Brazil has been shaken a year ago, in full confederations Cup, by a slingshot historical social against the 11 billion of public funds wasted on the organization of the 2014 World Cup, at the expense of the improvement of public services.

Since that, the demonstrations have lost in intensity but have been radicalized around, particularly under the action of the anarchists of the group Black Block.
