After we wait one year to be authorized to carry the 28th Lavadeira Festival, in the neighborhood of São José, received the authorization with the following recommendations: can not occupy the courtyard of São Pedro, can not occupy the Independence Square and the Yard of the Carmo Church will have a structure with 40mx15m stands... Settle down!
And without private sponsorship, because until then we had no permit from city hall or the format of the feast set to offer sponsors.
Our concern was also with the tours that come from other states and from distant cities, it would have to be canceled, bringing inconvenience to anyone who loves, believes and invests in our Lavadeira Festival. So we announced on April 02 the cancellation of the Festival.
Of course, the initiative of the cancellation had the motivation of permanent disinterest of current city hall management's with our popular culture, particularly with the Lavadeira Festival. However, intuition protected us from greater evil...
The history has already indicated this "boycott".
Last year, in 2013, missing forty days to the Lavadeira Festival, we were told that we could not occupy the Bairro do Recife and that the party would be in the ExCordeiro Exposure Park (place of exposure of animals). We resisted and managed to hold the party in the neighborhood of São José, with great effort and success.
After carrying out the Party, the State Government of Pernambuco canceled the sponsorship of R$ 150,000.00. Moreover, two days before the Lavadeira Festival the City Hall reduced the value of sponsorship of R $ 120,000.00 to R$ 80,000.00.
This year we expect a resolution before the Festival, because we could not risk that the State again disrespect or reduce the value of pre agreement on the eve of the event... And then, nothing happened, the State Government waited, the City Hall of Recife waited for, and they combined our end.
They will surely call us intransigent, at least, after all have to accuse us of something. Let's see the creativity and the courage they have to fail with the truth publically... c'mon!

So, let's walk?
