Controversy On June 14, 2018, the Official Gazette of the Municipality of Sobral published Decree No. 2055, signed by Mayor Ivo Gomes, expropriating the land on which the headquarters of the Plus FM branch in Sobral is located. At the time, the action was part of the Alto do Cristo urbanization project, which provided for the requalification of the Alto do Cristo region. The decree was defined as "dictatorial" by the website Ceará News 7, which belongs to the group that controls the radio station, since it would attack stations that are critical of Ivo Gomes' management, in this case Plus FM and Paraíso FM, which also received a decree of expropriation of land.
