There's
something
rotten
in
____________________
-
and
the
smell
is
coming
from
the
huge
stacks
of
____________________
piled
up
on
sidewalks
all
over
the
city
.
Rio's
street
____________________
chose
the
carnival
holiday
to
demand
better
____________________
.
Their
wages
start
at
roughly
$400
a
month
.
There
could
hardly
be
a
better
time
for
them
to
prove
their
importance
.
The
streets
were
left
a
____________________
after
hundreds
of
carnival
parades
and
now
,
____________________
piles
up
in
both
poor
and
uptown
____________________
-
and
in
tourist
areas
like
Ipanema
or
____________________
beach
.
The
president
of
Rio's
rubbish
collecting
company
has
even
appealed
to
the
____________________
to
store
rubbish
at
home
whenever
possible
.
He
says
30%
of
the
city's
sweepers
have
gone
on
____________________
.
Some
of
those
who
have
been
working
have
been
threatened
by
the
strike
movement
so
now
police
has
been
deployed
alongside
rubbish
____________________
to
keep
them
safe
as
they
go
about
their
business
.
The
strike
has
divided
opinions
in
Rio
.
On
social
media
,
many
support
the
sweepers'
____________________
for
better
salaries
.
Others
say
they
are
opportunists
and
the
situation
is
a
big
____________________
to
the
city
.
But
Brazil's
culture
of
____________________
the
streets
doesn't
help
.
A
video
that
went
viral
online
shows
that
even
____________________
have
a
problem
with
that
.
Rio's
mayor
,
Eduardo
Paes
,
is
seen
throwing
what
seemed
to
be
the
rest
of
an
apple
on
the
____________________
-
and
now
promised
to
impose
himself
a
fine
for
his
wrongdoing
.
His
government
recently
created
a
____________________
to
keep
Rio's
residents
from
littering
the
streets
.
