Could this be an opportunistic line to recover a drop in popularity steering towards political victory for the elections in October?
Rouseff has a clear focus: to regain power and host the two mega sporting events peacefully, followed by a transformed country. However the general consensus at the conference was that a peaceful and transformed Brazil is not likely in the foreseeable future, unless aggressive investments and forced evictions stop and people can live without fear of an increasingly militarized police force.
