Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Alexandre de Moraes ordered the Federal Police, the PRF (Federal Highway Police) and the Military Police in the Federal District to clear roads blocked by Bolsonar protesters in anti-democratic protests.

According to the text signed by Moraes, the measures for the unblocking must be applied by the police immediately, within the scope of their attributions and at the discretion of the responsible authorities.
The minister points out that the decision applies to public roads that, “illicitly, have their traffic interrupted”, with the protection of order in the surroundings.
It also emphasizes the safety of pedestrians, drivers and passengers, in addition to “the participants in the illegal movement themselves who may be positioned in inappropriate places on public roads in the Federal District and in the vicinity of public buildings”.
He adds that police officers must prevent the occupation of shoulders, the obstruction or imposition of difficulty in accessing roads and public buildings.
Also according to the decision, if police officers identify those responsible for the trucks used in the blockades, they must immediately send this information to Justice so that a fine of R$ 100,000 can be applied.
“The Director General of the Federal Police and the Federal Highway Police, the Governor and the Attorney General of the Federal District, as well as the Commander of the Military Police of the Federal District”, he says.
