The penalty imposed on the bloco 6 É D+ follows an appeal by Unidos do Fuxico concerning a violation of contest rules in a Rio Branco carnival competition.
The carnival competition held in Rio Branco, Brazil, has faced a controversy following the announcement of the winner, bloco 6 É D+. The bloco Unidos do Fuxico filed an administrative appeal contesting the results due to what they claimed was a violation of rules related to the duration a float could remain on the track. According to the organizing committee, this competition had strict guidelines that penalize contenders for exceeding time limits, and it was found that 6 É D+ had violated these rules.
The city's administration confirmed that the violation resulted in penalties, leading to a suspension of the competition’s final results pending further review. Unidos do Fuxico is allowed to file another appeal until next Wednesday (October 24), adding more uncertainty to the outcome. The situation highlights the importance of compliance with carnival regulations, which are in place to ensure a fair and organized event.
The incident has sparked discussions within the Rio Branco community about the management of the carnival competition and the enforcement of its rules. As the deadline approaches for potential further appeals, the tension among competing bloques may intensify, indicating that this issue could have ramifications for future carnivals and the relationship between organizers and participants.
