"] [Come against the raise!" "]" "[The MPL, Free Pass Movement,] [is a social movement, horizontal,] [autonomous, disconnected] [to political parties,] [that fights for a truly public] [transportation model.]" "[The movement started] [with the popular uprisings] that happened especially in Salvador and Florianópolis, against the raise of bus fares." "[The rebellions in Florianópolis,] [which were known as "Fare Wars",] [achieved victory] [for 2 years in a roll.]" "[The people on the streets] [revoked the fare from rising.]" "[And in 2005,] [at the World Social Forum,] [several cities that were impelling] [fights for public transportation] [got together and created] [a social movement] that could represent all these fights." "It was the Free Pass Movement." "The organizations such as the Free Pass Movement aren't primarily directed towards the State." "[They talk about the society,] [to the society itself.]" "That's groundbreaking." "The MPL declares itself to be anti-capitalism." "The movement is not really interested in the topic of urban mobility." "For them, urban mobility is an excuse to build a revolution, that's curious..." "I know them because many are students at our university." "[It seems to me they act] [very intelligently.]" "Instead of presenting general agendas in their political discussions, [like the end of capitalism] [or topics of this nature,] [they aim towards a specific symptom,] a symptom that shows the system's irrationality." "[This...] [...is the third great act...]" "TUESDAY, JUNE 11TH [that will stop the city.]" "[It's not only São Paulo] [that is fighting]" "[against the fare increase.]" "[I started covering] [the protests on Tuesday,] [the first day] [of protests this week.]" "And I saw very different groups of people." "There were some people connected to political parties and others who were there protesting because they identified with the cause." "[Why are you here protesting?" "]" "I can't find a reason not to be here, actually." "It's amazing that everyone is finally coming to the streets [and is protesting for their rights,] [which will only come when] [there is pressure from the people.]" "This is the State's responsibility, it is written on the bus itself." "There are ways to achieve, at least, the free tickets for the students, and then, afterwards, the total gratuity in transportation." "I'm surprised society thinks a protest in favor of a public cause is strange." "Everyone is paying for this increase, including the police." "I have a car and I'm here." "I think everybody should be here." "Because cars generate a lot of traffic, and car owners wouldn't use their cars if public transportation were good." "The first arrest done at the demonstration on Tuesday [happened right next to me.]" "[He was a cyclist, who crossed a lane] [the police was trying to clear] [for vehicles use exclusively.]" "[He was thrown on the grass] [by six officers.]" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "[Many protesters didn't want violence] [and never attacked the police.]" "But a few people at the front [led an attack against the officers.]" "[The police struck back] [and they engaged in conflict,] especially when the protesters arrived at the Terminal Parque Dom Pedro." "It's interesting to analyze the police repression on Tuesday." "[Because the act was very peaceful until] [we got to Terminal Parque Dom Pedro.]" "[And we have entered] [the Terminal Parque Dom Pedro] [in other occasions] [over the past years.]" "We agreed on a specific route with the movement's leadership." "[But they didn't] [follow the agreement,] because there isn't really a leadership unity," "there are many people presenting themselves as leaders of the movement." "The shock troops surrounded the Terminal Parque Dom Pedro and didn't let us inside." "[A very strong repression started] [and the people got very motivated] [by the fight and didn't want] [to simply go back home.]" "They talked about anarchic-punks, but those who were there knew it was actually the Black Block." "I frankly don't know how associated they were with the MPL." "But they were there." "The Black Block is a tactic;" "it's not a political group." "[This new tactic puts a question:] [What is more legitimate,] the violence against people, committed by the police, [or the destruction of public] [and private properties?" "]" "On that day, some had masks on and wore black, [and they knew about] [the history in Seattle, Genova.]" "[They knew the anarchic-punk strategy,] [especially the anarchist one,] [which was applied that day.]" "Our tactic force had to act, precisely, because they were attacking police officers at the Parque Dom Pedro." "We negotiated with the police when we were at Paulista avenue, trying to hold back the repressions like the ones that had already happened;" "a lot of people were hurt." "[Everything was going well.]" "[We got to Paulista avenue without] [any sort of complications] [among the protesters.]" "[But the police clearly set an ambush] [waiting for us at the MASP.]" "[We were supposed to close] [the act at MASP,] [but they started to shoot and throw] [bombs before we could get to MASP.]" "And then it happened, what everybody already saw." "[You'll have to throw bombs] [all night long!" "]" "I believe what is happening is a historically know