The violence of the Brazilian people, the long-standing violence in the stadium, the slums that occasionally sounded, the frequent robbery on the streets... When the World Cup entered the countdown sprint phase, it was 32 more powerful than the preparations for the games and the promulgated list. The outside world is more concerned about whether Brazil can host a safe and successful World Cup.

Judging from the current situation, several cities in Brazil have already launched ** campaigns against the World Cup. In addition, employees from various industries across the country have successively held wage increases for the **. The upcoming world football feast will not be optimistic about the security situation.

The alarm is already sounding

On May 15th, Brazil had dozens of events in cities. This was another round of nationwide events that followed the Confederations Cup and the World Cup before the Brazilian people broke out for the sports competition.

In the opening match in Sao Paulo, the finals in Rio de Janeiro, and the capital in Brasilia, some activists burned tires and blocked traffic. Some held banners, shouted slogans against the World Cup, and rushed into the World Cup stadium construction company. Office location. In Recife, one of the 12 host cities, even violent incidents took place.

In parallel with the campaign, since mid-May, 22 of Brazil’s 26 states and the Federal District of the capital have successively held **, including bus drivers, doctors, teachers, police officers, garbage handlers, and airport porters.

On the one hand, the Brazilian government grants the rights of the Brazilian public and prostitutes according to the law. On the other hand, it cannot meet the requirements of the laborers. As a result, the gambling has become increasingly fierce, the contradictions have been deepening, and various problems have accumulated, causing daily lives to be affected.

In April, violence was reported in the slums near Rio's famous Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, killing one person, and Copacabana Beach was the FIFA World Cup’s 12 unsupported fans. One of the venues for the carnival.

Security problems in Brazil are also worrying. Theft and robbery cases are frequent. It is reported that the number of robbery cases around the Maracana Stadium in the World Cup finals doubled in March compared with the same period of last year. In addition, the riots in Fansui, one of the venues for the World Cup, also broke out earlier this month. One was strangled by a toilet removed from the toilet. The violence on the court in Brazil has been a long time. It is really worrying that similar events have happened in the World Cup.

How to ensure safety

In order to ensure the safety of officials, teams, nearly 3 million Brazilian fans and 600,000 foreign fans who came to Brazil during the event, the Brazilian government invested 1.9 billion reals (about 800 million U.S. dollars) and mobilized 170,000 people** . The number of public safety personnel participating in the safeguarding of the World Cup will be three times that of last year's Confederations Cup, and the investment of funds has also increased a lot due to the large-scale communism that has occurred after the Confederations Cup. In addition, there will be 20,000 private security personnel participating in competitions, training, fans’ carnivals, and other activities in the team’s accommodation area.

Just 1 month before the start of the World Cup, Brazil also sent 30,000 live-in soldiers and rifles to Brazil’s stretched borders to fight terrorist attacks and other criminal activities from the source.

According to André Rodriguez, Special Security Security Secretary of the Ministry of Justice of Brazil, the security protection during the major events is divided into two parts: public safety and national defense. Public safety refers to courts, roads, airports, borders, hotels, participating teams. , celebrations and other security; and national defense security, including anti-terrorism, helicopter patrols, aviation security, network security, border cooperation. To this end, Brazil has set up the World Cup Security Hub in Brasilia, which is jointly responsible for the security departments of 32 participating associations of the relevant departments of the Brazilian Federal Government, the International Security Center and the World Cup, and then radiates these measures to 12 Brazilian nations. The state where the city is located.

During the World Cup, the airspace of 12 host cities in Brazil will be restricted according to different levels, including white areas (reserve areas), yellow areas (restricted areas) and red areas (prohibited areas). On the opener and finals day, ATC began 3 hours before the start of the match and ended 4 hours after the start of the match. During the group matches, an hour before the match and three hours after the start of the match are the ATC periods. The rest of the day is an hour before the start of the match and 4 hours after the start of the match.

In order to combat criminal crimes and maintain social security, Brazil has also stepped up street patrols. Taking Rio as an example, the plan for deploying additional police forces that was originally scheduled to begin just a few days before the opening of the game has been advanced to May 5. At present, 2000 policemen have been added to Rio's street patrols.

Brazil is not a war zone

The information is complicated, how do you judge the security situation of the World Cup in Brazil? Perhaps from the comments of two senior executives who are directly involved in this tournament, one can snoop on one or two.

The FIFA general secretary who has been responsible for connecting to the World Cup in Brazil, Walker, said that the biggest challenge in this tournament is not for the media, the team or the officials, but for the fans, the foreign fans must do a good job in the lack of infrastructure in Brazil. Fully prepared. He pointed out that this is Brazil, but not Germany.

Walker reminded the fans that some things that are common in Europe do not work in Brazil. For example, you can't sleep on the beach, mainly because it will be winter during the World Cup; to arrange your hotel, you can't come back with a shoulder bag. You can't drive from one city to another. Don't think that you are in Germany. You can easily travel around the country. You must be vigilant. In Germany, you can sleep in the car at night, but in Brazil you cannot.

Although the outside world is very concerned about the preparations and security of the World Cup in Brazil, Brazilian sports minister Rebello said that all competitions will be subject to security. He believes that Brazil is not a country with strong religious conflicts and conflicts, let alone wars. In the region, I believe that Brazil has the ability to ensure the safe and successful hosting of the World Cup.

Indeed, as the two men have said, Brazil is as critical as no war zone, but it will not be as well organized as Germany. Although the security situation in Brazil is indeed a problem, after the opening whistle may not be so terrible as imagined. But of course, the premise is that everyone should pay more attention to their own safety.
