeiro do Sul, Gerlen Diniz and Railson Correia of Feijó, saying they were kept waiting for meetings and treated as opponents after backing his campaign. Rick pledged to honor and assist mayors who work for their communities, noting his practice of securing federal amendments for municipalities when needed.

The loss of mayor Zequinha Lima's backing to Rick highlighted what analysts describe as a fragile political strategy by Mailza. Critics pointed to a disorganized campaign structure, unclear leadership, and recent staff changes that undermine the governor's alliance with local officials. The episode underscores growing tensions within Acre's ruling coalition ahead of upcoming elections.