phenomenon, but which has huge singularities." "There is a mismatch between the citizens and the institutions that represent them." "Everyone has the right to reunite in a public place without needing someone's authorization." "Isn't it your job to see that the law is followed?" "Yes." "Is the law being followed now?" "You are keeping the citizens from coming and going;" "you are throwing tear gas bombs on people." "Is this justice?" "What if it was your son marching here?" "Would you throw a bomb on him?" "I don't know." "All that I know is that you people have set buses on fire, broken vehicles, hurt officers, written on buses..." "Did I set fire on buses?" "I don't know." "I don't know." "Must I pay for somebody else's crimes?" "But that's what you're telling me." "You are justifying your actions." "Should I pay for the crime of someone else?" "I was hit with a bomb in the face, you coward!" "There was a sort of guide on the Internet, explaining how to cope with the tear gas, something like that." "And it became viral on the Internet that the best way to deal with tear gas was to use vinegar." "[Vinegar.]" "[Vinegar is the new Anthrax]" "[Vinegar]" "[Vinegar is the new Anthrax]" "He was holding a substance that he claims to be vinegar." "It will pass by the police inspection for confirmation." "[The vinegar became a joke.]" "Being arrested before even getting to the protests, because you are holding vinegar, doesn't seem to make sense." "Vinegar." "You can stand right there with your hands back!" "[What?" "] [Am I being arrested?" "]" "Stand right there with your hands back!" "[Vinegar is the new Anthrax]" "It's easier to make people cry a little with some tear gas then to be in a situation like that, which everybody saw, including Folha." "A police officer in the position of maybe killing someone, [because he was attacked] [by a bunch of people] [and he was carrying] [a 40 caliber pistol,] [which is not the proper weapon.]" "[He shouldn't even have] [been alone at that place.]" "[Stop!" "Stop!" "]" "Go on ahead!" "Lead the march ahead!" "Brazil only had two big movements, at the most, which were the "Diretas Já", Direct Elections Now, [and the impeachment of president Collor,] [both were big public manifestations.]" "But the country doesn't have a tradition of public manifestations." "If you take France, for example, there is a tradition that lasts." "If the French destroy subway stations in France they're doing it for the cause." "If people break subway stations at Paulista avenue, they are seen as lazybones, who don't want anything to do with work..." "Maybe if we were French, we would be fancier and be called activists." "This is interesting." "Let's look at the guidelines of protests around the world." "[Chile: 400 thousand people] [on the streets asking for free,] [quality public education.]" "[Israel, Tel-Aviv: they asked] [the State to regulate] [the costs on habitation.]" "[Spain, the Indignants:] [true democracy] [and the chance to oppose] [the economic system] [that was destroying the country.]" "[Tunisia and Egypt: besides the ideas] [of democracy and dignity,] [it was also about a well-fare State] [that doesn't exist in those countries.]" "[All of these movements asked for] [something very clearly:]" "more democracy." "THURSDAY, JUNE 13TH" "[Come out to the streets!" "] [Come against the raise!" "]" "[Hands over your head!" "] [R$ 3,20 is a robbery!" "]" "[On Thursday it was] [a completely different scenario.]" "When we left to do this coverage, we had already read some statements by the police, saying the demonstrators wouldn't be left so comfortable to protest like they wanted to." "Many people were arrested." "Look over there." "They got Luisa!" "Where?" "Over there." "Let me go!" "Go back!" "Go back!" "My friend is there!" "My work colleague is there." "All we are looking for is our rights!" "And these shitheads wearing uniforms keep hitting us!" "They aimed the fucking pepper spray in my eye!" "[They walked from the Municipal] [Theater to Consolação street,] where the conflict began." "Actually, it wasn't a conflict;" "it was more like a massacre coming from the police." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "What happened to you, Ma'am?" "How old are you?" "67." "What's your name?" "Maria Bernadete." "Tell me, Dona Maria, what happened?" "I was shot with a rubber bullet." "They are going to shoot in this direction." "I will file a police report." "The movement said they would stop at Roosevelt square, but that's not what happened." "Thursday was pure brutality." "Cowards!" "Murderers!" "Cowards!" "Stay here, because here is safe." "Safe?" "It's safe." "São Paulo is a safe city." "During the entire time, on Thursday, I saw the police hitting people, shooting, throwing bombs towards people who were shouting:" ""No violence!"" "I was surrendered, you son of a bitch!" "I was surrendered!" "I was surrendered!" "I was surrendered, you piece of shit!" "Giu, was shot in the eye, man!" "Who?" "Giu." "We were walking up Augusta street when we ran into the shock troops." "I just stood there," "I was wearing my identification from Folha around my neck," "I didn't have my cell phone because it ran out of battery, and I didn't say a word to any of them." "[Then a shock officer stepped] [ahead of the others,] who were holding