Court sets final deadline for the city hall regarding intervention in the Guaicurus Consortium

A court in Campo Grande established March 9, 2026, as the final deadline for the city hall and regulatory agencies to present a plan to regularize public transport in the capital.

The court in Campo Grande has mandated that the local government and its regulatory agencies must submit a comprehensive action plan for the regularization of public transportation by March 9, 2026. This decision, made by Judge Eduardo Lacerda Trevisan from the 2nd Court of Diffuse Rights, Collective and Homogeneous Individuals, also requires an in-depth administrative investigation into the contract with the Guaicurus Consortium. The investigation aims to scrutinize the dealings between the municipality and the consortium in the context of public transportation services.

Historically, the timeline for the submission of the investigation plan had been adjusted due to the holiday season, which temporarily halted judicial deadlines until January 20. Initially, the deadline was set for February 19, but this was recalibrated to account for business days and judicial recesses. The sharp determination from the court underscores the urgency placed on resolving issues surrounding public transport in the capital, emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability from local authorities.

This ruling highlights both the challenges and responsibilities that the city faces in ensuring efficient and reliable public transport for its citizens. The community's growing demands for better services and governance make this deadline pivotal, as it sets a precedent for future accountability in public service contracts and reinforces the judiciary's role in monitoring municipal compliance with legal obligations.
