In recent years, Brava has been the scene of a type of aggressive politics, characterized by political terrorism and the persecution of opponents. This phenomenon has generated deep divisions in society, where opponents are constantly attacked, not only in terms of speeches, but also through direct actions aimed at discrediting, marginalizing and even harming those who think differently. The climate of hostility between political groups has become so exacerbated that many citizens have found themselves intimidated and silenced, fearing the consequences of expressing opinions contrary to the status quo.

The political terrorism that has affected the island in recent years has manifested itself in many ways, from public defamation to explicit threats and behind-the-scenes intimidation. This not only undermines people’s trust in democratic institutions, but also creates an environment where fear and misinformation become tools of social control. The use of hate speech, the denial of plurality of ideas and the creation of artificial divisions within the population are just some of the strategies that have been used to ensure power in the hands of a few.

Amândio Brito’s victory and his message of unity are therefore a clear sign that Brava’s citizens can no longer tolerate this climate of division. The new leader promises to end political persecution, giving everyone a voice and establishing a government based on mutual respect and dialogue. His message of “More Unity and Less Discrimination” is a call to rebuild bridges between the island’s different political and social groups, overcoming the vicious cycle of polarization that has weakened local democracy.

The victory also represents a direct rejection of the model of politics based on fear and psychological violence, a system that uses constant threat as a way to silence dissenting voices. Amândio Brito proposes a new type of leadership, more inclusive, which understands that the true strength of a nation or community lies not in the imposition of a single point of view, but in the ability to build consensus and respect differences.

In this new political cycle that is beginning, Amândio Brito will face an enormous challenge. The promised transformation is not limited to the field of local politics, but also requires constant work to raise awareness and strengthen democratic institutions. The fight against political terrorism, in its various forms, is one of the new leader's priorities. He knows that rebuilding trust in political structures requires transparency, respect for individual freedoms and the promotion of a more ethical political culture.

What is expected now is that the promises made during the campaign will be translated into real and effective actions. The people of Brava want a more humane politics, where ideological differences are not seen as a battlefield, but as an opportunity for mutual enrichment. Brava needs a government that is capable of uniting, not dividing; that seeks collective progress, without leaving anyone behind. This is a time for renewal, and Amândio Brito's victory is the first step on that path.

In short, the election of Amândio Brito is a victory not only for him, but for all who believe in a fairer, more united and more democratic Brava. Political terrorism and the persecution of opponents have their days numbered. Now, the future is one of hope, of new times for the island, where unity and peaceful coexistence must be the foundations for building a better society for all.
