Al Jazeera: Farnsworth on Brazil's Mass Protests
COA Vice President Eric Farnsworth talks with Al Jazeera about Brazil's mass protests, which began in response to bus fare increases. Farnsworth discusses the leadership challenges that arise within a large movement, such as numerous demands that are difficult for the government to address. The root of this movement is an aggravated middle class asking for better public services while the government takes on additional expenses in preparation of the World Cup, Farnsworth says.
