The traditional Bloco dos Raparigueiros should have its exit reassessed by the directors and the government of the Federal District in the next carnival. In a report made on the morning of this Wednesday (22), the interim governor of the Federal District, Celina Leão, highlighted that of the 17 records of stabbings, during the four days of revelry, 10 occurred during the passage of the block on Sunday night ( 19). “We need to analyze whether it is worth letting the block leave in the coming years. We will have a meeting with the representatives to maintain the dialogue. In this format, as it happened, the trend is that this block will no longer be released”, evaluated the governor. She said that, at the request of the board, she will receive representatives of the block, this afternoon (22), to talk about the occurrences. The block was the one that had the most fines registered by the Military Police of the Federal District, with the seizure of 47 bladed weapons, which represents 85% of the 55 confiscated throughout the events. Despite the violence with cold weapons, there were no deaths. Two people remain hospitalized in a city hospital without seriousness. Note In a note released this Tuesday (21), the Bloco dos Raparigueiros offered solidarity to the victims of stabbings and their families and reiterated its gratitude for the work of the security forces of the Federal District. According to the document, the carnival blocks that are characterized by “large agglomerations and can become vectors of such a social problem and the city’s culture and economy end up being victims of this process, as society also participates in the street carnival block”. The board added that Raparigueiros received audiences from all social classes and levels and that more than 120,000 people participated in the parade during the carnival period. “Among these we had, unfortunately, some individuals who were not moved by the spirit of the festivity, but were taken by criminal intentions, who infiltrated and took advantage of the agglomeration to perpetrate crimes against our revelers, especially those against property. , excessive alcohol consumption can often be the cause of disagreements among revelers.” “The Raparigueiros repudiates any and all types of violence, believes that any crime should be punished with the rigor of the law, but also sees that it is essential that the government prepares more and better for the carnival in Brasília, which has grown and gained national relevance. The carnival, the bloquinhos and cultural agents cannot be punished for the problem of urban violence. The revelry is a symbol of joy, party and peace, always. And thousands of revelers cannot be victims, much less guilty by a minority that takes to the streets to commit crimes,” he said in a statement. Security According to the government of the Federal District, more than R$ 7 million were invested and 34 blocks were contemplated in the central region of Brasília and in the other administrative regions. With an audience of more than 1.5 million people on the streets, the governor celebrated the drop in violence and highlighted that there was a reduction in violence records of 49% compared to the 2019 carnival and 24% compared to the 2020 revelry . communities. The role of the State was entirely based on transparency. Everything was agreed and discussed. In my opinion, it was also the carnival of peace.”