shields, and pointed his gun at me." "[That had happened] [several times that day,] [so I didn't really think] [he'd shoot me.]" "But he shot." "[Did you see] [him aiming at you?" "]" "I saw it." "I saw him aiming at me, but I never thought he would shoot." "Because they had aimed at me before that evening, but no one had shot." "I was there doing my job." "And I am a woman..." "I could never have imagined that a uniformed policeman would shoot me in the face." "Our police force is well-built." "The police force was destabilized by the lack of communication [with this group.]" "We were surrounded." "At a certain moment, when we got to Consolação street," "I remember looking to one side and there was the shock troop, at the other side there was the cavalry troop, looking ahead there were bombs coming." "The order was disrupted, therefore the series of police interventions." "Fucking rich kid." "Shut up!" "Shut up!" "[From day one,] [we had many protesters arrested.]" "[Many protesters who were] [simply walking in the streets] were taken to the police station and charged with crimes they hadn't committed." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "What did he do?" "He assaulted the troops." "Excuse me." "In Brazil, the public system is totally under-prepared." "Schools, hospitals..." "The police couldn't be different." "Stop right there!" "Stop!" "Get back!" "Get back and wait!" "[You can see by their reaction] [they didn't receive proper training.]" "Their nervous reaction doesn't make sense." "You can see they're under prepared." "[Maybe they're "well-prepared"] [when no one is watching,] when they are in the suburbs and you can't see what they're doing." "What you saw here is the same thing that happens every day [with groups] [that aren't middle class.]" "It's the same thing, but this time the middle class was filming." "These fuckers are filming us." "[If you have records] [of this kind of behavior,] it surely doesn't reflect the attitude of most officers who were at the marches of the Free Pass Movement." "[The State Government,] [the shock troop,] the police, they all clearly attempted to checkmate the movement and tried to stop people from going to the streets at any cost." "This movement is organized by whom?" "By a tiny little group of vandals, whose actions are clearly criminal." "Are they linked to a political party?" "We must investigate to verify what's the origin." "Tomorrow there will be more!" "Tomorrow there will be a lot more!" "Tomorrow there will be more!" "Tomorrow there will be a lot more!" "On that week, the media played a role as important as the violence from the police, in terms of creating outrage." "The press reflected the huge indignation the public opinion developed towards minority movements." "We've gotten used to minority movements in the last ten years." "Any 50 people can stop Paulista avenue if they are labeled as "social movement"." "That's a way of making the city hostage of organized groups." "I think the editorials of Folha and Estado de São Paulo, on the next day, will become historical, considering the repercussions they caused." "They were demanding more repression, saying the State was being weak, affirming Paulista avenue should be taken back." "Well, the press demanded things to be done the right way, and the police translated it on their own terms." "The translation was "Now, it is our time to play"." "Then, when the police started to play, the public opinion became revolted, and this was also reflected by journalism." "I think journalism and the public opinion have walked side by side." "The media accepted the situation;" "because there was no way it could go on denying that the movement was taking huge proportions." "The media could no longer be against it." "But they supported the movement in a way that wouldn't hurt their interests." "That's exactly what Arnaldo Jabor did." "One day he said it was vandalism, it was abominable..." "They are the violent imitation, of a 50's socialism imitation, that the ancient left still stands for." "This middle class insurgents aren't even worth R$ 0,20." "And the other day he says" ""It's great that they're out on the streets"." "At first sight, this movement seemed like a pointless provocation, that many were mistaken to criticize, including me." "I don't think the press was mistaken in neither of the two opinions that were adopted." "At the first moment, the press wasn't asking for violence towards peaceful protesters." "And at the second moment, the media was right to denounce the absurd violence of the police." "Are you going to put Datena on the film?" "Wasn't our question clear?" ""Are you in favor of protests with riots?"