Overview
- A cooperation agreement with Liesa is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 19, to formalize the transfer.
- The R$12 million will be routed through Liesa for equal distribution to the 12 Grupo Especial schools.
- Embratur president Marcelo Freixo and the Ministry of Culture confirmed the allocation, with Liesa president Gabriel David and deputy executive secretary Cassius Rosa set to attend the signing.
- Officials point to Carnival’s scale and economics, including IFec RJ estimates of R$3.4 billion in direct 2025 spending and R$8.8 billion in total impact.
- The decision extends transfers made over the past two years, with cultural spending drawing scrutiny from prior legislative questioning of Minister Margareth Menezes and attention to FSA/Ancine film financing.
