Furthermore, at the date it was approved, Wiki Education Brazil was already in open conflict with the existing affiliate in Brazil, which makes the approval decision by AffCom absolutely incomprehensible. Actually, I really fail to understand why the candidatures to AffCom continue allowed to be proposed in absolute secrecy, leaving any problems caused by their approvals to be dealt with by the community after the problem is already installed. Does not seem a very clever way of acting.