." "That would be a better way to put the question." "2.839 people said they are in favor of this kind of protesting." "It's very interesting, because these anchormen are normally addicted to public opinion." "The viewer that calls us is seeing everything calm in the image;" "he may misinterpret the question." "Ask the question like a suggested." "They don't go against the public opinion." "If the audience wants to know about the police, they'll talk about the police." "When Datena started seeing there was another side to the history, he was smart enough to..." "I can tell the people are so angry about the ticket fare increase;" "it doesn't matter if it's the bus, the subway, the train." "People are so angry they will support any kind of protest." "If the media hadn't changed sides after June 13th and hadn't convoked the entire country to participate," "MPL wouldn't have achieved victory." "I noticed it by the people in my everyday life, colleagues from work, who up to that moment only talked about the vandalism." "I couldn't tell them I was participating in the marches." "I always managed a way to go, but I couldn't tell them." "After June 13th, I mentioned I had gone to a march and it was suddenly cool." "[What you see there is the vehicle] [of Record network on fire.]" "[You'd tell me is the destruction] [of the network's assets.]" "[But I see it differently;] [I think it's a great sign.]" "[Come out to the streets!" "] [Come against the raise!" "]" "[No violence!" "] [No violence!" "]" "[There is something very new,] [which already became very common.]" "It's the power new medias have on convoking people." "[That's very new] [and it's extremely important.]" "[In São Paulo, the turning point] [was in a moment] [when there was criminalization] [against the movement.]" "The movement peacefully took the streets, the journalists and protesters were severely hit by the police." "[And the society got to see that,] [it ran the social networks.]" "[It was the citizens who changed] [the way the history was being told.]" "[With their phones, their cameras,] [they documented independently] [and spread pieces] [that had quality and importance.]" "[The material they had shot] [was largely broadcasted.]" "At that moment everything was empowered in the country, including the importance of citizen journalism." "[The Media Ninja] [is not a secret organization;]" "[it's a proposition] [for a network of collaborative] [and independent journalism.]" "An event was created on Facebook..." "The entire country..." "It's happening in Rio, in São Paulo..." "The TV and the media are distorting everything." "[The social networks] [became crucial.]" "[More important] [than sharing your opinion,] is becoming the channel through which opinions are spread." "It has always existed, what differs are the ways to do it." "At the Bastille, how did the people reunite?" "Here in Rio, in less than 15 hours a huge march was organized for the funeral of Edson Luís, a student murdered by the police." "The huge march was done without the Internet, but there was the radio, the telephone... mouth to mouth and things like that." "At the end, those differences correspond to the means available at each time, but all these means have always worked" "and new means will go on working, I hope." "MONDAY, JUNE 17TH" "[Some say the protest on Monday] [had 100 thousand people,] but we heard the police talking about over 1 million people on the streets, in the entire city of São Paulo." "Oh, fuck, the people are out!" "[We made it very clear] [the manifestation really was] about the R$ 0,20." "It was about the fare increase." "It makes a huge difference in the budget of my outskirts!" "I'm here for him." "So that he can have quality transportation in his future." "What a coincidence, there is no violence when the police isn't here." "People are right." "They are acting like a family, fighting for rights that belong to them." "I agree with them." "Especially when there is no violence." "We got a call that the National Congress was being invaded." "I thought "Oh, fuck"." "I felt so much adrenaline that day, as if it was the Bastille." "That's why I went to Palácio dos Bandeirantes." "If they were going to force governor Alckmin out," "I wanted to be there to see it." "São Paulo represents the main economy in the country, that's why it drives a lot more attention." "MPL always knew that if one day we organized an uprising in São Paulo, like it was done in other cities, it would spread around the country." "[We are part...] [...of a national fight,] [...of a world fight.]" "[We can't stop now.]" "[We will only stop] [when we get]" "[1 million]" "[2 million] [3 million]" "[20 million] [people here] [to tell the politicians]" "[that it isn't right] [what they do] [with our money,]" "[with our health,] [with our education.]" "[Tomorrow it will be bigger!" "]" "[Tomorrow it will be bigger!" "]" "They just invaded the National Congress!" "Aha-Uhu, the Congress is ours!" "Monday I got very sad." "I was surprised with the amount of people on the streets." "At start, I thought it was very positive, but I was worried when I left." "At that day I saw lots people carrying the national flag, organized groups giving away national flags, anarchists, the Black Block, some political parties..." "There were a lot of groups that hated each other that day, and they were all there together." "I saw a total scattering of the main agenda." "I could barely hear people shouting about the transportation." "While I was at the manifestation, I thought it was beautiful." "But when I got home I saw many people posting worried comments on-line about the political right trying to co-opt members, saying they didn't like what they'd seen, that the movement had lost focus." "But I got home with my soul cleansed." "[The police declared] [it was a preventive measure.]" "TUESDAY, JUNE 18TH" "[The police intelligence identified] [a new attempt to invade