Rio de Janeiro's Mayor Marcelo Crivella talks with the media in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Monday, June 19, 2017. Members of Rio de Janeiro's samba schools protested Saturday against the mayor's proposal to slash city funds for next year's Carnival. Crivella plans to reduce the city hall's support from $640,000 (2 million reals) to $320,000 (1 million reals) for each school, and says the difference will be spent on resources for children's day care centers.
