The mayor of São Paulo began to adjust the key positions of the municipal government

Since the death of former mayor Bruno Covas on May 16, Mayor Ricardo Nunes (PDP), who has been in charge of São Paulo for nearly two months, made the first round of adjustments to the city's top administrative positions last week. Nines intends to improve the position of his allies in the municipal government.

Caio Luiz, the mayor of Lapa's Western District, was removed from his position as district chief and transferred to the District Government Office as deputy director. Lapa is one of the areas controlled by the PSDs. Louis worked under former Governor Geraldo Alckmin (SPD) and served as Mayor of Lapa in the Southern District. Nines handed over the position of mayor of Lapa to the Greens in the Mayors' Campaign Coalition, which has nominated Fernanda Galdino, who had served as mayor in the penha and Aricandova districts in the eastern part of the city, to replace Luis. The Lapa district is the "core district" of the Perdizes, Vila Romana, Vila Leopoldina, Alto da Lapa and Barra Funda districts, with a budget of R$365 million for 2021. When He took office, Ninees claimed that his management model was still "KVAS management", but he noted that there were many local leaders whose positions were vacant and needed to be used to appease the League. He stressed that adjustments similar to Mayor Lapa will not occur in the short term, but the performance ranking of district chiefs set by the city government is not a piece of paper.

Ms. Nines recorded a video of the decision to adjust Lewis's position and published it in the WhatsApp group to prevent complaints from the PSDs. He claimed that the invitation to Louis to be transferred was taken into account his ability and perseverance. Fernanda, who maintains good relations with the Democratic Socialist Party, was dismissed from the district chief position by Kvas in 2018 after being investigated by the authorities on suspicion of participating in the criminal gang of urban public housing. Fernanda took up a position this year in the office of Roberto Tripoli, chairman of the São Paulo City Party branch of the Green Party. Tripoli, who claimed to want the Greens to be more involved in the work of the municipal government in the future, considered the job exchange to be normal because the Greens were one of the allies Kvass and Nines were running for and had never recommended anyone to the city.

However, Trepoli publicly complained a month ago at a meeting of city council party leaders about the city's practice of appointing Sidnei Abdalla, the president of the City Housing Corporation (Cohab), without consulting city councilors. Regarding the nomination of Fernanda, the Municipal Publicity Office said that the lawsuit against Fernanda had been closed and had nothing to do with Fernanda, and that it was normal for managers to adjust positions according to importance and need.
