Supporters of President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), defeated at the polls this Sunday (30), protest in the Tietê marginal, in São Paulo, on Monday night (31). The protesters blocked about 300 meters of the fastest lanes 1, 2 and 3, and the cars only pass through lane 4 (local) in the early evening towards Ayrton Senna, near the Bandeiras bridge.

Considered the main expressway in the capital, as it connects the west, north, central and east regions, the road was occupied by Brazilian flags and had about a hundred protesters in the early evening.
