Early in the morning in Lagoa da Italianinha, a crowd gathered for a reason: they were listening to Marcella, who sells food on the streets and was giving a speech.
Marlene, in her snack bar, said:
"What's going on there? Why so many people?"
"It seems Marcella, that woman who sells food on the streets, is speaking," said Deinha Life, her employee.
"Oh, I know who she is... that Marcella is a troublemaker. She's a barefoot woman who sells food on the streets, I know who she is."
Marcella was complaining about the conditions at the bus station. She said:
"The bus station is a mess, it's not well maintained. Mayor Myllena, look after our bus station. This is where people arrive, this is like our living room. If the bus station isn't well maintained, people don't want to come back because they think the city is neglected." The bathroom stinks, it's awful, I didn't even dare go in because I'm barefoot, and the floor is dirty. This bus station doesn't have a janitor, and there are people who sleep here at night and leave trash on the floor. Take action!
Marcella's speech was being recorded by some people using their cell phones. She was applauded by the merchants and tourists who were passing by.
