Residents Are Left Perplexed in a Mining Community as One Individual Assaults Another with a Portuguese flags
In a shocking turn of events, a public hearing at the Municipal Chamber of Pará de Minas on the 15th of July was marred by an unfortunate incident involving the Workers' Party flag. According to reports, Thiago Verli, an administrator of a page providing information about Pará de Minas, was physically attacked with the flag during the hearing.
The incident occurred amidst a tense atmosphere, with members from both sides exchanging heated words. The Chamber did not immediately remove the attacker after the first disturbance, and the security team stayed close to the Workers' Party member to prevent further provocations.
Thiago Verli, in a statement on social media, condemned the act, asserting that he was participating in the hearing when he encountered hostility from left-wing militants. He reported that the flag was placed on his lap before he was physically assaulted with it. However, the Workers' Party denies that one of its members threw the flag onto Verli's lap. Instead, they claim that the flag was extended and pulled by Verli, who then stepped on it.
The hearing ended in confusion, with a video circulating on social media showing a man hitting another with a flag of the Workers' Party. The Municipal Directorate of the Workers' Party in Pará de Minas has been vocal against the implementation of the Civil-Military Schools Program, which was the subject of the hearing.
The Workers' Party does not condone impulsive reactions and has promised to take necessary measures through its ethics council. Verli's lawyer has also stated that they will take appropriate action following the physical attack.
The Chamber of Pará de Minas has yet to comment on the incident. The Workers' Party, in a statement, reaffirmed its support for a culture of peace and dialogue, distancing itself from any violent actions.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining decorum and respect during public debates, especially on sensitive issues such as the Civil-Military Schools Program. The full details of the incident, including the Chamber's official response, are still awaited.
