“The culture and tourism sectors were the most affected by the pandemic, with the closure of spaces and impediments to carrying out activities. From such a scenario, it was not possible to execute projects, causing the increase in debts of professionals and companies in the cultural sector”said the minister at the launch of the program.

“We will have differentiated and individualized conditions considering the economic situation and the possibility of payment of each one to make a proposal with installments, with a discount. We want these people to be able to access federal resources again.”said Jorge Messias at the event.
