Over 1,000 protester took to the streets of Sao Paulo yesterday to protest over high cost of living since the country's holding the World Cup in Brazil later this year.
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in front of the Sao Paulo art museum for about an hour before heading out to another part of the city chanting slogans against the tournament while waving banners and flags. But later the demonstration descended into violence, destroying and even attacking an empty police car.

University student Leonardo Pelegrini dos Santos said:

'By rights we mean the people's right to decent public services. 'We are against the millions and millions of dollars being spent for the Cup. It is money should be invested in better health and education services and better transportation and housing.'
