M.PRESS/ President Lula da Silva announced that $3,2 billion USD will be spent to upgrade airports for the 2014 World Cup. "Someone (from FIFA) a few days ago said that we had lost two years and eight months since the Cup’s organization was awarded to Brazil, and that we haven’t done a thing since then”, said Lula. He stressed that Brasil is moving ahead. Lula also said last week that “it seems some people believe that those organizing the 2014 Cup in Brazil are a bunch of idiots," adding that “ignorance sometimes makes people forget that there’s a forced bureaucratic ritual” for the distribution of funds. The largest share is destined for Sao Paul's Guarulhos airport (680 million USD) while the least is earmarked for Recife in the northeast with 11 million USD.
