SAO PAULO – A protest by Brazilian truckers loyal to President Jair Bolsonaro had largely fizzled out on Friday, a relief for industries that feared supply shortages.
Brazil’s infrastructure minister said in a statement early Friday that there were protests along highways in three states – Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Rondonia – but no roads were blocked. That compared with 16 states that had registered highway protests earlier in the week.
