> As you wrote, the left governed there for decades
This is false. Quoting from my sibling comment:
Not quite. The state of Rio Grande do Sul had 2 PT (Worker's Party) Governors: Olívio Dutra (1999-2003) and Tarso Genro (2011-2015).
RS's capital city Porto Alegre had a much longer PT administration (Starting with Olívio Dutra in 1989, ending with João Verle in 2005).
> no adequate containment for this event was built
I came across a document from Porto Alegre's administration in 1992 [0] (first time with the Worker's Party in office, under the always thoughtful and overly intelligent Olívio Dutra) where they do an extensive analysis of the anti-flood systems in place, options on how to improve them and how important participation of civil society is in these processes.

> There was never a right or far-right government there since the 70s
This has to be a joke. Aside from those administrations I cited, everyone single one of the others has been right-wing.
you quote verifiable historical facts and sources! you will be downvoted to hell by the extreme-right-who-think-themselves-as-smart-centre. bon voyage my friend.
