La presidenta de Brasil, recibió en Brasilia, a las autoridades de la Unión Europea (UE) que intervinieron en la VI cumbre de la Asociación de ese bloque de Naciones y el Mercosur. 


En la recepción, realizada en el Palacio del Planalto, estuvieron presentes Herman Van Rompuy, presidente del consejo europeo, José Manuel Durao Raposo, presidente de la comisión europea y Karel de Gucht comisario europeo del comercio.

Entre los temas de mayor trascendencia tratados en el encuentro anual que se efectúa entre las dos regiones, están el análisis de la situación económica y financiera internacional; el proceso de los temas del G-20 y el avance de las negociaciones para un acuerdo de Asociación de la UE con el Mercosur.

Por parte de Brasil quedó claro que este país tiene interés en buscar herramientas para combatir la crisis e impedir que la adversidad de la coyuntura internacional afecte a la mayor economía latinoamericana.

Para la Unión Europea, que es el principal socio comercial de Brasil, la idea es aumentar el comercio y las inversiones brasileñas en Europa, las mismas que ya superan los 80 mil millones de dólares.

The majority of Brazilians living in the southern city of Sao Paulo feel insecure and dissatisfied with the services provided by the government, Press TV reports.


The Brazilian Institute of Surveys and Statistics revealed 91 percent of residents in Brazil’s largest city feel the need for greater police protection and more entertainment facilities, according to reports on Wednesday. 

The opinion poll has recorded a 47 percent satisfaction in living standards -- being the worst since four years ago -- and 56 percent of Brazilians would prefer to leave the city. 

Sao Paulo’s 11 million residents have seen an increase of crime rates since 2009, which has heightened anxiety levels among the public. 

“The fact is that 100 percent of the population is scared. The situation of public safety in the city of Sao Paulo is shameful. The gangs are in command and the state governor is responsible for that,” Sao Paulo Commissioner Laercio Benko Lopes said.


Social science experts say the rise in violence across the city comes from social inequality and inadequate public services such as libraries, parks or culture centers. 

Crime prevention on the streets of Sao Paulo comes with tens of thousands of civil and military police officers, which 60 percent of people in the city say they do not trust. 

“The police are working the streets with more than 100,000 officers,” Governor of Sao Paulo Geraldo Alckmin said and added, “We have increased the number of officers to act extensively to reduce crime.” 

On October 31, 2012, the government launched a key anti-crime operation aimed at reducing major offenses, following a rise in killings in the area

In defense of a sacred ground, about 20 Indians from the Maracana Indigenous tribe, who are now living on the ground of the ruins of the Indian Museum, promise to fight to the end against the demolition of the property ordered by the State Governor Sergio Cabral.


The museum was built 150 years ago and is located near the famous Maracan stadium, one of the landmarks of Rio de Janeiro. 

To protect the Indians from lawsuits, the Public Defender Union contested the demolition arguing in court that the property presents no risk of collapse and that it does not interfere with the mobility of people during the Soccer World Cup, the main reason given by the government to remove the Indians from the building. 

The Shock Battalion of the Military Police stands outside waiting for the final decision to remove all members of the tribe from the site. 

The Indians have made a cultural center at the site and hope that the current situation will give visibility to tribal concerns. The Indians have reaffirmed that they will fight to the end to stay in the area saying that the Indian Museum is a historic building and it is where they want to live.
