Interview at Paulista Ave.
About the number of participants, how many are you expecting this time?
We estimate that it will be about the same as last year some 3 million people.
But what we really care is not the number of people,
but the level of conscience they have.
You are responsible for the parade press office,right?
And you are the organizer...
He is the general organizer.
I see... Have you been the organizer since the first one?
I have been the responsible for the parade since 2008 – coordinating
How did you become the coordinator of the parade?
The parade happens worldwide,doesn’t it?
The strategy exists in the whole world.
I see, so there is a world organization…?
There are class organizations that congregate other series of entities,
but there is not one organization for all parades.
Each city organizes its own parade
And how did you become the responsible in Sao Paulo?
I participate in the organization that takes care of the event in Sao Paulo
since its foundation. And more recently I became part of its directory
Then I was appointed the parade director
Some time ago I came here to cover the parade,I heard some complaint like
The parade is becaming carnival – lost its porpuse… how do you see this affirmation?
The parade has always been a party
It is a party that brings about the idea of celebration
pride… we are proud of being who we are
love who we love and celebrate it in the parade
but it also has a political aspect
that is to take care of a discriminated segment of the population
people that doesn’t have the right to enjoy life with real liberty
So the parade sure is a political demonstration
thank you very much – it was excellent
Please, I don’t have your full name…
Manoel Zanini