the building,] [after the acts that happened today] [in other Brazilian cities.]" "[Thank you, Brasília.] [It is now 6:12PM.]" "Now.." "we will meet with the other fellows." "For that, we will turn the next left." "Everybody together and organized." "Today the city will stop." "Tuesday was a true popular uprising in the city." "[The movement couldn't...] [ensure a route] [for the march.]" "We didn't mean to go to the City Hall." "When it's over..." "Don't go outside!" "Tell everyone not to go outside!" "You must gather everyone in the great hall." "They are going to turn over the car." "Pay attention!" "We resisted as much as we could from calling the shock troop." "But the situation in the building is unsafe now." "So, unfortunately, the shock troop is getting in position..." "Excuse me." "[I was in the building] [when City Hall was attacked.]" "I could clearly see the police had stepped back." "At a certain moment, only the municipal guard was there." "The government really meant to hold back the protesters who were trying to invade the building using only the municipal guard." "But then the situation in that area got out of control." "City Hall warned the police." "I too got a text message from a Secretary warning me the shock troop was coming." "The protesters were heading to the Municipal Theater to invade it, and the shock troop took 2 hours to get there." "Have you ever done this before?" "Never." "It's the first time." "What does it feel like?" "This is our money, from our taxes." "What are you doing?" "Stealing?" "No, I'm just breaking stuff." "I don't take anything." "I have an old TV at home." "And who deserves what you're doing?" "The governments deserve it." "[There's this ideologically] [violent group.]" "[They think] [that's what must be done;]" "they must strike [institutions] [that represent capitalism.]" "[This group got mixed] [with people on the streets,] [people who live on the streets,] [delinquents around the city.]" "They took advantage of this situation." "The police was totally absent." "If people thought the police was violent, [they saw what it was like] [without the police.]" "WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19TH" "We've been talking with Mayor Fernando Haddad during these last days." "[We will go back to the R$ 3,00 fare,] [so that the city can move on.]" "I got the City Counsel together this week." "We must reopen the discussion about the consequences implied in the decision taken, for today and for the future." "6 years ago everybody thought it was crazy, and now people are discussing it on the streets, at the bars." "If I were a transport businessman," "I'd frankly think twice before crushing the people to get more profit, because the people are very aware of things now." "We'll have to cut back some investments, because the companies can't afford the fare reduction." "The State will bear these costs by adjusting the investments, holding back in some other areas." "We'll drink beer to celebrate..." "THURSDAY, JUNE 20TH" "People go out to the streets for very different reasons." "This scattering allows certain movements, which are a bit more organized, to take on the streets with different convictions and clash against one another." "No fascism!" "No fascism!" "No political parties!" "No political parties!" "In June 2013, nobody on the streets put their differences aside, for the benefit of common purpose." "On the contrary, people got out on the streets bringing all their differences." "Talk to yourselves, you bunch of losers!" "If the people on the streets are side by side, but they have different political opinions, which sometimes are incompatible, surely the differences will appear, and there will be violent episodes." "You're a bunch of bourgeois!" "You don't make any sense!" "I don't represent a political party!" "So what?" "No violence!" "Hey, let the girl talk!" "Thief!" "Thief!" "Fascists!" "Fascists!" "You won't go through!" "Morons!" "Morons!" "Opportunists!" "A political party won't solve this problem." "Don't oppress!" "You're being oppressive." "There was no oppression to freedom of speech." "There wasn't?" "How can you oppress someone because they held up a flag?" "The movement has no owners, my friend." "By your speech, you want the military dictatorship back!" "What about this riot?" "People are almost killing themselves." "They don't seem to understand one another." "Each day there are more isolated groups." "Before it was everybody together." "We didn't agree with many of the causes that started to appear." "Many conservative ideas started taking over the marches." "But we always understood the protests should be centered on the decrease of the fares." "It's only natural that a huge popular mobilization, especially one that turned out to be victorious and revoked the fare increase, will motivate other manifestations to flourish, and many other topics will be taken to the streets." "Groups of kids who are not usually political [participated on the demonstrations.]" "Then they became orphans, in a certain way, but they kept on going." "But there were also groups with very bad intentions." "This Thursday at the Paulista avenue there were skinheads," ""the white supremacy", neo-Nazis, people from the extreme right who were trying to co-opt these young kids." "When it became