VOICED : Brasil: boicot con miniheladeras

The video discusses the rising costs in Ipanema, particularly before the World Cup, making leisure activities like enjoying camarones and caipirinhas unaffordable. Residents have responded by creating a Facebook page, Río Surreal, to protest price hikes and organize boicots. The hisoporciños movement encourages public gatherings with personal food and drinks to avoid high bar prices, which has already led to a 15% reduction in beer prices at some bars.
