The satirical article describes problems at the Funchal City Council, in Madeira, Portugal, involving president Jorge Carvalho. The criticism focuses on the lack of documents and legal opinions during council meetings, where the opposition requests access to these materials but never manages to obtain them before the votes.
The author identifies the president's chief of staff as a central figure in this organization, noting that she came from Social Security, went through the council, and now holds the position of chief of staff. The article questions this political "internal mobility."
The opposition is described as trying to obtain documents and opinions without success, with different members of the Council giving contradictory responses about the whereabouts of these documents. The article satirizes the situation by comparing it to a "rumba" where no one knows the score.
The author concludes that at the Funchal City Council, they no longer govern with documents, but with faith, criticizing the lack of transparency and organization. The article uses a musical metaphor to describe the chaos in meetings, where documents, opinions, and explanations are missing, but the Council continues to proceed with the votes.