evident that there was a huge level of discontentment, and you had the right to show your discontent, people stopped repressing their opinions." "All the demands appeared on the streets, in a spectrum going from the extreme political left to the extreme right." "I'd say that's very natural, it means that politics has regained the streets." "Let me ask you:" "who is here in the protest because of the bus fare?" "Raise your hands." "Who is here for the rest?" "Renan, Sarney, get out of this country!" "Feliciano, my asshole has no religion." "It's missing focus." "They all want different things." "It's education for one, corruption to another..." "Another one is about the PEC 37." "It doesn't work out if everybody wants to approach all topics at the same time." "I think this is going nowhere." "Flags!" "Flags!" "How much is it?" "R$ 20" "R$ 20?" "!" "What are you protesting for?" "I'm against this law... this constitutional amendment they are planning to do." "Which one?" "PC..." "PC 37" "What is the PEC 37?" "PC 37!" "What is it?" "PEC 37 is a project for a constitutional amendment that limits the investigation activities to the members of the civil and federal police, no longer allowing the Public Prosecutor's Department to proceed with police investigations not only as the one entitled for the criminal prosecution," "but also as the one which holds the right for the investigations." "PEC 37 is..." "Oh, my gosh..." "It's a..." "How can I say?" "Then what happens?" "They go out to the streets to protest." "And these protests seem a little shallow." "They protest for education, health, against corruption." "These are protests of people with no political instruction." "PEC 37 wants to blind us for these robberies, these crimes that the government makes, well, not the government, the people at the House of Representatives..." "They want to blind us for all of that." "But that's the short version." "It's very complex." "And I'm also here for the health system." "I'm doing this because I'm Brazilian, even though I'm going to London in September." "I'm a Brazilian citizen and I'm outraged with the fucking corruption!" "Fascist!" "Then respect your country's constitution!" "No political parties!" "We're going down a dangerous path, guys." "No, we aren't." "It's a dangerous path." "The dangerous path is to be manipulated." "We no political parties we'll go back to dictatorship." "That's what we're fighting for!" "They may not like the politicians, I don't like them either." "They may not like president Dilma, governor Alckmin, mayor Haddad, but there hasn't been invented another way to mediate the State and the society, if not by politics and political parties." "Attention: the national broadcast of radio and television is now open for the declaration of president Dilma Rousseff." "WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26TH" "Come rain!" "We'll get wet!" "And wet we will fight!" "My friends," "All we Brazilians are following closely the manifestations occurring in the country." "It isn't lack of resources;" "it's not lack of money." "There is lots of money." "The World Cup is producing millions and millions." "And the worker is the one who suffers." "We want these criminals in the police in jail!" "I trust this moment we're living." "It's a slap in our face, as strong as we deserve it." "For those who can't stand the traffic in São Paulo anymore, join our fight!" "In reality, everybody has causes for dissatisfaction." "But those who really feel it in their skins the matters related to transportation, safety, are the lower classes living in the outskirts." "I like it when the people from the outskirts say," ""the outskirts were never sleeping"." "Because the idea that says "Brazil was sleeping and now it's awake"" "makes you think everyone was well, laying in their golden beds..." "The outskirts were never sleeping in golden beds." "Of course I didn't like this talk of "Brazil has awoken", because I'm part of a Brazil that was never sleeping." "And there is something else, the bullets are not rubber bullets in the outskirts." "I think many mothers, when they heard about rubber bullets in protests downtown, must have thought, "we'd rather have rubber bullets here too, my son would still be alive"." "The people from the outskirts always go to the streets." "Even before the protests, they did monthly manifestations on behalf of the transportation," "habitation." "The truth is they don't stand out as much as a protest in Paulista avenue." "If the outskirts manifestations were at Paulista avenue," "I'm sure the bullets wouldn't be made of rubber." "It's complicated at the outskirts." "You can go to hospital's doors and see what it's like..." "[A 11th grade kid] [can't write or read.]" "Some may say I exaggerate..." "We are a country that lost 55.000 people murdered last year." "It's a lot of people, over 50.000 people murdered." "[The placid shores of Ipiranga heard]" "[The blaring shout of a heroic folk]" "Fight!" "Fight!" "People have the power!