VOICED : Comienza carnaval de Rio con bendicion de alcalde evangelico

The Rio de Janeiro Carnival officially began on Friday, marked by a controversial edition with the support of the evangelical mayor, who has been accused of trying to suppress the festival due to his religious beliefs. Despite these claims, the mayor expressed his admiration and support for the carnival. This year, he participated in the symbolic handover of the city's key to the carnival king, Momo. The carnival features performances by special group schools and increased safety measures, including alcohol tests for drivers. The government will distribute over 100 million condoms, and Brazilian women have launched a 'no means no' campaign against harassment, inspired by the Me Too movement.
