Truckers' strike? Not to worry about. For the average Brazilian fed a diet of fake news and "let's go to the streets" calls the truckers are protesting against the politicians and the status quo. I am laughing here. The truckers' strike was high jacked as the causes are more mundane. Recession has plummeted number of truck trips Fleet, which had been inflated by government subsidies, had idleness and unemployment after the crisis According to economist Samuel Pessoa, as a result of the policy of financing trucks by Bndes in the second Lula government, the fleet expanded by 40% while freight by only 10%. Interest was only 2.5% per year. Were they protesting when they were they getting the subsidies to buy trucks? No they were not. It is the most natural thing that during a recession transport of goods go down. Now the Brazilians are looking like idiots by supporting the truckers. www1.folha.uol.com.br
