The pro-bolsonaro gradually returns home in Brazil. The road dams erected by demonstrators refusing to accept the defeat of the far -right president had practically disappeared on Friday, November 4. Only a few dozen irreducibles continued to protest in front of barracks.
The last count of the Federal Road Police (PRF) reported only 5 dams in two of the 27 states in the country. None of them completely prevents the circulation of vehicles. “No federal highway is obstructed by a blockage,” said the PRF on her social networks.
Since the defeat of Jair Bolsonaro against the former leftist president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in the presidential election on Sunday, the PRF says that she had 975 dams on roads of all Brazil.
The IBOVESPA SAO PAULO BOURSEE index finished the session on an increase of 1.08 %, after having climbed more than 2 % at the opening, reassured by this improvement in the political and social climate.
The movement began to run out of steam on Wednesday, after the broadcast of a video of the head of state calling for his supporters to “free the roads”. The National Confederation of Industry had warned on Tuesday of the “imminent risk of shortage”, in particular of fuel, if the road axes remained blocked.
Jair Bolsonaro nevertheless called “legitimate” demonstrations in front of barracks and other military command, which gathered tens of thousands of people in a dozen Brazilian cities.
These far-right demonstrators demanded the intervention of the army to prevent Lula from returning to power for a third term, after having directed the country from 2003 to 2010.
Friday, a hundred irreducible were still posted in front of the army headquarters in Brasilia, and about thirty in Sao Paulo, reported journalists from the France-Presse agency. In Rio de Janeiro, on the other hand, the demonstrators had left the square in front of the local military command.
After a campaign tainted by several episodes of violence, a 12 -year -old teenager died on Thursday, succumbing to her injuries after being shot when she celebrated Lula’s victory in the street on Sunday, at Belo Horizonte.
President Bolsonaro has never explicitly recognized his defeat and even less congratulated Lula for his election, but he promised to “respect the Constitution”.
Geraldo Alckmin, elected vice-president, judged “very profitable” the first meeting on Thursday that he had with members of the Bolsonaro government in order to prepare the transition until the enthronement of Lula, 1 ER January in Brasilia.
Friday, executives of the workers’ party (PT) visited the premises which will be occupied by the transitional team, at the cultural center of the Bank of Brazil, in Brasilia. The names of the ministers of the future Lula government were to be announced soon.
