Brazil’s President urges supporters to end roadblocks

Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro has spoken out against his supporters who have been blocking in protest against Sunday’s election results.

Truckers who support Bolsonaro have erected hundreds of roadblocks across Brazil since it was announced that Mr Bolsonaro’s left-wing rival Lula da Silva won the election.

Mr Bolsonaro called on the truckers to clear the roads and protest elsewhere saying that blocking roads was not a part of “legitimate” protests.

He encouraged people to choose other ways of demonstrating.
