Protests by supporters of Jair Bolsonaro are just the beginning
Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitasklorry drivers had already begun blocking roads throughout the country, burning tyres and calling for military intervention to prevent him from taking office.

The highway police delayed obeying court orders to break them up, but eventually started doing so.
But even if Mr Bolsonaro lets a peaceful transition take place, Lula will struggle to govern a country that is deeply divided. The slim margin of 1.8 percentage points reflects the fact that both candidates had high rejection rates, says Antonio Lavareda of Ipespe, a polling firm. Mr Bolsonaro’s approval ratings dropped after mismanaging the pandemic. Lula’s legacy was tainted in the eyes of many by aknown as Lava Jato , which came to light in 2014.
Policy proposals took a backseat during the campaign in favour of mudslinging on both sides. Lula’s priority is to boost spending to alleviate poverty, which will require tricky economic reforms. His first task is to pick an economy minister who can drum up support in Congress and the markets. Lula will also need to devise a plan to jump-start growth. It is likely to include a big public-private infrastructure programme and tax reform, which will be tough to get through Congress.
