"The Public Prosecutor's Office recognizes the cultural and economic importance of Agropec for the city and does not intend to definitively prevent the event from taking place. What is sought is to ensure a minimum order of priorities: before financing a major festival, the public authorities must pay the salaries of employees, honor their suppliers and guarantee the continuity of essential services", stated the prosecutor. In the action, the MP also highlighted that the municipal administration itself reported facing financial difficulties due to withholdings in transfers from the Municipal Participation Fund (FPM), which would have affected the payroll, the maintenance of public services and contracts with suppliers. Requests to the Court Among the requests presented, MPAM requests that Careiro City Hall be prevented from hiring or making payments relating to: artists; event structures; support services; advertising; transport; hosting; other expenses related to Agropec 2026. The agency requests that authorization for these expenses be conditioned on proof of payment of salaries and other food allowances for employees, in addition to the regularization or renegotiation of debts with suppliers. The Prosecutor's Office also requires the municipality to present the complete list of administrative processes, contracts, commitments and payments linked to the event, with documents published on the Transparency Portal and, when necessary, on the National Public Contracting Portal (PNCP). In case of non-compliance with a possible court decision, the MP requests a daily fine of R$50,000. Until the publication of the action, there was no information about the Court's decision or any statement from Careiro City Hall regarding the request.
