The decision of the TRE-RS is not yet final and can be appealed, ensuring the continuity of the current administration until all possible cases have been exhausted.
The mayor of Viamao, Rafael Bortoleti Dalla Nora, and his deputy, Marcel “Maninho” Faurie Bergmann, will remain in their positions while the process continues. This decision comes after the Regional Electoral Tribunal of Rio Grande do Sul (TRE-RS), by a vote of 4 to 3, annulled the elected card certificates.
The decision of the TRE-RS is not yet final and can be appealed, ensuring the continuity of the current administration until all possible cases have been exhausted. Meanwhile, the municipal government continues to function normally.
It is worth noting that the political rights of the mayor and deputy have not been revoked, meaning that both remain eligible to run again in the next election if they wish.
