MP takes legal action for competition for the city hall of Campina Grande to have a racial quota Disclosure The Public Ministry of Paraíba (MPPB) filed a public civil action so that the competition for the City Hall of Campina Grande, in the Agreste region of Paraíba, starts to reserve vacancies for black candidates. The action was filed with the 1st Public Finance Court of the municipality and published by the agency this Tuesday (21). ? Click here to follow the g1 PB channel on WhatsApp g1 contacted Campina Grande City Hall and the competition's organizing committee, but did not receive a response until the last update of this report. According to the Public Ministry, the competition notice fails to comply with a municipal law that determines the reservation of 10% of vacancies in public competitions in the municipal administration for black candidates. According to the prosecutor's office responsible for the action, the notice presents an "insurmountable defect" by providing for a significant number of vacancies for positions at primary, secondary and higher levels without taking into account the racial quota policy provided for in municipal legislation.

In the action, the MPPB asks the City of Campina Grande and the organizing committee to rectify the notice within five days to include the reservation of 10% of vacancies for black candidates in each position, prohibiting the filling of these vacancies by broad competition. The Public Prosecutor's Office also requests that the amended notice be widely publicized, indicating the number of vacancies reserved for each position, the competition criteria, the classification method and the procedures for calling and appointing quota candidates. If the changes affect the competition schedule, the organization also requests that registrations be reopened for a minimum period of 10 days. Furthermore, the MPPB requests that the Court prevent the approval of the competition and the nomination of candidates until the notice is brought into compliance with municipal legislation. As a complementary measure, it requests, if necessary, the suspension of the competition, the application of a daily fine in case of non-compliance and, at the end of the process, the partial annulment of the notice to guarantee the reservation of places for black candidates throughout the validity of the competition.
