Raul Spinola, a critic of the previous administration, praises transparency in the Brava City Council's competitions under new leadership

In recent statements, Spinola highlighted a significant change in the way municipal works are being carried out under the leadership of Amândio Brito. According to the critic, the previous administration, led by Francisco Tavares, was marked by a system that, in his assessment, favored "cronies and friends" in the awarding of municipal projects and works.

"During the previous administration, there was a notorious pattern where certain companies or individuals close to the administration seemed to have an unfair advantage in public tenders," wrote Raul Spínola in his comments on social media. Now, with the new administration led by Amândio Brito, there is a very welcome transparency and openness in the launching of tenders. For Spinola, there seems to be a genuine concern to ensure that all those interested have the same opportunities to participate and compete fairly.

Spinola emphasized that this new approach represents a significant advance for administrative morality and equal opportunities on Brava. He expressed his satisfaction at seeing that the criticisms he and other citizens have raised in the past seem to be being heard and that concrete steps are being taken to correct what he considered to be a flawed system.

Raul Spinola claims that it is encouraging to see that the new leadership is demonstrating a commitment to transparency and fairness in public procurement processes. It is hoped that this will be the keynote of Amândio Brito's tenure and that he will continue to promote an administration that benefits the entire Brava community, rather than a small circle of privileged people.

The statements by Raul Spinola, known for his critical and independent stance, gain even more relevance as they come from someone who didn't hesitate to express his disagreements with the previous administration. His praise for the new way of conducting public tenders suggests a real and perceptible change in Brava's municipal administration.

The new approach of the Brava City Council, under the leadership of Amândio Brito, seems to signal an effort to build a more transparent, equitable and responsible management, seeking the trust and participation of all the island's citizens. The positive reaction of figures like Raul Spinola indicates that these changes are being noticed and valued by the community. All that remains is to follow the next steps and see if this new dynamic will be consolidated as a hallmark of the current municipal administration.
