Inês Aires Pereira left the Commedia a La Carte Fest festival, justifying her decision with the position of American comedian Jerry Seinfeld. The artist stated that she cannot relativize or normalize a genocide, thus expressing her disagreement with participating in an event that includes Seinfeld's performance.

This is not the first withdrawal from the festival, as other artists had already announced their resignation. The reasons are related to the decision to include Jerry Seinfeld in the event lineup.

Some artists have expressed opposition to Jerry Seinfeld's participation, pointing out that the comedian has defended the Israeli government's action. This position has generated controversy and led to several participant withdrawals from the festival.