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "People have the power!" "Our political system has shut out the society and is closed around itself, there is no longer a polarization of positions, when you can tell clearly the ideology in the power from the opposition." "So, what we have is a mismatch between a political system that works based is this governability agreement, and the people on the streets with a huge variety of political opinions," "that are not reflected in the political system." "We are living a very strong political emptiness." "For the first time, after the dictatorship ended, we have the depletion of a political cycle, without forming another alternative cycle." "It was very clear to the authorities that none of them could represent what was happening on the streets." "Nor PT or PSDB could present themselves as representatives for the protesters." "[We're in an island.]" "[It's a blue island,] [an illuminated island,] a fantasy island." "It's like there is nothing happening outside." "WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26TH" "These kids got ahead of us." "[The kids are out on the streets] to show how fragile are the institutions." "[They are the true democrats] [and they are worried about] [the fragility of the official] [institutions caused by our mistakes,] [the mistakes] [of the Federal Supreme Court,]" "[mistakes of the executive branch.]" "[Because we are unable] [to deal together with rules] that show the independence of each branch of power." "We are under a threat." "[The prove is that people,] [tired of waiting for our actions,] [took the streets.]" "I don't recall any episode in Brazilian history [in which you had] [a huge mass of people] [marching towards the national] [congress to break it.]" "[And the police couldn't do] [anything to prevent it,] [only deviate the protesters] [to another side] [so they would set something] [else on fire.]" "[So they set] [the Itamaraty building on fire.]" "[Now we can see fire.]" "What we are living today is a reaction." "All actions have a reaction." "They had it coming, people are reacting." "The politicians are generally like that, they can smell the demands on the streets and they follow it to try and understand what the people are asking for, even if they don't agree with any of that." "The people answered they were happy about the country." "Why, then, all this dissatisfaction exploding now?" "[Another day of efficiency] [in the congress,] [like we had never seen before.]" "[The protesters who fought for] [the rejection of PEC 37] [are now singing] [the national anthem.]" "[The senators approved the project] [that makes the crime] [of corruption hideous.]" "[I have a question.]" "[The protests will start in 30,] [40 minutes, out there.]" "[Are we going] [to close this session?" "]" "[As the House president,] [I can answer you] [that we'll be here] [all night if needed,] [as long as the manifestation] [is out there.]" "[Step carefully.] [Step carefully.]" "[If you can't deal with the ants,] [don't poke the anthill.]" "[My government has been fighting,] [alongside the national congress,] [for the oil royalties] [to be used 100% in education.]" "She says the royalties will go to education." "Who will control this?" "Who guarantees it will go to education?" "The protesters react like that because they think the people in the power are cynical, because the movement was actually against them." "The congress recognizes the legitimacy of democratic manifestations, like the ones that happened today." "I personally gave orders to the legislative police not to repress the popular manifestation." "The police are protecting me while I'm here." "That's very embarrassing." "Even in the worst moments of revolutions around the world, people protested against the executive branch, never against the legislative or judiciary." "Where did we go wrong?" "Hey, police!" "Go fuck yourself!" "Hey, police!" "Go fuck yourself!" "If they don't understand that what is at stake here is politics as a profession, as a business, then there is a real risk." "We will live in bitterness not only because of our impotence, celebrating with our vote and mockery our distance from the political system." "We will begin living a series of tensions that won't have an outlet, a channel out." "That's very bad, it could produce destructive results to everyone." "THURSDAY, JUNE 27TH" "Guys, the idea is this:" "we go together, and come back together, peacefully, from the Mineirão soccer stadium, ok?" "All those in favor of going to Mineirão, raise one of your hands." "Is this a joke or what?" "They can afford the World Cup, but not education." "In what measure the Confederations Cup motivated the manifestations?" "It was an influence not only because the world press was here and it was a good chance to show the movement to the world, but also because the sumptuousness of the new stadiums" "horrified the Brazilian people." "How can they build a stadium in the FIFA standards, as is the Brasilia stadium?" "It is absurd." "Like you said, it's like Taj Mahal in Brasilia, a city that doesn't even have soccer." "And they can't build a hospital in these same standards?" "People have to accept that the best hospital in Brasilia is the airport..." "We must stop with this nonsense of thinking soccer and politics don't mix." "That's the most reactionary speech you could possibly make." "That's the speech João Havelange made all his life, the one he used to support dictators." "Could be either Videla or Médici, or Geisel." ""I don't mix soccer with politics"." "Does your lack of political consciousness