Already at the implementation stage, the expansion of the SC-445 road – the Paulino Burigo highway – continues to create conversation starters. The debate is spreading across the state and causing a stir even in the Legislature. This is because there would be a local politics component to the situation. This achievement is considered a strength of the government of the current mayor of Dalvania Cardoso (PP).

Once the work has gone through stages such as planning, releasing government resources, and is more than half completed, the group affected by the expropriation reacts and demands a redefinition of the work. This movement is led by politicians associated with the MDB and the local opposition.

State MP Volney Weber (MDB) was questioned this week by MP Rodrigo Minotto (PDT) in an exchange that exposed political bias. Weber perceived the interrogation in tune with the speech of the city emedebists.

There are several elements to this scenario, such as the fact that the current government – Jorginho – is questioning the amount allocated by his predecessor. For just over three kilometers of the triple highway, it costs more than 40 million reais.

The point is that this debate, seen by the opposition as a simple move to prevent the current mayor from having much influence on this work, could stop everything. It would be a work in progress.

The opposition denies that the issue is of political interest.
