Municipal Deputy João José Delgado - Accused of lying about the management of Esplanada Sodadi, he resorts to deathly silence and does not apologize to those involved
City of Nova Sintra, February 15, 2025 (Bravanews) - Municipal Deputy João José Delgado has been the target of heavy criticism on social media after controversial statements about the management of Esplanada Sodadi, located in Praça Eugénio Tavares, on Brava Island. In a recent comment, Delgado accused the Brava City Council, now under the leadership of Amandio Brito, of having handed over the management of the aforementioned infrastructure to a "supporter of his and a PAICV activist", suggesting that the concession had been made in a favored manner and without transparent criteria.
The deputy's accusation generated a great deal of repercussion, especially among internet users, who quickly expressed their outrage on digital platforms. Many questioned the veracity of the allegations, and now that the Brava City Council itself has published the public tender for the concession of the Esplanada Sodadi, the deputy in question is hiding from his own criticism.
Instead of clarifying his position or presenting evidence to support his allegations, João José Delgado decided to remain in "dead silence". The fact that he did not speak out publicly to correct or explain his words created even more discomfort among citizens, who expected the parliamentarian to act responsibly.
The situation was further aggravated by the lack of an apology, both to those involved in the management of the City Council and to the general public, who felt wronged by apparently unfounded statements. Delgado's silence, which could have been an opportunity to resolve the controversy in a mature and transparent manner, only increased the frustration of critics.
For many, the congressman's behavior reflects a disrespectful attitude and a lack of commitment to the truth and the interests of the population. The lack of public apologies demonstrates an attempt to avoid responsibility, which, according to some, further weakens the credibility of the local political class.
Criticism, particularly on social media, has intensified in recent days, with many citizens demanding that Delgado speak out clearly and responsibly about his accusations. The case has raised questions about the importance of ethics and transparency in the actions of public representatives, and the impact that rash statements can have on public trust in local institutions.
In this scenario, the question remains: will João José Delgado take a stand at some point to clarify his words or will he continue to remain silent, ignoring criticism and questions from public opinion?
