Just few hours more and the Fifa World Cup 2014 will officially start.
It will begin for politicians, for tourists (the gringos), for the rich, for the bureaucrats of FIFA.
For poor people, the vast majority of the population, there will be no World Cup.
Hundreds of marches, protests and strikes, combined with the evidence inability of the state to improve the living conditions and stop the violence (especially from the police) have determined that this will not be the Cup of the people.
And this is already a result of the mobilizations of the past year.
What will happen during the cup?
All the international media are waiting for the news that will pierce the first page …
All politicians flaunt certainties but are holding their breath, hoping that nothing can ruin their dream of grandeur …
All the FIFA bureaucrats hope that nothing can spoil the show around the stadiums, modern temples for the God of money …
On the other hand, there are activists and people, committed for years against a mega-event marked by waste and corruption in a country that clearly need urgently to schools and hospitals.
What will happen nobody knows.
What is certain is that there are all prerequisites (mobilizations that continue from last year, daily marches, ongoing strikes, repression …) for a month to be interesting and intense.
All the world is watching.
