Mayor is denounced for hiring 157 temporary employees even with a competition in force in MG

Hiring even with a competition in force According to investigations, the municipality carried out, in 2025, simplified selection processes for roles in the areas of Education and Administration, despite the existence of approved candidates in the reserve register for Public Competition No. 001/2024 for positions such as teacher, general services assistant, caregiver for special needs students, driver, nursing technician, nurse, doctor and gravedigger. According to the complaint, temporary hires were used to meet permanent demands of the municipal administration, without there being an exceptional situation that would justify the measure. For MPMG, temporary contracts began to fulfill the municipality's ordinary functions, contradicting the consolidated understanding of the Federal Supreme Court (STF). The Public Ministry also claims that the mayor failed to comply with a judicial agreement approved in 2023, signed in a public civil action that provided for the regularization of the civil servants. Under the commitment, the municipality should hold a public competition, appoint those approved and end irregular temporary hiring after the approval of the new competition. Another point highlighted in the complaint is the temporary hiring for functions that do not exist in the municipality's job list, such as laundry assistant and cook. According to the MPMG, the admissions occurred even without provision for these functions in the municipal administrative structure. The complaint also cites cases in which the number of temporary contractors would have exceeded the limit established by law. As an example, the Public Ministry states that the position of caregiver for special students has five vacancies in municipal legislation, but would have had around 35 temporary hires. In view of the facts, the MPMG asked the Court of Justice of Minas Gerais to receive the complaint and sentence the mayor for the crime provided for in article 1, item XIII, of Decree-Law nº 201/1967, which deals with the admission of civil servants against express legal provisions. Another case against the mayor In addition to the criminal complaint filed by the Public Ministry, the mayor of Miraí, Adaelson Magalhães, is also responding to a case in the Electoral Court related to temporary hiring. In August last year, he and the vice-mayor, Márcia Helena Machado de Siqueira (PSDB), had their diplomas revoked by the Electoral Court for abuse of political power. The decision highlighted irregular temporary hiring, use of the administrative machinery for electoral purposes, selective and retaliatory dismissal of civil servants and coercion of public servants. In the first instance sentence, the mayor was also sentenced to ineligibility for eight years and to pay a fine. The decision is not yet final and, therefore, the mayor and deputy remain in their positions. According to the Regional Electoral Court of Minas Gerais (TRE-MG), there is still no forecast for the judgment of the appeal.
