Protests are planned in up to 50 cities throughout the day, as demonstrators hope to rekindle momentum that led to millions of people hitting the streets last year during the Confederations Cup, a two-week World Cup warmup.
Last year's demonstrations prompted President Dilma Rousseff, who faces a bid for re-election in October, to address the nation and acknowledge deficiencies in public services and investment in everything from education and health care to transportation and security.
In a speech on Thursday, Rousseff attacked critics of her government's Cup preparations and called on the nation to welcome Cup visitors with "the hospitality that is part of the Brazilian soul". After a near-decade of steady growth before she took office, Brazil now struggles with a sluggish economy, persistent inflation, increasing crime and lacklustre investment.
据路透社5月15日报道,当地时间15日,巴西多个城市爆发示威游行活动,市民抗议政府举办世界杯的巨额开支,呼吁提供更好的公共服务。
在巴西最大城市圣保罗,一条主干道被焚烧的轮胎堵塞。在首都巴西利亚,抗议者冲入一栋大楼。里约热内卢学校教师加入游行队伍前往市政厅抗议,导致多条主干道交通堵塞。抗议人群较分散且未发生大事故,警察通过催泪弹及分散搜索将他们驱赶。
东北部城市、世界杯举办地点之一累西腓,警察集体罢工三天,掠夺者趁火打劫,洗劫超市、商店、车辆等。军队与国家宪兵队被迫介入以保持秩序,15日晚,警方经投票决定结束罢工。
