MAYOR OF RIO PREDICTS GROWTH OF FGTS WITH NEW FLAMENGO STADIUM IN GASÔMETRO

Essential for child development, breast milk is considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the “golden food”, giving rise to Golden August, a month to encourage breastfeeding. Thus, to reinforce support for the campaign, Flamengo's Social Responsibility department took, last Tuesday (27), water polo athlete Duda Martins, who is 26 weeks pregnant, and the club's mascots to meet the Maria Amélia Buarque de Holanda Municipal Maternity, a reference in humanized care for pregnant women, in the center of Rio.

As part of the activity program, the athlete received guidance on the breastfeeding process and the importance of breast milk in child development and in building bonds together with other pregnant and postpartum women cared for by the maternity ward.

“Flamengo's presence here today is extremely important because all actions aimed at Agosto Dourado aim to support, promote and increasingly encourage breastfeeding. Encouraging breastfeeding on demand, increasing breastfeeding time allows society to understand the real benefit that human milk has for both babies and mothers”, said Carla Navarrete, coordinator of the Nutrition and Dietetics Service at the Maternity Hospital and president of the Unit's Breastfeeding Committee.

“Visiting the Maria Amélia maternity ward was an incredible experience, I could see that the maternity ward is really very intense. I answered questions, learned and prepared myself a little more, and had contact with other pregnant women. Each of us had different doubts and fears, which were fully welcomed by the team that welcomed us. It was a pleasure to be part of Flamengo's social responsibility action”, said athlete Duda Martins.

Production assistant Josiane Portugal, who is also pregnant and undergoes prenatal care at the maternity ward, added. “Today I learned that only breast milk is enough and no other milk is needed for the child to grow up healthy. I loved Flamengo's presence here today. I'm a Flamengo fan, my family is Flamengo fan and I was very happy to know that Flamengo supports breastfeeding”, she praised.

As part of the proposal to humanize motherhood, the athlete received a beautiful pregnancy painting, which allowed you to understand how your baby is positioned inside your belly.

Flamengo is in a presidential election year and, as a result, campaigns have begun to be publicized. Thus, one more person applied for the election: Delair Dumbrosck, who is part of the group "Nação Sem Fronteiras".

In publicizing the campaign, Delair Dumbrosck spoke about his projects and what he thinks about the growth of sports Olympics. Furthermore, the pre-candidate also showed a sustainable solution for building his own stadium. Finally, the candidate spoke about the alternatives to internationalize the club's brand on the world stage.

Delair is an entrepreneur in the market segment real estate. Within Rubro-Negro, the pre-candidate was already president of the club in 2009, when Márcio Braga left the position. Thus, at the head of the management that had Marcos Braz as manager and Adriano Imperador on the team, the candidate for the election won the Brasileirão that year.

In addition to Delair Dumbrosck, Rodrigo Dunshee, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, Maurício Gomes de Mattos, Pedro Paulo, Wallim Vasconcelos and José Carlos Peruano are also competing for the presidency of Flamengo.

The elections will be held on the day December 9, in Gávea. The time for members to vote will be from 8am to 9pm. Thus, during the day, members will choose the candidate who best fits the club's profile to lead the three-year period.

Tension between the mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes, and the state governor, Cláudio Castro, increased this weekend. In yet another exchange of public barbs, Castro stated that Paes has "exceeded the good coexistence" with "personal attacks". The governor's comment came after criticism from Paes during an event in the city's West Zone, on Saturday (7), where the mayor accused Castro of being "lax" in managing public security.

During the event at Praça Seca, Eduardo Paes did not mince words when talking about the current security situation in the state. Accompanied by vice-governor Thiago Pampolha, who broke with Castro, Paes highlighted that the governor's authority has been lost, which, according to him, facilitates the actions of criminals.

"I have never seen what is happening happen happening now. They have lost their authority, their morale, and when criminals and criminals realize that the ruler is weak, that he has no authority, like the governor, they use and abuse it", stated the mayor in his speech.

On Sunday (8), Cláudio Castro used his social networks to respond to Paes' statements. The governor defended his administration and suggested that the mayor of Rio de Janeiro is becoming nervous when asked about public security issues. Furthermore, Castro criticized problems in the city that are the responsibility of the city hall, such as garbage collection, the situation of socially vulnerable people and the economy.

"You don't need to be nervous when asked about security public, Eduardo. Take care of being responsible for your management in the city", wrote Castro.

Cláudio Castro also took the opportunity to accuse Eduardo Paes of having denied his administration the use of public spaces for the implementation of security projects in Rio. The governor mentioned that the mayor refused to give up land for the construction of police stations and installation of security booths in strategic areas of the city.

"Do you remember when you refused to give me public spaces to create a security program in the city's tourist belt? Or when you denied areas to build police stations and install security booths? I won't forget", said Castro. According to the governor, even in the face of these denials, he chose not to turn the issue into a political clash.
