The positioning of the councils. was revealed by state. According to Teich, “the argument presented today was different from the one presented to me last week,” he said, regarding the council managers.

After the statements of Nelson Teich, the president of Conass, Alberto Beltrame, said that the presentation made by the ministry was “incomplete and unstable” and that the portfolio “avoided questions, postponing more details until Wednesday.”
