Nunes and Poulos: Rights of reply

Blackout: Boulos and Nunes accuse each other

Other issues under discussion
The debate also touched on other public services and concessions such as cemetery management and water supply. The theme of the funeral is described by Paulus. “Industry of death”Criticizing the high prices after the offers. On the other hand, Nunes maintained that these concessions were aimed at reducing corruption.
