Paola Goulart_Rio247 - They are not many, but they are certainly much more informal than the Americans who started, in New York, the largest peaceful protest movement of global expression in recent weeks -- the Occupy Wall Street movement. The occupation of a square near the world's financial center corresponded to similar movements in 83 countries. Last week, it arrived in Rio, where about 50 tents were set up in Cinelândia. What do they want there? Something like showing a broad, general and unrestricted critique of global capitalism. Too much? Not for them.
