Three months before the carnival, the presidents of the 14 samba schools of the special group say they are surprised by the reduction of R $ 500,000 of the subsidy paid by the town hall. As published in the Official Journal of the Municipality, each school will receive R $ 500,000.
According to the president of the Independent League of Samba Schools (Liesa), Jorge Castanheira, at several meetings with the City Hall, each club would receive R $ 1 million. With the cut, the leaders must reduce costs and opt for cheaper materials to make the show in Sapucaí.
Mocidade already replaces more expensive mirrors with metallic materials. On Monday, an emergency meeting will be held at Liesa headquarters to discuss the problem.
– It's a dramatic moment that schools are going through – said Castanheira, adding that each school had up to now 4.5 million rand.
The amount includes the payment of the right of transmission and the sale of the tickets, except that the amount does not reach this total unless all the tickets are sold. The President of the Brazilian Association of Hotel Industry of the State of Rio de Janeiro (ABIH-RJ), Alfredo Lopes, said he feared a reduction in the number of tourists:
– The problems create insecurity for those planning to spend the carnival in Rio: other cities that do not have these problems eventually attract people. We witnessed, for example, the growth of the carnival of São Paulo last year
In a note, Riotur said that the discussions between the mayor and the representatives of the schools provided for a contribution of one million rand per badociation. The resources that would make the grant feasible would be split between the municipality (R $ 500,000) and Uber sponsored by Riotur (R $ 500,000).
However, Castanheira said at meetings with Marcelo Alves, president of Riotur and Paulo Messina, secretary of the Civil House, it was agreed that it would be R $ 1 million only from the town hall, after the withdrawal of Uber to sponsor a part of the party.
A week ago, Uber informed the Riotur. support. With the transmission of the pbadenger transport application, each popular elite group received R $ 500,000 at the last carnival, in addition to the $ 1 million R $ grant. Uber decided to terminate the contract on the order of the compliance department of the US headquarters, because of the Furna da Onça operation, which had resulted in the imprisonment of Chiquinho da Mangueira, deputy and president of Verde and Rosa
– Cost to believe that the prefecture is instead the road of the show. A study by the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV) proves that carnival generates resources. Last year, for example, they stood at about $ 3 million. The holiday is an investment that pays, remembers Castanheira
Thursday, Riotur tried to replace Uber, but could not. He invited 99, another transportation request, to pay the $ 500,000.
Fr. Miguel Independiente's vice-president, Rodrigo Pacheco, announced that he would propose at Monday's meeting to reduce the number of components, or even floats. But according to Fernando Horta, president of Unidos da Tijuca, the regulation does not allow the reduction of the number of cars:
– I can not also arrive for a component and say that it will not scroll. The school situation is hopeless. We had a grant of R $ 1.5 million and the R $ 500,000 was sponsored by Uber. The school is struggling to pay the hundred employees of the shed. and from now on, we do not even have the money to pay the bills of light and water, which rise to R $ 30,000 per month.
Some badociations have block billing, as in the case of Portela. But the president of the school, Luiz Carlos Magalhães, said that he was perplexed:
– As a manager, I need to know how much and when I will receive. There is only bad news about carnival.
