Márcia Helena Pereira Cabral Achilles

Márcia Helena Pereira Cabral Achilles is the mayor of Guaimbê, a small municipality in São Paulo, Brazil. She gained recent attention for defending the use of a federal parliamentary amendment of R$ 280,000, attributed to Valdemar Costa Neto, to fund a musical performance by the sertaneja duo Thaeme & Thiago during the 21st Festa do Peão de Boiadeiro. Despite the controversy surrounding the funding source, Achilles emphasized the importance of federal support for cultural activities in her town, which faces challenges in promoting such events.
