BRASILIA — Brazil's president said Tuesday that the voices of hundreds of thousands of protestors across the country, angered by the cost of hosting sporting events such as the World Cup, must be heard.

"These voices need to be heard," Dilma Rousseff said in an address at the presidential palace. "My government is listening to these voices for change."

"My government is committed to social transformation," she added, hailing what she called the largely peaceful nature of the protests.

"The voices of the street want more citizenship, health, transport, opportunities," said Brazil's first female head of state, a former Marxist guerrilla who was jailed and tortured during the country's 1964-1985 military dictatorship.

More than 250,000 people, most of them young, took to the streets of major cities Monday in the biggest social protests in 20 years to rail against the $15 billion being spent on the ongoing Confederations Cup and next year's World Cup to the detriment of investment in health and education.

"My government wants to broaden access to education and health, understands that the demands of the people change," Rousseff said.

The protesters also got the backing of Brazilian international Daniel Alves, who is preparing for Wednesday's Brazil-Mexico Confederations Cup clash in the northeast city of Fortaleza.

On his Instagram online photo-sharing service account, he posted a picture of a giant eye with yellow and green colors, as well as the motto of the national flag: "Order and Progress."

"Order and Progress without violence for a better Brazil, a peaceful Brazil, an educated, healthy, honest and happy Brazil," he wrote.

“…  Government

Let us speak of government. We're not speaking of your government, but of any government - the way it works, how it survives, how it has survived, the way it campaigns, and how it elects leaders. It's going to change.

Years ago, I told you, "When everybody can talk to everybody, there can be no secrets." Up to this point on this planet, government has counted on one thing - that the people can't easily talk to each other on a global scale. They have to get their information through government or official channels. Even mass media isn't always free enough, for it reports that which the government reports. Even a free society tends to bias itself according to the bias of the times. However, when you can have Human Beings talking to each other all at once, all over the planet without government control, it all changes, for there is open revelation of truth.

Democracy itself will change and you're going to see it soon. The hold-outs, the few countries I have mentioned in the past, are doomed unless they recalibrate. They're doomed to be the same as they have been and won't be able to exist as they are now with everyone changing around them.

I mentioned North Korea in the past. Give it time. Right now, the young man is under the control of his father's advisors. But when they're gone, you will see something different, should he survive. Don't judge him yet, for he is being controlled.

In government, if you're entire voting base has the ability to talk to itself without restriction and comes up with opinions by itself without restriction, it behooves a politician to be aware and listen to them. This will change what politicians will do. It will change the way things work in government. Don't be surprised when some day a whole nation can vote all at once in a very unusual way. Gone will be the old systems where you used to count on horseback riders to report in from faraway places. Some of you know what I am talking about. Government will change. The systems around you, both dark and light, will change. You're going to start seeing something else, too, so let's change the subject and turn the page. …”
