Brava: MpD MP João José Delgado criticized for threatening to block municipal administration

In recent statements, Delgado said that the CMB will face difficulties in getting its management documents approved, since he and his party will not be willing to support any measure that they consider inappropriate. The parliamentarian also spared no criticism of the mayor, pointing to an "autocratic" management, which he said was not listening properly to the concerns of the population.

The reaction of the Mayor has been one of silence, offering no public statements on the accusations made by Delgado. However, sources close to the municipal administration guarantee that the council will not take any notice of criticism which, in their view, is aimed at destroying the expectations of the citizens of Brava. According to these sources, the council's main priority is to work for the well-being of the island, without letting itself be influenced by political or party divisions.

The City Council's management, according to these same sources, is focused on joining forces and collaborating with all citizens who, regardless of their political orientation, are willing to contribute to the island's development. The message conveyed by the council is clear: the work will be done on the basis of the common interest of the population and not on partisan agendas that could undermine the unity needed for Brava's progress.

The situation has once again exposed political tension, a tension that has been growing recently. Delgado's criticisms are seen by many as part of a strategy to weaken the President's administration, especially at a time when the City Council is looking for spaces for dialogue with living forces, churches, the government and migrants in order to implement projects of relevance to the local community. Among the few who support Delgado's attitude, there is the idea that the current administration has not provided effective responses to the island's challenges.

On the other hand, those who defend the CMB President argue that Delgado's criticisms are yet another attempt to politicize public management issues, distorting the serious and dedicated work that has been carried out by the City Council. "The people who make these criticisms are just trying to destroy what has been achieved, without thinking about the negative impact this could have on the lives of the citizens of Brava," said a source close to the municipal executive.

João José Delgado's position seems to be increasingly isolated within his own party. Five MpD deputies in the Brava Municipal Assembly have maintained absolute silence in the face of their colleague's position, which reinforces the idea that they don't share the same criticisms or the strategy adopted by him. In an interview with Bravanews, one of the deputies said that he considers Delgado's position to be "hasty" and that "it doesn't reflect the objective that guides the MpD", which will always be to work "for Brava and for the people."

This lack of internal support in the party reflects a growing distance between Delgado and the other members of the MpD, which raises questions about the party's cohesion and its political strategies for Brava. The statement by the MP who spoke to Bravanews suggests that tensions within the MpD may be rising, while the island faces management and development challenges.

While the political discussions continue, the population of Brava remains attentive to the unfolding of the start-of-term activities of this new administrative body, eager for concrete solutions to the problems affecting the island. The Town Hall, for its part, assures that it will continue to work transparently and with a commitment to providing a better future for all residents, without discrimination or partisanship.
