This is a report of sirkis@spacenet.com.br:

The october municipal elections in Brazil had a fairly interesting outcome for the Brazilian Greens with the election of 13 green mayors of small cities or towns in countryside areas, in the states of São Paulo (6 mayors), Pernambuco (3); Rio de Janeiro (1); Bahia (1); Maranhão(1) and Mato Grosso do Sul(1). In the previous 1992 election the Green Party had elected only 3 mayors, in the state of São Paulo. Greens also elected 189 city council deputies in 14 states.(In 92 there were 50 elected) These figures are not final for five states have not yet informed their results.

The outcome in the big cities was not that good. City council deputies were elected in Belo Horizonte ande Maceió but there were some important setbacks in Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, São Paulo, Curitiba and Florianópolis.
New electoral regulations have created yet bigger legal hardships for the small political parties, including the Greens.Nevertheless, globally, the October 96 municipal elections can be considered positive, for the greens, and a network of small green-governed municipallities is on its way.

Greens will also take parte in several new city administrations in charge of environment departments on the basis of a previously agreed upon and signed programs, as in the last four years in important cities like Rio de Janeiro,Salvador, Rio Branco,Bauru and others, where greens have been in charge of the local environmental policies.
