BRAZIL-CONFED-PROTEST

Protesters camping, since last night, in front of the residence of Rio de Janeiro’s governor Sergio Cabral, hold a demonstration in Leblon, Rio de Janeiro, on June 22, 2013. Brazil girded for more street protests Saturday despite President Dilma Rousseff’s conciliatory remarks pledging to improve public services and fight corruption, while warning against further violence. Her speech came a day after more than one million people marched in cities across the country to slam the huge cost of hosting next June’s World Cup, put at some 15 billion dollars, while public services such as schools and hospitals are lacking.