allow you to act like a barbarian then?" "No." "Things always get mixed." "You eat your breakfast politically;" "so you can only imagine a soccer team, which is capable of mobilizing the country." "[Regarding the World Cup,] [I want to make clear] [that the money spent on] [the arenas came from financings,] [which will be properly paid] [by the companies and governments]" "[who are profiting] [with these stadiums.]" "The name of the true president of Brazil, today, is FIFA." "FIFA got to our country and set a State inside our State." "And that's it." "It's not possible!" "Is it right to make fools out of the people?" "In 2014, we'll all be out there saying "vote for me!" "I'll be your representative at the House of Representatives"." "[How are we representatives?" "]" "What does hideous means?" "Hideous means disgusting, [something that makes you] [want to throw up.]" "Corruption kills people at the doorsteps of hospitals." "Corruption kills people in the highways." "Corruption steals the future of an entire generation of Brazilians." "The politicians have never denied they are criminals;" "we are the ones who are cowards." "We should be whipped by them every day at 6:00 PM." "All of us, all the workers, all the honest people in this country, should bend over before them and get hit." "Because of all we let them do..." "Somehow I consented these men to remain in power, to leave the people in misery." "I consented through my silence, for being coward." "I think these men are right, they ought to rob us, because we are too coward." "We're a very hypocrite society." "We give R$ 1,00 to a bum but we don't want to know who turned that guy into a bum." "It's the fucking revolution!" "Revolution!" "I see in this moment one of the most important moments in our history." "Today, thousands of people occupy the streets." "There's a clear lack of leadership." "It's a sign of renouncement to the old way of making politics." "[Soccer, as sport in general,] [is a symbol of peace among] [the different cultures.]" "[Brazil deserves to make] [a great World Cup, and it will.]" "When the supporters continued singing a cappella the national anthem, and the players singed together while standing in the field, something special happened." "I even wrote a column about it, titled "The anthem's fuel"." "SUNDAY, JUNE 30TH" "[The placid shores of Ipiranga heard]" "[The blaring shout of a heroic folk]" "[The sun of Liberty in shining rays]" "[Shone in homeland's sky at this instant]" "[If the pledge of this equality]" "[We could conquer with strong arm]" "[In thy bosom,] [O freedom]" "[Our chest defy death itself!" "]" "[O beloved,] [Idolized homeland]" "[Hail, hail]" "[Brazil, an intense dream, a vivid ray]" "[Of love and hope descends to earth]" "[If in thy comely,] [Smiling and limpid sky]" "[The image of the Southern Cross blazes]" "[Giant by thine own nature]" "[Thou art beautiful, thou art strong,] [An impavid colossus]" "[And thy future mirrors thy greatness]" "[Adored Land]" "[Amongst a thousand others] [Art thou, Brazil]" "[O beloved homeland]" "[Of the sons of this ground]" "[Thou art kind mother,] [Beloved homeland]" "[Brazil!" "]" "[In the democratic game,] [the winner could become the loser] [in the next 5 minutes,] [or maybe nobody wins anything.]" "Because the conflicts are bigger than the solutions." "But I believe that, in a very peculiar way, [it could be a good change if we started] [complaining about what's wrong.]" "Fuck the World Cup!" "[40 million people.]" "[We made a lot of progress] [in the last 20 years,] [thanks to the past governments,] [the Brazilian society,] [the democratic constitution.]" "[This didn't just magically happen.]" "[We've been taking] [more and more Brazilians] [from extreme poverty conditions.]" "[Now, this people want more.]" "[There is the dream of a society] [that goes beyond the consumer market.]" "[Today, we can say we have] [less social disparities,] [and that reflects] [on people´s right to consume.]" "However, the public schools still reproduce social disparities." "[The health system still] [reproduces social disparities...]" "Get out of there!" "Get the fuck out of there!" "[We will resist!" "] [We will resist!" "]" "You're discrediting the popular wisdom if you think the people mix victory in sports with political needs." "Even in the specific moment of victory, they don't mix the two things together." "It doesn't mean the governments don't try to take advantage of the situation, though." "Whether you're a conservative, ultra-liberal, extreme-left, anarchist, environmentalist, ruralist..." "Nobody is satisfied." "Everyone feels the structure in power needs to go through profound changes." "There were almost 1 million people in Rio de Janeiro..." "I don't know how many thousand in São Paulo, in Brasilia..." "[We got so close!" "]" "I think Brazil suffers from premature ejaculation." "We were there, had some fun, and thought," ""Is this what revolution is like?" "I've had enough, I'm leaving."" "[The referee has whistled!" "]" "[We're the champions] [of the Confederations Cup!" "]" "[The month of June] [brought out the need] [for everyone to stop] [and rethink themselves.]" "[The political parties, the unions,] [the mainstream media, the police,] the political system... everyone must stop and balance things."
