People in Brazil were paying the price (Cup) for me, because Im a gringo and the government was organizing the event to showcase the beauty of the country for people like me. The cleanliness of the cities is because of me. Earth - When was the exact moment you decided to leave Brazil? Mikkel Jensen - I was in contact with people who help street children. These people told me that many of these children are being killed because of the World Cup. Maybe their lives are at risk because of a person like me. The World Cup is an event to celebrate, not to take lives of innocent children. Earth - Did you check this information? Mikkel Jensen - I can not be sure that these same children are dying because of the World Cup, but I feel my heart sick to think that is because of it. Earth - The more motivated you leave the country? Mikkel Jensen - I love Brazil is a wonderful country, but Im sad to see what is happening. (With the organization of the World Cup) there was the possibility of improvement. However, it is better for those who have more and worse for poor people. We need to use the Brazil economic growth for the entire population. Earth - Youre being criticized by some people for leaving Brazil instead of staying in the country and tell them what is happening. ikkel Jensen - I think maybe Ill bring more problems for these children doing critical journalism in Brazil. Browse these children might be more dangerous for them. Earth - It was difficult to make this decision? Mikkel Jensen - was. I have many friends in Brazil. I love Brazil. I know many cities there. But I think it is dangerous to go back now. Some people think I should not be there. Earth - Are you afraid to go back to Brazil now? Mikkel Jensen - I have. Earth - But you want to go back some day? Mikkel Jensen - I really want to go back, but Ill wait a bit.
