The future of Americanas
Americanas is trying to get out of the spiral of problems after the revelation of a R$20 billion hole. The company went to court to prevent banks from bringing forward the execution of debts. The judge of the 4th Business Court of Rio, Paulo Assed, granted an urgent precautionary measure, which, in practice, suspends any possibility of blocking or kidnapping of assets. This protection is valid for 30 days. At the end of the period, the company can file a request for judicial recovery or the decision loses its effectiveness. (The Globe)
It's already carnival!
Little by little, São Paulo returns to the carnival atmosphere. This and the next few weeks, street blocks are holding open rehearsals and parties as a “warm-up” for what is to come in February, with options mainly concentrated on weekends.
Events are generally held indoors and with an entry fee. For the blocks, the agendas are opportunities both to prepare technically and financially for the parades and a way to reconnect with the public after two years without an official street carnival. Since 2020, this is the first pre-carnival without the restrictions of the pandemic and with a more controlled number of hospitalizations due to Covid-19. (Estadão)
