Without any allies present, Representative Major Araújo (PRP) gave an interview at the Legislative Assembly to explain the reasons for his resignation from the position of vice-mayor of Goiânia; Araújo said he suffered "boycott" and "censorship" from the PMDB leadership during Iris Rezende's campaign for mayor of the capital; "I know that Iris doesn't govern alone, he has his men and I didn't want to interfere," said the parliamentarian.
Goiás 247 - State Representative Major Araújo (PRP) gave an interview this Monday afternoon at the Legislative Assembly to explain the reasons for his resignation from the position of vice-mayor of Goiânia. Alone in a room at the Alego (Legislative Assembly of Goiás), Araújo said that he suffered "boycott" and "censorship" from the leadership of Iris Rezende's campaign throughout the campaign.
“I believe there could be conflicts if I took over, and I would end up isolated in the administration because I would continue to have my positions. I didn't see any success,” the deputy explained. Major Araújo's main justification for staying in the Assembly is that he cannot abandon his constituents, but his opponents claim that the salary difference is the main reason.
Araújo avoided criticizing the mayor-elect Iris Rezende. "I know that Iris doesn't govern alone, he has his men, and I didn't want to interfere. Goiânia deserves a harmonious administration. The PMDB and Iris can form alliances to elect a competent vice-mayor in the City Council. Iris is competent and above any of us to lead the process."
