The conclusions are oriented towards demonstrating that although the political apparatus is not in the reach of citizens, the mayor power is perceived as high when compared to the co-administrative collegiate. The lack of state consolidation as well as that of civil society avoid the exertion of a real control which would prevent that from the mayor's office, certain particulars would use this handicap in their own benefit.
