Overview
- The bill establishing the new Plano Nacional de Cultura now heads to congressional review with potential debate and amendments.
- A presidential decree created the Comissão Intergestores Tripartite as a permanent forum to coordinate Union, states and municipalities and to oversee budget execution.
- The plan consolidates the Sistema Nacional de Cultura, with the culture minister comparing its federative model to a SUS-style arrangement that binds shared responsibilities.
- The text affirms rights such as universal access, freedom of expression and creation, preservation of memory and heritage, participation and social control, accessibility, and fair remuneration for authors.
- Policy is organized into eight axes covering democracy, wellbeing, the cultural economy, education, human rights, territory, digital rights and climate action, drawing on proposals from the 4th National Conference of Culture and extensive territorial and digital input; the launch ceremony gathered about 600 territorial agents and committee representatives at the Planalto.
