The Bahian singer Netinho deleted on social networks the publications supporting former president Jair Bolsonaro and the coup acts in Brasília after the Iate Clube Aracaju, from Sergipe, canceled its participation in the entity’s carnival block, “Por Amor ao Iate”, on January 28th.
“Today, January 15, 2023, 13 days before the show for which I was hired and publicly announced by the Iate Clube de Aracaju, I was surprised by a public note from the Iate with my withdrawal from the command of ‘Bloco Por Amor Ao Iate’, who was at the forefront since 2019,” wrote the singer on social media.
The club’s decision was taken after pressure from members, who questioned the singer’s support for the protests led by extremists in Brasília. Netinho encouraged the demonstrations on January 8 in Brasilia, which resulted in the invasion and depredation of the National Congress, the Planalto Palace and the Federal Superior Court. He also attended the extremist camp set up in front of the Barracks of Mouraria, in Salvador.
“The Board of Directors of the Yacht Club of Aracaju (ICAJU) out of respect for Sergipe society and the club’s members, makes it public to clarify that it does not condone or support anti-democratic acts and will never allow any action of this nature within our institution”, says note released by the club on Instagram.
“We reiterate here our commitment to carry out the traditional ‘Por Amor ao Iate’ block, with the intention of promoting the generation of jobs and income, development of tourism and carnival culture, bringing moments of joy and relaxation to all who will attend the event ! We appreciate everyone’s understanding, and we make ourselves available.”
In place of Netinho, the Iate Clube de Aracaju announced on Instagram the show of singer Tatau, former lead singer of the band Araketu. Several netizens supported the decision, but some asked how they could get a ticket refund. “Congratulations for the attitude! You can be sure that it will be a sales success. Those who support the coup do not deserve space anywhere but in jail”, commented Matheus Araújo.
Internet user Ivana Ribeiro complained about the change of artist. “The only information I want is to know how I can redeem the value of my tickets that I bought to watch Netinho, which is the best, I’m not interested in anything else.”
