Bahia 247 - The leader of the government bloc in the City Council, councilman Joceval Rodrigues (PPS), denies that there is "any disagreement" between the bloc and his colleague Henrique Carballal, who was expelled from the PT (opposition) and has not yet defined a new party. "He is a councilman who comes to contribute," says Joceval.
He adds that "the government bloc is cohesive" and that "there is no room for intrigue." "That information is incorrect. There is no disagreement whatsoever between the council members who make up the bloc and Councilman Carballal. He is a councilman who comes to contribute, and there are no objections to his name."
Carballal was expelled from the PT (Workers' Party) for his favorable stance towards Mayor ACM Neto (DEM) since the Democrat's inauguration in 2012. Relieved by his expulsion from the PT, he said he was going to the 'PPN, Mayor Neto's party'. Among the possible parties for the former PT member are PSDB, PPS, and DEM itself.
