Overview

• A video published by local outlet ac24horas shows the councilors trading insults and punches, while the chamber’s official YouTube stream did not capture the corridor altercation and was cut off shortly after.
• Maycon Moreira said he was assaulted, stated he only defended himself, and recorded a police report at the local station.
• Denis Araújo did not deny initiating the aggression, said he felt deeply offended by remarks, and issued an apology for the incident.
• The dispute began after tribune remarks in which Araújo accused Moreira, who leads the CCJ, of favoring his own proposals, a charge Moreira countered by saying decisions are technical and subject to plenary appeal.
• Council president Charmes Diniz said the chamber’s legal department is handling the case, with no disciplinary measures announced and no response from the mayor to media inquiries.
