The political rupture between Vice-Governor Walter Alves of the MDB and Governor Fátima Bezerra of the PT has led to significant changes within state agencies in Rio Grande do Norte. At least two officials appointed by Alves have vacated their strategic positions this week, which reflects the shifting political alignments within the state government. One notable departure includes the Secretary of Economic Development, Alan Silveira, who released a public letter detailing his resignation while expressing gratitude towards both Alves for the initial appointment and Bezerra for her trust and autonomy during his tenure.

Alan Silveira, who served in the position for eight months, indicated that his resignation was directed by his political party, the MDB, following the fracture in relations with the governor. His tenure, however, was highlighted by positive outcomes within the department, suggesting that both personal and political factors influenced the recent shakeup. The changes follow the publication of official resignation notices in the state's official journal, underscoring the seriousness of the political landscape in Rio Grande do Norte.

The implications of this political realignment could extend beyond these immediate resignations, as it suggests a potential instability within the state's governance framework. With key positions being vacated, the current administration may need to rapidly respond by filling these roles to maintain continuity in governance and economic development priorities. The political dynamics between the MDB and PT parties will likely be closely monitored by political analysts and stakeholders in the region as the situation evolves.
