Blockades on highways
As shown by AMAZON AGENCY the Amazon States have registered roadblocks by protesters who do not accept the victory of President-elect, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The latest reported by the Federal Highway Police (PRF), in Amazonas, occurred on 23 November, when BR-174 was blocked at KM 884.
Antidemocracy
The acts are considered antidemocratic because they call for federal intervention to stop a legitimately constituted government, according to Law No. 14,197, known as the Law of the Democratic State of Law. Demonstrators are calling for the Armed Forces to act to disrupt Lula’s inauguration.
In Rondônia, another state where the operation takes place and where blockades of federal roads have also been registered, a truck driver ran over a woman who was participating in the blockade of a highway. The man was detained by military police officers.
