Julio Küller celebrates progress in PG and warns of 'political isolation' in the State Government

During the special transmission of the BNT portal in the parade in celebration of the 203 years of Ponta Grossa, Júlio Küller took the opportunity to take stock of the recent development of the municipality and highlight one of the biggest local bottlenecks: the lack of political representativeness at the state level. Known for his work of approximation between the City Council and the population, Küller pointed out that the city is experiencing a moment of resumption. “The city has been stagnant for many years.

And now we have resumed this pace of growth, we have to continue in this direction," said the candidate, recalling that, despite the recent difficulties, the municipality has made significant progress.

Growth driven by local resources

One of the highlights of the interview was the valuation of the investments made exclusively with resources of the municipality itself. Küller praised the management of the prefeita Elizabeth Schmidt, classifying it as "our biggest leader", and cited large works benchmarked by the taxes of the big-businesses.

“We have, for example, with our own money, the connection of Avenida Anita Garibaldi, which cost more than 15 million reais. We had the UPA of Uvaranas, which cost more than 22 million reais, also with our own money," said Küller, highlighting the municipal effort to ensure development.

Criticism of isolation and lack of state support

Despite celebrating internal progress, Küller was emphatic in criticizing the absence of the state government in support of Ponta Grossa’s demands. According to him, the city is politically isolated. "We have no representatives who can defend our city in the Legislative Assembly and also in the state government. The works will be slower,” he said.

He pointed to critical areas that evidence this lack of support, such as the problems faced with Sanepar and the obstacles surrounding the local Airport. "At no time has the state helped us or been on the side of the extremes," he said, comparing the situation with cities such as Maringá and Cascavel, which often receive millionaire contributions in infrastructure.

The weight of the votes and the appeal for representativeness

Putting his name at the disposal as a candidate for state deputy, Júlio Küller made an important political calculation to raise awareness of the local electorate. He recalled that Ponta Grossa holds about 200,000 valid votes, enough to elect at least five state representatives. However, the city has spent the last six years virtually without a voice in the Assembly.

“This campaign is very useful because of it. We have been virtually without a representative in the Legislative Assembly for the last six years,” he said. Küller concluded by reaffirming his commitment to be the bridge between the demands of the neighborhoods and the state resources: "Imagine having a representative who knows all the difficulties of the city, knows each neighborhood, in the Legislative Assembly, raising the flag of our city, defending and bringing more investment. That is my proposal.”
