👉🏽 Truck driver leaders minimize protests and defend election results
At least three truck driver leaders said that the protests on the country's highways bring together some drivers who support President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) and are unhappy with the election results, but do not reflect the demands of the majority of the category.
According to them, the protests include protesters who are not truck drivers: “I don't see 100% of the category. These are people who are unhappy with the results of the elections. We are trying to understand where the movement is coming from”, said the president of the Brazilian Association of Motor Vehicle Drivers (Abrava), Wallace Landim, known as Chorão.
In relation to the images that circulate in WhatsApp groups and social networks, which talk about military intervention to reverse the result of the election, Chorão stated: “I don’t fight and I will never fight against the country’s democracy”. “I'm very sad that many people use the truck drivers' names. My line is more of pacification”, concludes the representative, who said he does not believe the protests will persist.
Wanderlei Alves, known as Dedeco, also sees protests as punctual. “I believe they have the right to protest, but they have to accept democracy,” she says. Dedeco opines that “if it is a strike to claim some of the class's rights, the class will have my support. If it’s a political strike, to disrupt Lula’s government, you won’t have my support.”
Plínio Dias, director-president of the National Council for Road Cargo Transport (CNTRC), said that there is no sign of a widespread stoppage of self-employed truck drivers. “I saw some videos and they are unknown people and I don’t think they’re even truck drivers either,” he pointed out.
