“The Brazilian president, Dilma Rousseff, who faces re-election in October, has declared security to be a priority, suggesting unnamed forces are conspiring against her. ;Today, there is a systematic campaign against the World Cup – or rather, it is not against the World Cup but rather a systematic campaign against us,’ the president said during a speech in the host city of Porto Alegre at the weekend.”
You’re damned right it’s against you, and everything that police-state government and corporate-state spectacles like the World Cup represent.
Down with FIFA. Down with the Brazilian government. Up with the strikers.
