Live from São Paulo, Brian Mier reports on the strike wave sweeping Brazil's trucking and petroleum industries - in reaction to the coup government's dismantling of the semi-state owned oil company Petrobras and the rising price of oil and gas now untethered from social good and solely tied to international markets.
Brian translated the recent articles Truckers’ strike: not perfect but demands are legitimate and Trucker Strike: Petrobras’ Dismantlement Leads Brazil to Chaos for Brasilwire.
Brian Mier is co-editor at Brasil Wire, Brazil correspondant for TeleSur English's news program From the South, and host of Globalistas on TV 247. You can follow Brian on his Substack.
