Dozens of protesters clashed with police late Friday, throwing fireworks and torching at least two vehicles near Sao Paulo´s airport, which opened a new international terminal ahead of the World Cup.
Police responded with stun grenades to disperse the estimated 50 protesters who demonstrated in the Sao Paulo suburb of Guarulhos to demand better living conditions, according to media reports.
“They looted fireworks and ignited them and threw them at the police. There were no reports of injury but some vehicles were damaged,” a police spokeswoman told the media.
The protest occurred just 27 days ahead of the World Cup
