Prefeitura contesta regra do MP que condiciona megashows na Paulista a custo zero para os cofres públicos

The São Paulo City Hall has filed an appeal against a decision by the Public Prosecutor's Council that imposes strict conditions on holding large-scale free concerts on Avenida Paulista. The core of the dispute is the requirement for events to have zero cost to public funds, meaning all expenses must be covered by private sponsors. The city argues that essential public services, such as traffic management, public transport rerouting, and security, are institutional responsibilities that cannot be entirely outsourced to sponsors. They contend that prohibiting any municipal contribution is unreasonable and contradicts existing cultural incentive laws and the constitutional duty to ensure public access to culture and leisure.

This dispute matters because it impacts the city's ability to host major cultural events and the definition of public versus private responsibility in providing cultural access to citizens.
