Although many cultural events are happening in Mar\u00e9, not all have continued. The pacification force<\/a>\u00a0added new rules for larger events and organizers must sign a responsibility waiver.<\/p>\n

The cultural routine hasn’t\u00a0returned to normal anywhere in\u00a0Mar\u00e9<\/a>. A few funk<\/a> parties, one of the most popular weekend activities for visitors and residents of the area, are starting up again but in new locations, no longer in the middle of the street due to\u00a0new restrictions set by the pacification force.<\/p>\n

Some\u00a0routine events, such as forr\u00f3, rock and pagode shows, for example, have continued full steam after the military occupation<\/a>, meanwhile many have been \u00a0shut down with no specified return date, especially those held in the Vila do Pinheiro and Vila do Jo\u00e3o communities.<\/p>\n

According to Colonel Fructuoso of\u00a0the pacification force,\u00a0organizers must ask permission for every large-scale event they want to put on. Such events will likely be\u00a0denied authorization if they take place in the middle of the street as was previously the custom. This is the case with funk. Fructuoso said that permits need to be reissued on a weekly basis. Thus, the Nova Holanda<\/a>\u00a0baile funk<\/em> party, which used to take place on Rua Teixeiro Ribeiro, returned on Saturday April 26 in the Rubenz Vaz field close to H\u00e9lio Smidt school. The Parque Uni\u00e3o baile funk<\/em> returned on Friday April 25, close to the Linha Vermelha highway and also in a field, but it was shut down in the following weeks and is no longer happening.<\/p>\n

The fact that the parties have been moved\u00a0to soccer\u00a0fields and out of the streets and from under people’s windows seems to have pleased the majority of the local population. \u201cI\u2019ve been going to these parties\u00a0for years. For me, the place is perfect because it doesn\u2019t disturb anyone\u2019s sleep, but it\u2019s far away for those who don\u2019t live here,\u201d contemplates a Nova Holanda resident, who prefers not to be identified. He defends the baile funk<\/em> parties’\u00a0continuation as he considers them a tradition. \u201cIf they stop, we will lose what we had in the community. My father often went to the dances too. It\u2019s a tradition,\u201d he affirms.<\/p>\n

However, funk is not loved unanimously in Mar\u00e9. Some residents were relieved thinking these events were over. “If nothing changed concerning the funk parties I was going to move away from here, but the police moved in and I can now rest at home in order to go to work the next morning. Before I had to sleep in Nova Igua\u00e7u<\/a>\u00a0in a relative\u2019s house,\u201d says a Parque Uni\u00e3o resident.<\/p>\n

A Nova Holanda resident recounts that, at first, she was\u00a0shocked when she saw the return of the funk party, even in a different location. \u201cYes, the funk parties are on again. The sound is a lot lower than before, although they sometimes turn the volume up during the event,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

According to our findings, not all of the event organizers know about the document with the new rules (listed below). The rules will certainly be challenged and Mar\u00e9 de Not\u00edcias <\/em>will\u00a0address the issue\u00a0in subsequent\u00a0editions. Many people are worried about the street events, such as the June parties, another local tradition.<\/p>\n

Pacification Force Requirements<\/h3>\n

Read the full document that imposes various rules for the holding of events in Mar\u00e9. The event organizer must comply with all items and sign a waiver of responsibility.<\/p>\n

Community Party Regulations<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u27a2 Parties will be authorized via contact made with the area’s troop commander 15 (fifteen) days prior to the event and through event organizers signing the responsibility contract. This document should be requested from the Neighborhood\u00a0Association or the Troop Commander for the area.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 This authorization is on condition\u00a0of the non-occurrence of harassment towards the Pacification Force and could be revoked if this condition is not adhered to.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 Request from the Neighborhood\u00a0Association and from the 22nd Military Police Battalion\u00a0a document showing these institutions’ awareness of the event \u2013 \u201cnothing to oppose\u201d \u2013 and from the fire brigade if the event is held indoors.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 Those responsible for the event must be accountable and make sure there will be no drugs consumed or sold, no weapons on display, no shots, fights or disturbance before, during or after the event under penalty of having no more parties of any type in the entire community, all of which will be shut down immediately.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 The responsible party for the event must broadcast at least one advert through the sound system prohibiting the sale of drugs, use of weapons and disturbances during the event.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 The music played cannot\u00a0allude to sex, drugs or weapons and the noise level should not disturb residents’\u00a0peace and quiet.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 Those responsible for the event\u00a0must inform the community within close proximity to the event of the day and time\u00a0of the party.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 Those responsible must ensure the venue is left in the same condition as it was found, particularly avoiding trash\u00a0in the streets.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 It is recommended those underage\u00a0be accompanied by an adult after 10pm.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 The Pacification Force will not do internal security for the event, which must be organized by the event organizer. There will only be an intensified patrol outside the event.<\/p>\n

After gathering all required documentation or in case of doubt, the organizer should call 2519-5685. Any irregularity, disturbance of order, property damage, violence or other offence should be informed to the Pacification Line: 3105-9717.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
