Sit there and behave, says mayor to councilwoman – 05/08/2023 – Panel

A councilwoman from Ilhabela intends to file a lawsuit against the mayor of the city, Antonio Colucci (PL), for political violence after an argument in which he ordered her to sit down and behave.

Dr. Diana (PL) was filming on the 21st of July at the place where a tender to manage the city’s social networks would be held. When the mayor arrived, a heated argument began between the two.

The mayor said that the parliamentarian could follow the session, but ordered her to sit down. “You sit there and behave yourself,” she says. “You have already tried to disrupt many bids”.

The councilwoman then replied that the mayor “disrupts public money”. The head of the municipal executive also calls her a liar, and she responds in the same terms.

At another time, the mayor said that, if the councilwoman got in the way, he would remove her from the room. “Take me off then,” she replies.

The councilwoman told Sheet who has been intimidated by the mayor, who, according to her, acts in an authoritarian and rude manner against women.

“This time, he crossed all limits,” he said, stating that the mayor treated her as “if I were his daughter and he had some authority over me.” “I felt pretty intimidated.”

The councilwoman is still studying the exact legal measure she will take, but mentioned the possibility of suing him based on the law on political violence.

The legislation, from 2021, which deals with situations of intimidation against women, cites in its scope situations such as “harassing, embarrassing, humiliating, persecuting or threatening” candidates or holders of mandate, with the aim of making it difficult for them to act.

In a note, the city hall responded to respect the independence of the Powers and said that parliamentarians have free access to public administration spaces.

“In this logic, the city hall cannot allow the transformation of processes and conducts of the public administration into a stage for the development of political activities, nor that public servants be constrained in the exercise of their function, a practice that has been carried out by the councilor in question”, says the councilwoman. management, note.

According to the administration, the communication contract questioned by the deputy is justified by the need “to meet the goals of public communication, which advocates offering and expanding the population’s access to all public policies implemented in the municipality, as well as expanding citizen participation”.
