Videos circulating on social media show rural producers and truck drivers interdicting highways after the defeat of President Jair Bolsonaro (PL). The demonstrations take place in the interior of Mato Grosso and Santa Catarina – such as Criciúma and Itajaí. In some of the videos, protesters call for the Army to intervene and claim that they will only leave the highways with the Army.
In Mato Grosso, the Rota do Oeste concessionaire reported demonstrations with the closing of the BR-163 in Nova Mutum, km 594, southbound; Lucas do Rio Verde, at km 691; Smile, km 746; and Sinop, at km 835. “The concessionaire continues to monitor, without interference, the demonstrations focused on road safety”, he informed. The Federal Highway Police (PRF) in the state said it had several operational teams moving to the north of Mato Grosso.
When questioned, the PRF had not commented until the publication of this article.
