On This Monday, October 31, the Elected Governor of Santa Catarina (SC), Jorginho Mello (PL), Spoke About the Protests by Truck Drivers Who Support Bolsonaro in the State, Which Started an Intense Protest Against the Results of This Sunday’s Elections, October 30. According to Him, He Is Not in Favor of the Protests.
More than 70 points have already been blocked in Santa Catarina (SC) and the truck drivers claim they will only leave the roads when Bolsonaro speaks out about the results of the 2022 elections. According to the protesters, they do not agree with the results announced last Sunday, the 30th. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was elected for a third time with 50.9% after being judged and convicted by Sérgio Moro.
“Our only way to express our dissatisfaction is through stoppages. Until the president speaks out, the truck driver will not leave home or the highway where he is. As the days go by, the stopping points will increase. This time it’s either go or break, we will not accept what is happening,” says Sheile in protest. The flow on the roads is stagnant and other states besides Santa Catarina (SC) are following the same pace. Many, including, are requesting the annulment of the election results.
