Governo Lula assina decreto com alterações na Lei Rouanet

The Ministry of Culture presented a decree such as dances in the Rouanet law and regulations in the laws of regions of the country that do not always benefit from current public policies. One of the main novelties of the decree is the resumption of the national commission to promote culture. , the agency recovered its responsibilities, such as establishing priorities, setting a ceiling within the program rules and evaluating the law itself, another change is the expansion of investments in the northeast, north and central-west regions of Brazil to decentralize the resources applied in the southeastern region of the country, the decree establishes that cultural promotion laws, such as those now also regulated by Blanc and Paulo, Gustavo, must contribute to stimulating diversity, overcoming patriarchy and eradicating discrimination or prejudice, in addition to stimulate artistic and cultural activities promoted by indigenous peoples and traditional communities, points that were not provided for in the last decree signed in 2021, the projects may be executed for a period of up to four years from the multi-year plan and the call projects will be prepared in a democratic and accessible way in collaboration with cultural councils and other members of civil society the Rouanet law will no longer cover the sacred art movement criticized by experts, the Ministry of Culture will have a period of 30 days to edit the new rules and thus ensuring that these changes are applied.

Look at the cultural sector in Brazil, it really suffered a lot at the time of the pandemic and the last government was also not exactly the government that was sympathetic to culture being a sector. who suffered too much, doubly and the initiative to return the Rouanet Law and of course it is necessary that there be all kinds of supervision of society to avoid abuses to not give money to large productions by renowned artists, which is not this. The intention, true, is a tax exemption law for Productions, but it is not these Productions that can be sustained in the market, it is much more to help the cultural phenomenon that connects people.

So you have a huge country, a country of continental culture. dimensions that really need some kind of help in folklore in the local culture, you have a sense of Brazilianness that is largely built on the basis of these local manifestations that can in fact have some kind of government assistance without ideology without attack, for example, sacred art that is part of the culture of the entire west of Brazil but there is no problem, it is also stupid to think that you cannot have some kind of incentive for high culture and local culture, folklore, demonstrations, that gives a feeling of fragility and that is what makes the population feel Brazilian in the first place now we really need to rescue some type of promotion and help to the culture that is important that we do not have ideology that we do not have radicalism that we have to We have not had on one side, we have had before on the other side and that this radicalism does not come back to us.

We do not even want Roberto Alvim to make that dark video that he made, no, we do not want money for the artist, friends who campaigned, we want help for those who It needs it, at the top, in regional demonstrations or in high culture, in symphony orchestras, where you also have the elevation of the country's cultural standard, which is good for everyone, without ideologies. , just the technical foresight of making Brazil a country with more education and more culture, that is, a better country for you Elaine, welcome, this resumption of the Rouanet Law, I think it is important to point out to the people who are watching us because There was a lot of talk, right?

And it was widely publicized on the Internet that a certain world actress had earned 5 million from Rouanet law. So, let's explain to those who watch and listen to us that the government with the Rouanet law does not provide resources. It does not give money to any artist or any artistic production. In fact what happens is that the Rouanet law is an incentive for companies to invest in art. So instead of these companies paying a percentage of the taxes, they can convert that tax payment into cultural projects, right, then it is a transfer of resources, but the government does not directly deposit anything into anyone's account, he comments a little thirstily, 5 millions to anyone, gives the right to that person. , true, from this artist, this work is a cultural search for sponsors in the market for companies that want to sponsor their project up to the limit at that time of 5 thousand reais, as mentioned above.

Another point to explain is the change that What the Ministry of Culture and President Lula signed today is also to return with the creation of a committee of specialized people who will be responsible for monitoring these resources and also for looking at the project, that is, everything The cultural project will go through this committee. that will analyze the possibility of releasing a level of exchange and substitution of the tax for money in the market between companies, then there will be a committee from the Ministry itself doing this analysis and saying Look, you can go to the market to get five million, you can go to the market to get a million for your project and so on.

So there is a commission and again the government does not deposit money in anyone's account with the Rouanet law, it only offers the artist the possibility of seeking recourse with the companies.
