by

After trying to clear the undemocratic blockade at km 26 of Castelo Branco Highway in Barueri (SP), the riot police retreated and awaits further orders. The Military Highway Police also observes the actions of the protesters waiting for determinations.

According to the spokesperson for the Military Police, Captain Glauco, the police received a clearance order around 12:30 pm and the riot police were called. Rubber bullets and tear gas were used and the protesters dispersed, refocusing a few meters ahead.

Now the corporation awaits further orders as protesters close three of the four lanes inland.

According to the captain, it is the most important blockage point on the highway, since, in the vicinity of the capital, there is the possibility of detours, something more difficult on this stretch of the highway.

Ambulances and trucks carrying hospital oxygen and food are allowed to pass through the fourth lane.
