The ordinary session of the Amazonas Court of Accounts (TCE-AM), held in Manaus on the 9th, was marked by a heated exchange of insults between councilors Ary Moutinho Jr. and Luís Fabian. The debate, which focused on issues surrounding public education, quickly escalated into personal accusations and calls for investigations, highlighting deep-seated tensions among the council members. Video footage from the session captures the intensity of the confrontation as public officials grapple with critical matters affecting education in the state.

As the debate unfolded, councilor Ary Moutinho criticized certain municipalities for not participating in the discussions, suggesting that they acted wisely by avoiding what he characterized as a corrupt educational framework in Amazonas. His remarks were pointed as he lauded the municipalities for not engaging with what he termed a 'disguise' in the education sector, calling for accountability and even suggesting that past education secretaries should face incarceration for their mismanagement. This outburst underscores the urgency many feel regarding educational reforms in the state.

This incident not only reflects the ongoing challenges within the Amazonas education system but also brings to light the contentious relationships among councilors tasked with overseeing fiscal accountability. The clash raises questions about the effectiveness of the TCE-AM in addressing the significant educational issues in the region and whether personal disputes may overshadow more pressing systemic reforms needed in Amazonas.
