The information was given by the Minister of the Civil House, Rui Costa, in conversation with journalists.

We are going to institutionalize this return, establish a flow. The idea is that the government has regular meetings with governors and with a forum for mayors to give capillarity to government policies and seek, I would say, greater efficiency in the act of governing”, said the minister.
