The Bill had already left the agenda last week, when councilman Diego Guimarães (Republicanos) asked for a review. This Thursday (25), Adevair claimed that he was using his regimental prerogative as leader of the mayor in the House to call for the retreat. The project may return to the agenda in the next session.
The three parliamentarians are against the lottery. Sergeant Joelson, for example, stated that the project would “legalize the jogo do bicho” in Cuiabá. Eduardo Magalhães was even more emphatic. “In the municipalities where it was approved, this only resulted in jail, federal police at the door of others, this only resulted in death, only tragedy for Cuiabá, and we have the opportunity to bury this business,” he said.
Demilson, in turn, regretted that the project had been withdrawn from the agenda and stated that the best thing would be to “end it soon” with the matter. “This topic is already becoming a joke here in this House. Go there, come here, go there, come here, and it never ends, never puts it for consideration, it's time... if you don't have a vote, withdraw from the process and let the House continue working,” he said.
Despite the complaints, councilor Didymo Vovô (PSB), who was in the presidency of the House, accepted Adevair's request and removed the project from the session's agenda.
According to the text of the article, the resources raised from the activity will be destined for social assistance, sports and actions to combat covid-19. In addition to the health and social consequences, the mayor highlights that the coronavirus pandemic has also brought economic consequences.
