Thousands March on World Cup Stadium in São Paulo 
---------------------------------------------------


 
Thousands of protesters have marched in the Brazilian city of São Paulo
in protest of public spending on the upcoming World Cup. The Homeless
Workers' Movement led Wednesday's march to São Paulo's main stadium
ahead of the World Cup's opening a week from today.

Jusue Rocha, Protest Organizer: "Today we want to get the attention of
public power, marching to the stadium saying that we want to negotiate
and open a channel of dialogue with public power to negotiate our
demands. If they do not attend to our needs we already know the way to
the stadium — and on the twelfth, we will be there again."
