The Price of the World Cup 2014
Brazil is the home ground of football, the place
where football isn't just a game but a lifestyle. In June, Brazil
will be invaded by hundreds of thousands football enthusiasts when
the World Cup, the
biggest sporting event in the world, will be held in twelve
cities throughout the country. The final will be in Rio de Janeiro.
According to the NGOs, around 200,000 people are
expected to be forcibly removed because of World Cup related
constructions. Amnesty International clearly identified huge problems
in terms of the way people were evicted, not consulted and not
properly compensated. The priority was not there... the logic behind
all this was the logic of profit and money.
