Yan case: impeachment process is filed and mayor remains in office

Yan arrives at an hour presenting his defense and asks the councilors to be committed to the truth. The mayor understands that the population loses in the entire process. Yan claims that the councilors who signed the report recommending the impeachment are wrong.

The mayor also stated that he never restricted the right to information for councilors. Yan also said that he did not fail to respond to requests and, therefore, there are no illegalities.

Yan also stated that he was frightened by what he called "some councilors' lack of legal knowledge." The mayor bases his defense on the opinion of the Public Ministry, which states that there was no irregular act.

The mayor also stated that the Public Ministry filed the complaint against him for the same reason as the impeachment process. Yan highlighted the understanding of the prosecutor, who saw no intent in the case.

Yan also highlighted the fact that he is the nephew of councilor Fran Miranda (PL), president of the Processing Committee. The mayor's defense understands that it is illegal for the councilor to act directly in the impeachment process.

The mayor states that, in the government plan, public transport was a central idea. Yan said that management renewed 100% of the bus fleet, but without increasing ticket prices. The mayor also stated that the investigation has a political content and defined the process as an “aberration”.

Councilor Dr. Roseli Bueno (PL) thanked the Processing Committee for its work and stated that its position is based on the interpretation of the facts and evidence. Regarding one of the accusations, related to the Chamber's requests for information, he said that the City Hall presented responses and made the documents available for consultation. For her, there may have been an error or delay, but there is no evidence of irregularity.

Regarding the subsidy for public transport, the councilor stated that the purpose was to keep the service running and avoid fare increases, serving, according to her, the public interest.

Councilor Professor Jefferson (Podemos) stated that he represents the population of Caçapava and that he takes the stand with responsibility. He highlighted the filing of the complaint by the Public Prosecutor's Office and said that the Prosecutor's Office did not find sufficient elements to open a civil investigation, nor signs of administrative improbity. He also highlighted that, according to the MP, there was no proof of intent in the mayor's conduct.
