THE REPUBLIC OF GRAVEDIGGERS: CASTELO BRANCO BETWEEN THE POWER THAT COMMANDS AND THE OPPOSITION THAT LETS IT PASS

This opinion piece by Fernando Jesus Pires, published in the newspaper OREGIÕES, criticizes the municipal governance of Castelo Branco, analyzing both the executive led by Leopoldo Rodrigues and, most importantly, the municipal opposition. The author uses the metaphor of "gravediggers" to describe a political culture of omission, where important decisions pass without adequate scrutiny, opportunities are missed, and problems are ignored. The piece argues that the true function of the opposition is not ornamental, but rather one of active oversight, and that both those who govern and those who oversee should be judged by their actions and omissions. The article calls for a cultural change in local politics, where difficult questions replace "let it pass" and where each responsible party assumes their decisions before the citizens.
