The thousands of Cariocas who expected to hear and see on Sunday near the U.S. president, Barack Obama, will have to settle it through screens. The U.S. delegation canceled by surprise speech that he planned to be outdoors to the president, who now only be directed to the Brazilian people from the interior of the Teatro Municipal of Rio de Janeiro, with capacity for only a few hundred people.
While the Municipal Theatre was initially shuffled to host the event in case of rain, the official agenda announced Wednesday night that Obama planned to talk outside in the plaza of Cinelândia, historical scene of protests and political events. Since the weather did not seem to justify the change of plans, it is expected on a sunny Sunday in the city, the reasons could be thousands of miles.
As far as New York, where the Security Council authorized UN air strikes against the forces of dictator Muammar Gaddafi in Libya. A decision which, according to U.S. sources, raises fears of possible reprisals against the occupant of the Oval Office when exposed to the crowd. But the Brazilian authorities, uncomfortable with the changes in the agenda, not just believe that the Libyan crisis is the only reason.
As reported by O Globo, the decision may have weighed too concern with the possible lack of public due to strict safety standards established by the American organizers. Attendees should be duly identified and with their bags or backpacks for review. The cancellation of outdoor awaited speech made Cinelândia Square on Friday began to return to normal after several days of preparation.
The charge of mounting the box confirmed that it had been ordered to "remove the material, except for the screens and speakers. Nor can the Rio feel close to Obama in his rise to Christ the Redeemer, on Mount Corcovado, since access to the symbolic statue will be cut only for the U.S. presidential family.
The third stop of the ruling on his visit to Brasilia from Rio, where on Saturday he will meet with Dilma Rousseff should be a favela, although that aspect is still not officially confirmed. The chosen community seems to be the film Cidade de Deus (City of God), which in the last week has undergone a facelift to welcome his guest with a show of 'capoeira' and percussion.
