The last school to enter the avenue lifted the spirits of the audience present who did not go home, and the crowd shouted non-stop even before entering the avenue: “It’s the champion!”
The issues of unemployment, corruption, theft, poor investment in education, abandonment of children, and health were highlighted in the samba theme “The monster is the one who does not know how to love the abandoned children of the homeland that bore them,” enchanting everyone present.
Ambition was the name of the allegory that featured a giant rat, and right behind it was an allegorical structure representing the headquarters of Petrobrás, mixed with the daily life of the favelas and the greed of construction companies.
Participants in the third float represented scenes of robberies, armed students, police officers and their families, and with a heavy air, dead children in coffins.
There was a moment to refer to the term “intolerance,” with the presence of Pablo Vittar and Jojo Toddynho as highlights of the float.
The choreography was something that pleased everyone, and at the end of the parade, Beija-Flor took with it a crowd of spectators who paraded behind the last members of the school.
