PROTESTS
Bolsonaro supporters have held demonstrations since the end of the 2nd round, dissatisfied with the result of the polls, on October 30. Truck drivers interdicted and blocked federal highways across the country.
In Brasilia, Bolsonarists set up camp in Praça dos Cristais, located in the Urban Military Sector, in front of the Army Headquarters. During the act on November 20, 2022, they asked for military intervention.
After Bolsonaro’s trip to the United States on December 30, the camp was emptied. Even with Lula’s inauguration, supporters of the former chief executive remained in front of the HQ and awaited the Army’s order to leave the place.
On Friday, the Municipal Guard of Belo Horizonte, in Minas Gerais, removed a camp in front of the 4th Military Region of the Army, on Avenida Raja Gabaglia. Protesters had been in place since October 31. The Army accompanied the work.
