"the recent protests were led by... the traditional middle class. On the streets, well-educated people, from central, urban areas, shouted that they had been sold a lie. Inflation is once again a major concern, violent crime is on the rise, cases of corruption fill the press, healthcare is in a precarious state, infrastructure projects have not materialized & street traffic is depressingly worse than ever. While TV showed the inaugurations of costly, lavish football stadiums, people felt their lives were getting worse by the day. After all, the World Cup will cost the nation some $15 billion, & the promised legacy in infrastructure is still nowhere to be seen. Worst of all: A government accustomed to surf on its safe popularity, secured mainly by the distribution of money to the poorest, did not feel the need to listen..." Thank you Paulo Coehlo....
