Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro yesterday appealed to his supporters to clear the country’s roads so as not to lose “legitimacy”
“I want to appeal to you, clear the highways. This is not, in my opinion, part of these legitimate manifestations. We are not going to lose our legitimacy here,” said Bolsonaro, in a video recorded and shared on social media.
“The closing of highways in Brazil harms people’s right to come and go, it’s there in our Constitution. And we’ve always been within those four lines. I have to respect the rights of other people who are on the move, as well as damage our economy,” he insisted.
