The Carnival competition among blocks in Rio Branco has recently sparked controversy following the announcement of the champion, the bloc Seis É D+. The Unidos do Fuxico bloc has formally filed an appeal contesting the results, citing claims that the winners retained props after their presentation, violating the competition rules stated in the event's guidelines. Unidos do Fuxico initially announced itself as the champions on social media, which was later refuted by the local government.

In their appeals process, Unidos do Fuxico maintains that they received communication suggesting the title had been altered and that they were declared the winners after the event. Questions have arisen around the integrity of the competition, with three main blocs participating: Unidos do Fuxico, Seis É D+, and Sambase, all of which showcased their talent on the main stage of the event. The situation remains contentious as the local authorities review the allegations brought forth by Unidos do Fuxico.

This incident reflects not only on the competitive nature of cultural events during the Carnival but also highlights the importance of transparency and fair play in such festivities. The outcome of this appeal could have implications for future Carnival competitions and the reputation of the event organizers. As discussions continue, both the public and participants are keenly observing how the situation unfolds, emphasizing the significance of rules and fairness in community celebrations.
