The Judiciary of Amazonas has ruled to maintain part of the public competition for the Manaus City Council, specifically for the positions of municipal legislative analyst, journalist, and municipal legislative technician. This decision comes after the previous annulment of the competition on March 14, 2025, which was initiated following a recommendation from the Public Ministry of Amazonas. Initially, the cancellation only affected the positions of legislative attorney and physician, but further irregularities led to the broader annulment of all roles as noted by David Reis, the president of the City Hall.

The current ruling responds to a lawsuit filed by four candidates who were vying for the reinstated positions. The judges accepted their appeal, allowing the continuation of the competition for the specified roles while suspending the effects of the annulment decision concerning these particular job openings. This development brings hope to the affected candidates as it ensures that the contest for these three positions can progress despite earlier disruptions.

The Manaus City Council has indicated it will wait for the official publication of the ruling to obtain full access to the judicial decision. This careful approach is taken to ensure that they thoroughly analyze the ruling before making any further decisions regarding the conduct of the competition and to ensure compliance with legal obligations amidst ongoing scrutiny from the local public authorities and media. It reflects the complexities involved in public sector hiring and the importance of legal oversight in the process, especially in light of reported irregularities.
