Apologia à inconstitucionalidade: os desdobramentos em torno da criação e formação da municipalidade do Ladário-MS (1948-1955)

Abstract

This work aimed to analyze the breakdowns around the creation of the municipality Ladario and its respective detachment from the municipality of Corumbá, which resulted the formation of a new space marked by intense debates in both local and state levels through an emancipatory and polemic process, based on local politic interests held by the speech of progress and economic growth and, implicitly, based on the politic and administrative control of the new territory that emerged as a politic strategy. Thus, both written and oral sources were analyzed integrally, such as sources from the executive and legislative powders at state and municipal levels. The oral sources encompassed the personal stories from the inhabitants of Ladario based on their perspective in relation to the topic “emancipation”. The methodology for the analysis focused the attempt of perceiving what is implicit inside the sources, especially when related to the minutes, the main source of this research. The minutes, the narrative documents of the legislative powder, were embedded with subjectivities and deserved special attention, once their rapporteur had his own way of interpreting the reality. Thus, the speech of unconstitutionality is perceived as a tool for masking the politic and administrative interests in favor of the detachment, which consisted on creating favoritisms in local scope, from the idea of “detach for a better government”. Thus, the politic and administrative emancipation of the municipality as a legitimated speech aimed to establish not only a proper strategy of government, but also the guarantee of control of the split territory focusing its own interests.
