Juca Kfouri praises the suspension of the Pacaembu privatization by the Court of Accounts of the Municipality.
According to the journalist, the project "makes Pacaembu unsuitable as a football stadium." "It drastically reduces the stadium's capacity. It doesn't offer the guarantees that the population needs for a stadium that belongs to them. You can't just do this hand-to-mouth as an electoral ploy," he said.
SP 247 - Journalist Juca Kfouri praised the decision of the São Paulo Municipal Court of Auditors (TCM-SP), which decided to suspend the privatization of Pacaembu.
According to the journalist, the project "makes Pacaembu unsuitable as a football stadium." "It drastically reduces the stadium's capacity. It doesn't offer the guarantees that the population needs for a stadium that belongs to them. You can't just do this hand-to-mouth as an electoral ploy," he said.
The decision by the Municipal Court of Accounts (TCM) upheld a lawsuit filed by councilman Antonio Donato (PT). In justifying the intention to privatize, the São Paulo city government claims that the stadium is causing losses to public funds. In 2017, the stadium's revenue was R$ 2,4 million. Maintenance costs totaled R$ 8,3 million.
