You don’t need to tone anything down if you don’t want to. I just feel like people should have every information available. Just like you said, Alexandre has stated that no votes were stopped and that Vasques stated all approaches followed the traffic code. To be more specific, they approached those that had things like flat tires and broken headlights. The PRF also says a 43% decrease in deaths and 72% decrease in injuries during traffic accidents can be attributed their increased security efforts when compared to the first election round. I didn’t find anything regarding the indigenous people who couldn’t vote except mentions on the website “Boato ou Fato” from the justiça eleitoral saying the allegations are fake. I do believe, however, that the lack of indigenous access to transportation, health and education is a HUGE problem. Attributing their lack of access to public buses to the supposed coup seems like a minimization of the problem. I also didn’t find anything about Bolsonaro himself instructing the PRF. I don’t like him, but political polarization is not the answer and it’s making us all less informed. I support your commitment to democracy and I recommend the video Change My Mind by Guto Zacarias. I like that he doesn’t support the idealization of any politician while being a politician himself.

ps. I didn’t mean to be rude, I know you’re just trying to make people aware of how scary politics can be in Brazil sometimes and I think there are plenty of things bad enough that we don’t have to resort to sensationalism. Sometimes it’s hard to stay quiet when there are 30 different headlines saying we almost had a coup. The numbers on my previous post were supposed to give some context to the magnitude of the situation, not to undermine it.

Okay, serious topic rn, Brazil is on the verge of a coup d'état. Federal highway police are blocking main highways in different places, causing traffic trying to stop people from voting on the opposition (Lula). People on the northeast are having extra trouble with the roadblocks and in some cities the public transport got the free pass suspended (there's a law that made public transport free for the election day), in other cities buses won't stop to let electors board in.

Indigenous people also facing trouble getting to the election place.

This is outrageous and absurd, pls spread the word and make this whole situation known. We've faced a coup and dictatorship before. NEVER again.

Democracy is the only way and this is a global fight.

I understand if your are happy that Bolsonaro has lost, but please watch this before commemorating that Lula won:

Please be careful about how you spread this information! I know it’s frustrating for those who were stopped but, if this was an attempt to keep Bolsonaro in power, it is a pretty ineffective one. Estimates say 610 buses were stopped in total. Lets round up and say each one of those had 50 people and all of those could not vote. That’s equal to 30,500 people. Lula won by less than 2%, and that’s still equal to more than 2 million votes. The operation would need to have been 65 times bigger to make a difference, and all voters got to the ballots on time. According to the Policia Rodoviária, the vehicles stopped were not in conduct with the Brazilian Transit Code. I tried to find how many vehicles are stopped by the Federal Highway Police on a usual day but I could not. To make an estimate, however, I found that one operation in a period of 8 hours stopped 811 vehicles in Cuiabá which has a population of 618,124, so if you imagine instead 100 vehicles are stopped for every 500,000 people in a day instead of 8 hours (rounding down by a factor of 18!) then 42,000 vehicles would usually be stopped daily. Far more than the 610 reported. Yes, the highway police were not supposed to be stopping buses yesterday, but it’s important to inform people how things really happened regardless of political agendas!

hey, i know people typically dislike seeing posts like these but PLEASE pay attention to what’s happening in brazil right now. the federal police are conducting various unauthorized operations with the sole intention of blocking the roads and keeping people from voting, specially in places where people mostly vote for the opposing candidate to the current president. you can probably guess that this is a pretty illegal attempt to keep the current president in power.

i am asking you to talk about this, to spread the word, to not let this happen in silence because we cannot let our country receive such shameless attacks to our democracy like this.

here is a link to twitter also where i've shared one of the many videos circulating showing this happening:

I am a Brazilian citizen and I am saddened by what is happening right now in my country. I do not like former president Jair Bolsonaro, but having Lula as president is not a victory for us, please be careful about the congratulations when you are not informed regarding our politics. Here is a small guide for those of you who wish to understand why our population was so divided as to have Lula win by less than 2% of votes.

There are three main points I took into consideration when deciding whether to vote for Bolsonaro or Lula: corruption, speech, and competence.

Corruption:

There are scandals related to both candidates, but lets remember they are both innocent people proven guilty. Still, it is important to analyze the evidence to be well informed of both.

Bolsonaro and his family are being accused of having bought 107 properties in the last 30 years, about 51 of each were bought partially or completely with cash. The value of these properties amounts to about 26.5 million reais (about 5 million dollars) when corrected for inflation. This is not a crime in itself, but it is extremely suspicious. It is important to note, however, that the investigation included about 32 different people (including his ex-wives and their families). This means about 27 thousand reais (about 5 thousand dollars) were spend per person, per year. Bolsonaro has also stated that he has nothing to do with the money spend by his extended family and that his son Flavio participates in property investments, where those cost very little.

In regards to Lula, several members of his and other government parties were found to be guilty of embezzling money from the government. To keep things shorter I will only speak of the accusations related to Lula himself. He was accused of 11 crimes regarding his time as president. Of those, he was absolved of 3: obstruction of justice, passive corruption in the Operation Zealots, and criminal organization. The crimes for which he was condemned were passive corruption and embezzlement in the Sítio de Atibaia and Guaraja Triplex. Both properties were acquired by companies involved in the corruption scandal (OAS and Odebrecht) and had evidence of being used by Lula, including text messages, witnesses and personal belongings (the most damning of which, in my opinion, was a boat saying “Lula and Maísa”. For those, he was found guilty in the trial, appellate, and high court, and spend 580 days in jail. However, the process was annulled as the trial was found to be unconstitutional (rightly so in my opinion). The judge, Sergio Moro, showed his lack of impartiality in several instances, and many pieces of evidence were acquired through wiretapping. The trial was also supposed to happen in Brasília instead of Curitiba, as that is where the supposed crimes occurred. Because a lot of time happened between the crime and the trial, and taking into consideration Lula’s age of 72, the re-trials were delayed and haven’t happened to this day. What about the other accusations you say? Five more instances of either traffic of influence, criminal organization, passive corruption and money laundering were suspended, and another of traffic of influence was arquived. Lula is innocent until proved guilty, but it’s important to note that he was not absolved of his alleged crimes as most are yet to be trialed.

pt2 comes out soon

edit: I mentioned the main allegations regarding Bolsonaro but there are others regarding him and those around him in the government. I’ll add those as soon as I can.
