The day after the elections in Brazil he combined political and economic expectations of the new authorities sectors linked to the ruling party who opposed the acceptance of the ruling from the polls.
The small difference between winner Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and President Jair Bolsonaro has increased that anger in extremist groups who have bought the idea of the lack of transparency in the election insistently proclaimed by the far-right president.
Bolsonaro did not dismiss the findings, but he did not officially accept them either, although his relatives anticipated that there will be no interrogations. But that silence did not contribute to the serenity of his most violent bases.
In the night following the closing of the polls, messages multiplied on social networks inviting us to ignore the victory of the former Social Democratic president and fraud report.
On Monday morning it was learned that the militants of the truckers’ chamber, one of the toughest and most vertical sectors with the head of state, have begun to block some routes in the south of the country, where the ruling party is stronger.
They did it with the intention of forcing, they say, a movement of the Armed Forces ignore the victory of the PT. But sources close to the judiciary of the capital Brasilia told this envoy that the military, in addition to the heads of the two houses of Parliament, accepted without a doubt the result of the elections.
The main blocks were in the state of Santa Catarina, where Bolsonaro won overwhelminglyand in other districts of those regions such as Pará and Rio Grande do Sul.
Lawmaker Nereu Crispim, leader of the truckers’ chamber and head of the front that brings together these companies and drivers in Congress, soon said he “recognized the result of the elections, which is the fruit of democracy.”
The same argument of the same head of state who said it on Friday he wouldn’t argue with the results even if they went against him.
Rumors of fraud, via Telegram
Throughout the night and Sunday afternoon, even shortly after the start of the electoral count, there was some commotion on networks with messages on Telegram, among other Internet services, of ultrabolsonarian groups warning of a alleged fraud in elections that change votes.
A relationship of Folha of San Paolo among other media, he recorded that there were messages such as “this is a theft at the polls” and “the ballot box (electronic) has an algorithm” that supposedly changes the vote.
The offensive included suspicious graphs of changes in the percentage of votes that would benefit the PT leader. “It is obvious that everything is manipulated”, pointed to a caption on one of those graphs.
Bolsonaro’s insistence on doubts about electronic voting already in the first round had led to fears of action in Brasilia against the headquarters of the Higher Electoral Court and its president, Judge Alexander de Moraes, who were particularly attacked by the president.
It didn’t happen largely because the ruling party got a higher-than-expected vote-pool and left it on the road to a possible victory in the ballot.
The possibility of defeat had already caused a tense moment Wednesday night when the president unexpectedly summoned for an urgent cabinet meeting with the participation of the commanders of the Armed Forces.
It was after his government filed a complaint, rejected by the courts, that radio stations in the north and north-east of the country, where the PT has a strong presence, denied advertising for the president’s Liberal Party. . That crime could not be proved e the cause has collapsed that irritated the sovereign.
The campaign has been covered from the outset by waves of fake news who denounced that the PT I would like to close the churches or that his ideology was communist and that it would destroy the freedom of the press. These messages have been partially replicated in these hours, even with the protests of extremist groups for having done nothing prevent the victory of Lula da Silva.
Sources in Brazil downplayed the importance of the truckers’ protest, claiming it would fade as the hours passed, but stressed the importance of a dissuasive message from the president to prevent this type of incident.
“There are ultranationalist groups who want to imitate Donald Trump’s madness with the capture of the Capitol, but they are very small and with little mobilization capacity, they just make noise and scare ”, a judicial source told this envoy.
The Lula camp did not comment on the truckers’ protest. On election day he filed a complaint against the traffic police.
It did so when it was found that numerous and suspicious procedures had been carried out, blocking the movement of passenger transport, blocking or delaying the access of voters to the polling halls. This maneuver was aimed in particular at the PT electorate.
