In Brazil, subway workers have suspended a five-day strike over wages but warned it could resume in time for Thursday’s opening match of the World Cup. On Monday meanwhile, striking teachers protested in Rio de Janeiro.
Maria de Lurdes Fonseca: “We are showing Brazil and the world that our country needs to invest in healthcare, education, public transportation and culture. Not in stadiums, not in airports. We need public goods that go to the people, not to FIFA, not to tourists. We want investment that stays here, that stays for the people.”
