Moving takes first steps ‘despite’ Bolsonaro – Juventud Rebeldi

BRASILIA, NOVEMBER 1 – Bolsonaro’s truck drivers continued to block roads at dawn, spurred on by the silence finally broken by the president on Tuesday, when he asserted “I will continue to fulfill all the mandates contained in the constitution,” but declined to explicitly acknowledge Lula’s electoral victory.

During a seemingly ambiguous message lasting only two minutes, according to RT, Bolsonaro revealed he was “still thirteen.” He did not directly contest Sunday’s election results and had relatively words of reprimand for the protests, although he once again captured the hate, stating that “our methods cannot be those of the left, which has always harmed the population (… )”.

However, he ended up agreeing with his mobilization when he asserted that the blockade “is the result of discontent and a sense of injustice at the way the electoral process was conducted,” which he also repeated his unproven accusations of the electoral system and elections.

Despite the fact that protesters maintained their position in many places, the Federal Highway Police reported that 192 roadblocks had already been brought under control, and the flow of vehicles at those points had been normalized.

From the day before, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) had ordered the government to take immediate measures to clear the roads blocked by truckers who did not accept Bolsonaro’s defeat, who could have been joined by the president’s other followers, and it turned out that the perpetrators would be fined.

The uniformed body had previously reported the existence of more than 250 total or partial sieges in at least 23 states. According to local media, the protest in front of the country’s main international airport, in São Paulo, caused the cancellation of many flights due to passenger delays.

The reaction is consistent with the doubts that Bolsonaro has planted for several weeks about the legitimacy of the electoral process if he loses the election, and is now repeated, amid the atmosphere of hatred he sowed to the opponent during the campaign and his constant questioning of the opponent. institutional.

Some of the protesters told the media that they were waiting for them to challenge the results. For this reason, analysts estimated that Bolsonaro’s silence and lack of recognition of Lula’s victory fueled the chaos. In his words on Tuesday, the president also did not disentangle these threats of destabilization.

Meanwhile, the transition has taken its first steps. His chief of staff, Ciro Nogueira, used the word after Bolsonaro to report that they already had approaches to a transition with Lula’s team, which will be headed by Vice President-elect Geraldo Alcumen, and will include another 50 people appointed by Lula’s team. He will be the new president, noted Brasil de Vato.

Other Bolsonaro officials who accepted defeat included Arthur Lira, Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, who stated that “the will of the majority expressed at the ballot box should never be challenged, and we will advance in building a sovereign nation, just and less uneven.”

Ricardo Salles, former minister in the executive branch of Bolsonaro and elected deputy, spoke in the same vein, estimating that “the result of the most polarizing election in Brazil’s history brings with it many ideas and the need to look for ways to pacify the country in the literal sense of the word divided in half.”

Meanwhile, Lula, who in his speech after the victory called for unity and denied the existence of “Brazilians”, continues to receive greetings from heads of state and leaders of various countries congratulating him on the victory.

Yesterday I spoke with dozens of heads of state. They all want to expand alliances and work together with Brazil on trade, climate and major global issues. We are returning to the world,” the Labor leader wrote on the social network Twitter, PL.
