The escalating costs and ongoing protests surrounding the construction of stadiums for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil have raised concerns about potential disruptions to the tournament scheduled for June. With an estimated cost of $3.7 billion for stadium construction, significantly higher than the initial budget presented to FIFA in 2007, there is growing anger among the public.
In response to the situation, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has called for an emergency ministerial meeting to address the concerns raised by the increased costs and protests. The Anonymous Rio group, known for its involvement in demonstrations, organized protests over the weekend, indicating a significant level of discontent among the population.
While no one wants to imagine the possibility of disruptions to the World Cup, the situation remains uncertain. Further demonstrations are planned in major cities across Brazil, reflecting the ongoing tensions surrounding the tournament. The Brazil World Cup is scheduled to take place from June 12 to July 13, but the outcome remains uncertain amidst the current challenges.
