According to Mayor Rosa Baitinga, the municipality of Teolândia obtained authorization from the Court of Justice of the State of Bahia (TJ-BA) to hold the “16th Banana Festival”. The information was published on the mayor’s social media this Saturday (4).
The event, which should take place between the 4th and 13th of June, had been canceled after the Public Ministry of Bahia questioned the planned expenses, calculated at about R$ 2 million.
Among the concerts contracted, there was the one by singer Gusttavo Lima, who would receive R$ 704 thousand for the presentation.
Through a note, Baitinga stated: “The Municipality of Teolândia respects the judicial decision and will comply with all the determinations of the Judiciary, so the Mayor and her team will continue to serve the population to carry out the traditional and cultural event, which attracts tourists, generates wealth, jobs and income for citizens”.
Teolândia is one of the cities that experienced an emergency situation due to the heavy rains that hit Bahia at the end of last year.
THE CNN requested the full decision to the TJ-BA, but has not yet received a response.
