About the protests taking place in Brazil

[KeplerBR]

Thousands of protesters occupy the National Congress in Brasilia, capital of Brazil, in symbolic manifestation

 

 

I am Brazilian and I wonder if the foreigners are aware of the protests that are taking place in Brazil, at the height it should be festive, due to events that Brazil will receive =)

 

What do you think of all this? What do you think will happen?

I am aware of it, the goverment lowered the bus price again. If you ask me this whole protest should be over pretty soon. Yesterday was really harsh though.

 

Honestly, I don't think it is all about the world cup and the money that is spend on it instead of schools. It started when they made buses 20 cents expensiver. I guess that was the reason.

As the mayor and governor of São Paulo (where began the trigger for the protests) were hard and said, repeatedly, that does not abrogate the increase of 0.20 cents, manifestaçõs the increased amount of people, claims and violence in São Paulo, and this throughout Brazil, as it was a feeling by changes in common.

The price of the bus is reduced in several cities, public transport taxes were removed, but the protests continue, and will certainly continue for long. Still has a lot that needs to improve.

I went to a manifestation today, that was going to the football stadium Castelão, where happened the game Italy vs Spain.

My mom only let me go if I was with my father, so I went with him. I met people who were arranged with the UECE (State University of Ceará). Had thousands of people there, waiting for the time to leave.

When it started, the walk was very good. The personnel excited, shouting "Come to the street", "You in uniform are also explored", "From aquarium and the Copa I open hand but not from health and education", among others. Also sing excerpts of music Pra Não Dizer Que Não Falei Das Flores and the National Anthem. Had a 3 helicopters informing the cops on the ground the way we were doing, when it approached the had whopped sometimes. Was the fastest 3km that I ever walked. I realized that was not much.

So we arrive at the siege of the police. Had very police closing nearby 3 streets that gave access to the Castelão, mainly in what we were. Had even cavalry.

It was then that began the moment of tension. A far side screamed "graffiti, graffiti!" and another group "without vandalism". When the tension really began, as I did not want my father was involved in confusion, I decided to return early with him.

Now who was talking, I learned that the vandals who started the mess, throwing stones large (the sidewalk was broken and it was easy to find large stones). A three policemen were injured. Also threw molotov cocktail. As the police had tear gas new, the effect was much stronger, and my friend almost fainted and children screamed for help. Police closed several streets had no where to run.
