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.
