Territorial limit between Aracaju and São Cristóvão TV Sergipe The municipalities of Aracaju and São Cristóvão signed, this Friday (17), the Technical Agreement that validates the georeferenced survey of the new dividing line between the two cities. ?Georeferencing is a technical mapping process that assigns exact geographic coordinates of a location. According to the capital's city hall, the document complies with a determination by the Federal Court and contributes to the holding of a plebiscite, a popular consultation in which residents of the affected areas will be able to choose which municipality they wish to belong to. The Term will be forwarded to the Court of the 3rd Federal Court and to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). ?

The prosecutor also guaranteed that the population of the affected region will not be left without assistance until the situation is legally defined. Plebiscite Territorial dispute between Aracaju and São Cristóvão: understand the plebiscite proposal The Senate had approved, in March this year, the Complementary Bill that defines guidelines for holding a plebiscite before the dismemberment of part of a municipality for incorporation into another, which influences the territorial dispute in the Expansion Zone between Aracaju and São Cristóvão. According to the project, part of the territory of a municipality can only be separated, for the purposes of incorporation into another, upon initiative by the state legislative assembly, feasibility study and approval, in a plebiscite, by the voters of the municipalities involved. Understand the history of the legal battle Government concludes report that draws limits between Aracaju and São Cristóvão Lucas Andrade/TV Sergipe The Federal Supreme Court (STF) upheld, in 2014, a 2012 Federal Court ruling in Sergipe, confirming that it was unconstitutional for Aracaju to manage the territorial limits of São Cristóvão from 1989 onwards, without consulting the interested population. The change reflects the increase in the financial transfer made monthly by the Union and the state to São Cristóvão and a reduction to Aracaju. The Legislative Assembly of the State of Sergipe (Alese) reported, in April, that it began procedures to continue and establish legal rules for cases of dismemberment and incorporation of areas between cities, which was sanctioned this month.
