Anti-FIFA Protests in Brazil Much Bigger Than Expected, Clashes – Live Blog [View all]

Protests take place in more spots at the same time in Sao Paulo, for now. Cup starts in less than 2 hours. Barricades have been erected where protestors were attacked by special forces of the military police. Repression forces hoped people will keep away from the streets after a year long relentless repression which culminated with activists, anarchists, antifascits and Black Block being arrested en mass. The opposite happened; thousands and thousands are spoiling FIFA’s most expensive show, which is paid by working people in Brazil anyway. 21 protests will take place today in Brazil, there is growing international solidarity with the people of Brazil against FIFA and their robocop- 200,000 strong repression army.
