 City Mayors: Cesar Maia - Mayor of Rio de Janeiro
However, Maia’s three terms as Mayor of the country’s most famous city means he cannot be lightly dismissed, not least by President Lula, whom he is likely to face in the 2006 presidential elections.
Maia’s critics argued that his first term was concerned with superficial improvements to a problematic metropolis that shares world famous lush beaches and lavish entertainment with absolute poverty and dire life chances for many.
Maia’s more recent stints as Mayor have been characterised by some progress in his social programmes, possibly learning the lessons of his first term, and his attempts to reposition Brazil's former capital as a major international city.

Rio de Janeiro's citizens literally did not know what time of day it was this week when the city's mayor, Cesar Maia, defied a federal government order to end Brazilian summer time and put the clocks back an hour.
The decision meant that while the digital clocks scattered around Rio, which are controlled by the city government showed 9 o'clock, the famous clock on top of the main railway station, which is run by the federal government, showed 8 o'clock.
Maia described the Minister of Mines and Energy, Paulino Cicero, who decreed the end of summer time, as 'Doctor Bureaucrat' and launched a campaign which he termed 'pro-sun, anti-bureaucrat'.

Maia said that the chance that Romario, who currently plays for Brazilian league team Vasco da Gama, could score his 1,000th goal during the tournament would be an attractive added ingredient.

The mayor of this city of 5.5 million, César Maia, promised that the violence would not interfere with the famous New Year’s celebration on the Copacabana beach.
Maia and other officials said the gangs were also reacting against the presence of private “militias” in the squatter slums that were their stronghold.
These militias are composed largely of off-duty police officers, who are said to ignore the legal niceties required of them when they are in uniform and to be demanding payment from slum residents in return for killing or expelling gang kingpins.
