Thousands of demonstrators walk downtown Niteroi, near Rio de Janeiro, on June 19, 2013, during a protest against the $15 billion being spent on this month's Confederations Cup and the 2014 World Cup. Protests initially sparked by a hike in bus fares in Sao Paulo last week, quickly spiraled into nationwide marches against corruption, fueled by anger that -- in a country with a wide rich-poor divide -- billions of dollars were being spent on stadiums and far too little was earmarked for social programs.
