On Friday (18/11), supporters of President Jair Bolsonaro started to mobilize themselves to promote new blockades on federal highways against a decision by Federal Supreme Court (STF) Minister Alexandre de Moraes to block the bank accounts of 43 businessmen suspected of funding the protests in the beginning of November. Those involved in this movement also complain about the fines given to them as punishment for blocking the roads.
Current Conditions
Until around 10:53 of this Monday (21/11), there were about 9 total blockades on the roads of the following states: Mato Grosso and Bahia, according to the Federal Highway Police (PRF). In addition, there are 12 partial blockades. The current condition indicates a still incipient movement.
Possibility of Lockout
Authorities suspect that the protests are in fact being promoted by the companies that own the trucks, in this case, these acts would be considered a case of lockout.
Protests in Front of Military Barracks Besides the demonstrations on the roads, protesters remain in front of military barracks to call for a “Military Intervention” against the newly elected government.
